Thanksgiving Cupcakes

Note: Chris thought I was going to actually put turkey meat in cupcake mix. No, silly! They're just cupcakes that look like turkeys! Happy Thanksgiving!

cupcake mix
chocolate frosting
cookies for the wings and head (I used Keebler 100 Calorie Right bites, but you might have to get creative depending on whether or not they're available)
candy corn
white icing
black decorators' gel
red fruit leather (i.e., strawberry Fruit by the Foot)

1. Frost the cupcake, then press in a cookie head and 2 cookie wings.
2. Press in a row or two of candy corn tail feathers.
3. To make an eye, add a small dot of white icing to the head (I skip that part), then add a dot of black decorators' gel for a pupil.
4. For a beak, cut the white tip from a piece of candy corn and press it in place.

5. To make the wattle, cut a 1-inch square of fruit leather. Roll it into a tube and stick it in place over the beak.
