Gobble gobble goo and Gobble gobble gickel, I wish turkey, Only cost a nickel
Oh I love turkey on Thanksgiving….

Oh Adam Sandler how you make me giggle…

This year for thanksgiving I didn’t have to cook anything! I have a slight baking problem so that’s what I focused on this year. I came across a photo of a turkey cupcake that a friend posted on facebook. I have an addiction to facebook as well,but that’s another issue all together. I fell in love with the photo and decided to try put my own spin on turkey cupcakes.

 I spent way too long in the scrapbook paper section. I’m not a scrapbooker so I don’t normally go in that aisle. I had no idea what I was missing! I spent hours cutting out tiny feathers out of pretty paper. My older sister then said to me “why didn’t you just put them on top of each other” “you know cut them out all at once”. My answer to that is “Well that would of been too easy to do it that way”… I wanted to spend forever using a template. I liked cutting them out one by one. Ok her idea was most likely a better one.

The turkey head is a cake ball. If you go down to my cake ball post you will see a link to the directions to those. The beak is just a candy corn(I think the flavor was candy apple). White icing and chocolate chips for the eyes. I have to take a second to talk about the icing I used. It’s a new product from Pillsbury and it’s called easy frost. It’s in an easy cheese type spray can. It really was very easy to use. It was perfect for the eyes. As I didn’t take the time to spray a large amount of it into my mouth, I am sure that will be the plan for next time. The cupcakes were brownies and just a basic white cake. I didn’t want to overdue it since the cake balls were so rich and yummy.

I thought my signs were clever. I was asked by many family members what did I mean with the signs..So here’s the deal.. the turkeys are pretending to be other animals so they won’t be eaten. Two points for anyone reading this that got that. I thought it was funny.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for!

Blessings.
