Turkey Cupcakes...

Happy Cupcake Tuesday! These cupcakes are so cute and taste amazing :-) We love to make these during fall as gifts and special treats to have around the house. This is a Betty Crocker recipe and it is good!
Ingredients: ~ 1 box of devils food cake mix ~ 2 containers of milk chocolate frosting ~ 1 tube of white decorating icing ~ 1 tube brown decorating gel ~ candy corn ~ chocolate sprinkles Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Make and cool cake as directed on box for 24 cupcakes. Frost cupcakes with frosting. Place remaining frosting in corner of resealable freezer plastic bag. Snip off small corner of bag. To 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 remaining chocolate 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. ENJOY :-) Jordan and Taylor

Tie Dye-Cupcakes...

The other day, we saw a recipe for Rainbow Cake. When we looked at the instructions, we thought it would be cool to make cupcakes, so we did and called them Tie Dye cupcakes:-) They're really simple to make. All you need to do is use any white cake recipe...from scratch or a box. We used food coloring in purple, blue, green, yellow, orange and red. Divide the batter into 6 containers and color each container with a different color. You can use cupcake liners or just grease the pans...that's what we did. We used a scooper for mini muffins or cookies and placed one scoop in the cupcake pan. We then got another color and put it over the first color. Do this until you have used all colors of batter. If you want, you can use as many or as little colors that you want. Bake the cupcakes the amount of time listed in the recipe or on the box. For frosting, we used our Grandma's special family recipe, which is our favorite. Maybe we'll post it sometime. Maybe!:-) You could use any frosting recipe you like, frosting from a can or whipped topping. These are so beautiful and they are very moist. They would be great for a party! Hope you like them.
