Thanksgiving cupcakes

Ingredients
1
box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® yellow cake mix or your favorite flavor cake mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
2
containers Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy milk chocolate frosting
1
tube (4.25 oz) Betty Crocker® white decorating icing
1
tube (0.68 oz) Betty Crocker® brown decorating gel
Candy corn
Betty Crocker® chocolate candy sprinkles

Directions
1Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Make, bake and cool cake as directed on box for 24 cupcakes.
2Frost cupcakes with frosting. Place remaining frosting in corner of resealable freezer plastic bag. Snip off small corner of bag.
3To decorate each cupcake, pipe 1-inch mound of frosting on 1 side of cupcake to look like head of turkey. Make eyes with white decorating icing and brown decorating gel; add candy corn for beak. To make feathers, pipe frosting on opposite side to hold candy corn; place candy corn upright on frosting to look like feathers. Sprinkle chocolate candy sprinkles near head and at base of feathers. If desired, add candy corn at base of cupcake for feet. Store loosely covered.

Expert Tips
If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time. Easily fill a bag with frosting by placing the bag into a mug and turning the top down over the sides. Fill with frosting, then twist to close the top of the bag, squeezing to one corner before snipping off a tip. Bake cupcakes ahead. Tightly cover unfrosted cupcakes and freeze up to 2 months.

My Thoughts 
   This cupcake recipe is great for thanksgiving you can design it how you want it or you can leave it the way it is in the picture below. This a good cupcake design for kids when the meal is getting ready or after its a fun and creative thing to do for the whole family. This is a simple thing to make the design on the cupcake is the hard part to do sometimes but when you got it down its going to look great. Id you want to change the design like not putting candy corn and instead put something else that can work to. Also if you want to make a another character standing by the turkey like a pilgrim with close and a musket that can also work and make your cupcake idea come to life.
