Tom Turkey Cupcakes

Aren't these just the cutest cupcakes?!?! And they look so easy to make! Frost the cupcake with chocolate icing, then press in a cookie head and 2 cookie wings (Sandies Right Bite Shortbread Cookies or the mini Nilla wafers). Press in a row or two of candy corn tail feathers. To make an eye, add a small dot of white icing to the head, then add a dot of black decorators' gel for a pupil. For a beak, cut the white tip from a piece of candy corn and press it in place. To make the wattle, cut a 1-inch square of fruit leather (Fruit by the Foot). Roll it into a tube and stick it in place over the beak. What a simple activity to do over Thanksgiving break!

Notice how I said what a SIMPLE activity to do. My mother sent me an email last week "Just in case you feel creative" attached with this:

Uuuummm, hello?!?!? Seriously?!?!? Have I ever decorated a cake in my life?!?!?! And yet, this would be my rookie project?!?! If you check out the Williams-Sonoma website, there is an instructional video on how to bake, decorate, and outfit this lovely creation. Yeah, riiiight! Need I say more? And don't even think I am feeling guilty over depriving my children of this fanciful Christmas treat, 'cause I don't remember a Santa teddy bear cake in my childhood...I'm just sayin'!

And now that I have alienated 1 of my only 2 readers: I love you, Mom! But you just had to know you put yourself out there when you sent me this =)!
