To make feathers, pipe 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.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.

Easily fill a bag with frosting by placing the bag into a mug and turning the top down over the sides. Fill with frosting, then twist to close the top of the bag, squeezing to one corner before snipping off a tip.

Bake cupcakes ahead. Tightly cover unfrosted cupcakes and freeze up to 2 months.

I had the same problem as kallen18. After putting hours of hard work in baking and decorating two dozen of these cupcakes, they were melted the next day. Luckily, i had some extra cookies, etc. and was able to fix them and keep them out on my cold porch. This is the only reason keeping me from rating these cupcakes with 5 spoons. My family loved them!

Good Idea for the kiddies while we're waiting for Thanksgiving Dinner. Gives them something constuctive to do instead of running around and making alot of noise while Mom is cooking in the kitchen.
