Thanksgiving Nutter Butter Turkey Cupcakes [Recipe]

This cupcake is more about what you can do creatively then the recipe.

Once you see the picture everything else should fall in place, but for those who like a step by step I have still included the link to the recipe below.

At first glance the only thing that was questionable was how in the heck did they make the red thing that hangs down from the turkey’s neck.  I believe that is called a “Wattle”.  If you remember Allie McBeal then you will indeed remember he Wattle.  Anyhow, this is made by any super meticulous person who wants to take a fruit roll up and cut and stick a wattle in the side of a Their Nutter butter bodied Turkey.

Good Luck with that.

For me, my wattle-less cupcakes look just perfect and ready for tomorrow’s Pre-Thanksgiving Day festivities.  Right now my real turkey is ready to go in the oven and I’m ready to go in the tub. After fighting an old lady for the last bag of marshmallows, hurdling a shopping cart like OJ Simpson at an airport and dragging groceries in like I’m competing in the Kettle Bell lift of a strongman competition, I’m ready for bed….and the guests haven’t arrived yet.

I hope you are having just as much fun.  Happy Thanksgiving.

Oreo Cookie & M&M Owl Cupcakes [Recipe]

These Owls made with Oreos are great. The recipe here is inconsequential, the brilliance comes from the decorating.  This is just hands down clever.  The trickiest thing is getting the Oreo’s to split with the cream filling solid on one side.  The author of the original recipe advices to microwave 5 cookies at a time for 3-5 seconds and then using a frosting spatula.  The good part is, if you don’t split the cookie right, you can just eat it and try again.  If you are having too much trouble, then call your 5 year old, I’m sure he or she can do it perfect every time.  Enjoy this!
