Instructions
Use the red frosting to "stick" the candy eyes to the top of the bottom of the mini PB cups (that sounds confusing. But its not...unwrap the PB cups and the widest part is where the eyes will attach).
Use the red frosting to create a sideways raindrop nose. You'll want part of the nose to be where the candy corn attaches and becomes the beak and the rest of the red to be the gobbler.
Place the face on the center of your cupcake.
Place 4 to 5 candy corn directly behind the face and 2 mini pretzels behind the candy corn. This will be the turkey feathers.
Very carefully pipe red icing at the front of the cupcake directly in front of the face. These are your turkey legs.
💡 TIP: Use a toothpick to help get your turkey legs nice and neat.
💡 TIP: Use a ziplock bag with the corner cut in a very small hole to substitute for a frosting bag and tip.
