Ingredients

  • 1 (15.25 oz) Cake Mix (I use chocolate, but use what you want)
  • 3 lg Eggs (or amount your mix calls for)
  • 1 cup Water (or amount your mix calls for)
  • cup Vegetable Oil (or amount your mix calls for)
  • 24 Paper Cupcake Liners

For Decorating

  • 1 (16 oz) tub Frosting (I find chocolate or vanilla looks cute)
  • 1 bag Candy Corn
  • 1 bottle Small Googly Eyes

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350° F.
  • Mix cake mix according to package instructions.
  • Line 2 (12-cup) muffin tins with the cupcake liners.
  • Fill cupcake liners about 2/3 full. Use all of the cake batter. It's okay if they are a little fuller than 2/3.
  • Bake 13 to 17 minutes (or time stated on box), or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
  • Let cool in the pans for 30 minutes. Then remove the cupcakes to a wire rack to finish cooling.
  • Spread some frosting on each cupcake to cover tops. Then arrange the candy eyes and candy corn on the cupcake to make the turkeys.
  • Use 5 or 6 candy corns for the tail feathers, and one with the pointy side down for the beak. Set the eyes just above the beak. Or get creative!
