Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix up the cake batter with an electric mixer according to package instructions. Use a muffin scoop to scoop cupcake batter into greased muffin pans or cupcake pans. (You don't even need cupcake liners.) Make sure you don't over-fill them. You only need to fill the muffin cup ⅔ full.
  • Add an upside down ice cream cone on top of the batter in each muffin cup. Bake cupcakes at 350°F for 20-22 minutes or until toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean. Let cool.
  • Frost cupcakes with chocolate frosting. For the turkey face: Decorate each frosted cupcake with sprinkles, candy eyes, one piece of candy corn for the turkey's beak and four candy corns for the turkey feathers. Place the tips of the candy corns down into top of the cupcake to make the feathers.
  • How do I store my cupcakes? Place cupcakes in the cupcake pan that you baked them in (after it's cooled). You can place a little bit of aluminum foil around the base of each cone to stablize them, if you wish.
    How do I transport my cupcakes? You can transport them the same exact way that you store them in the muffin pan.

Notes

Serving Suggestion for Cupcake Cones -If you're serving them at a party, place each cupcake in a clear plastic cup with a handful of candy corns or M&M candies in the bottom of the cup to stablize the cupcake and also look cute.
