Turkey Dinner Cupcakes

Hello, All!

Since I got the October cakes up here, AKA Tiff's wedding cake and Jake's groom's cake, I figured it was time to move on to the November cakes!  First up are the Turkey Dinner Cupcakes from "A Taste of Home" magazine.  These took SO long to make.  Myself and my brother-in-law toughed it out for only 12 of these puppies/turkeys before we threw in the towel...and the icing....and the caramels...


There were so many little details to these, starting with the pretzel stick and caramel legs...


Then making the caramel turkey skins and carefully placing them over a big dollop of frosting and sticking the legs on the turkey...



Tinting the frosted flakes green and placing it as lettuce, cutting the pound cake into tiny cubes for the stuffing, placing the sixlets and putting leaves on them for garnish....


Then dusting all of them with cinnamon to give them that "fresh from the oven" look, and DONE!



Whew!  SO much WORK!  But they turned out great and were a huge hit at the family dinner later that night!
Stay tuned for another special November cake!
Sweet Thoughts!
