📝 Preparation Steps
1
Use your favorite recipe or a box mix to bake your choice of cupcakes. I used my recipe for chocolate cupcakes! Frost the tops of them with chocolate frosting (I used my classic chocolate buttercream frosting) using a frosting spatula or a knife.
Chocolate frosting (store-bought or homemade)12 ounces
2
Assemble the turkey’s face by using the leftover chocolate frosting as “glue” to add the eyeballs to the mini oreo. Break off or cut the end of the candy corn for the beak, and cut the end of a red gummy worm off to use as the wattle. I made the gummy worm thinner by cutting off the back half and just using the top part for the wattle.
Chocolate frosting (store-bought or homemade)12 ounces
3
Spread a small smear of frosting on the back of the oreo and press onto the center of the cupcake, just a little bit forward from the direct center.
4
Use candy corn to create the tail feathers. I used six in the back row and five in the second row. And voila! You’ve got yourself a festive turkey cupcake! Repeat the steps for the remaining cupcakes.
