Thanksgiving Oreo Cookie Turkey Cupcakes

Thanksgiving will be here before we know it.  In a search to find something to do with the dreadful candy corns I had left over from our Hurricane Halloween Party I stumbled on to some recipes.

Brown Eyed Baker provided a link to the Oreo Cookie Turkeys and she had the brilliant idea of putting them on top of a cupcake.  You can do many things with the Oreo Cookie Turkey, but putting it on a cupcake is shear genius.  Mix and match colors and cupcake flavors as you see fit, or as your pantry has ingredients.  I have my turkeys sitting on Red Velvet today.   Hit the Recipe but below and start baking!

Spaghetti and Ferrero Rocher Chocolate Meatball Cupcakes [Recipe]

Here is another one of those recipes that I am probably late on.  I was actually looking for a spaghetti sauce recipe and the Google auto fill typed in “Spaghetti Cupcake”.  I was shocked to see a ton of spaghetti cupcake pictures.  How have I never seen this before?

The trickiest part to this recipe is the picture.  How do you take a picture and make it look appetizing?  At first glance the recipe looks like a challenge but it’s not.  The meatball is actually a Ferrero Rocher chocolate dipped in strawberry preserves.  The spaghetti is just piped frosting put on by a homemade applicator – yes the corner snipped plastic baggie filled with frosting.  This time you are making spaghetti so it’s ok to be sloppy.  It’s ok to eat more than one if you have a high Meat-a-ballism.  Hit the Recipe Button and BAKE!

Halloween Devils Food Spider Cupcakes with Ganache Frosting

More Halloween cupcakes! This will probably be the first of 3 spider recipes. With all the gorgeous cupcake pictures on the internet and in blogs I grab only the ones with detailed, easy to make recipes. For spiders I have found about 6 or 7 that look great and are easy to execute. My only recommendation with these are for the spider eyes. Kids like buggier eyes, so you can buy some candy eyes instead of the silver dragees as the recipe suggests! Other than that, these devils food creations are delightful.

Halloween Worms in Dirt Cupcakes!

These are perfect for Halloween, Earth Day, or Father’s Day if Dad is a fisherman. There are a lot of recipes around the net, but I chose this one because it’s crystal clear with tons of pictures on how to make the dirt topping. The better you make the dirt, the more you get the effect of the worm coming out of the cupcake. You can either use gummy worms like those shown, or get some tootsie rolls heat them and roll them thin. Either way these are almost all ways a hit. Click below to get the recipe!!
