Magnolia Bakery's red velvet Rockette and truffle chocolate cupcakes

I stopped by Magnolia Bakery in Rockefeller Center and it was so crowded they were only letting in a few people at a time, but once inside, the line moved quickly. I'm bringing some mini cupcakes and some of these red velvet Rockette cupcakes and truffle chocolate cupcakes, along with s'mores (my favorite!) to a friend's Thanksgiving party. Will let you know how they go over! Visit magnoliabakery.com and their Facebook page for more information.

Thanksgiving turkey dinner on a cookie on a cupcake!

Love love love this turkey Thanksgiving dinner on a cookie on a cupcake by Mrs. Fox's Sweets (via Flickr), who writes:

I decorated the cookie before putting it on the cupcake.First I frosted the the cookie, then added a little white icing for the mashed potatoes. I put a little yellow circle sprinkle in the center for butter, and then a little yellow piping gel since the sprinkle wasn't enough. For cranberry sauce I used red colored sugar. The green beans are made with green jimmies and the turkey was made with coffee flavored fondant (from Fondarific).

I love how fun, adorable and creative this is, and it's vegetarian! Who wouldn't smile when seeing this on the dinner table?

Cupcake decorating improvisation: candy necklaces for turkey feathers

One of my favorite things about cupcakes is that you can literally use anything to decorate them, and this post at Hoosier Homemade involves decorating improvisation in the form of candy necklaces! So fun, and a great way to use leftover Halloween candy (if any should exist in your house). True confession: sometimes my favorite part of a post like this is the ingredient list!

Pilgrim Cupcakes: Deconstructed

Hey there little pilgrim, how adorable are you?! There isn't an official tutorial on how to re-create these ridiculously cute cupcakes that I found so I'm going to attempt to de-construct them.

The cupcake looks like your standard vanilla or white...box cake mix perhaps? There's a blob of some sort of lighter colored frosting as the head and a face piped with black piping gel. The hat looks like the brim/foundation is an upside down striped cookie (like those keebler ones). The top hat part is what I believe is a chocolate covered jumbo marshmallow. The hat is also decorated with piping gel. The dark cupcake liner is a good idea to stick with, makes the pilgrim look even more authentic!

I hope this has helped you so you can create your own Thanksgiving Pilgrims!

Thanksgiving Turkey Cupcakes

The Brown Eyed Baker said she got the idea for these chocolaty turkeys from a picture she saw on Pinterest, which I can totally understand because I'm addicted to Pinterest. She thought they'd be fun for Thanksgiving and decided to turn them into cupcakes toppers!

All you need are chocolate cupcakes, Oreos, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Whoppers, and candy corn. I think these would be so much fun to make with the family and to eat for Thanksgiving dessert!

For details and directions, check out the whole post by the Brown Eyed Baker!

Now those are some turkey cupcakes!

Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Recipes & Tips 2011

Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Recipes and Tips

The Big T. Thanksgiving. Nothing sends shivers of trepidation up a gluten-free or dairy-free girl's spine like the mental image of Grandma's sage pungent white bread dressing or shimmying slabs of Aunt Ida's pumpkin pie. It's a butter and wheat flour gorge fest with danger at every turn. The gruesome gut-twisting threat of thirty-six hours chugging Pepto Bismol is poised to strike on every holiday decorated plate- jovial forkfuls of tradition and conviviality aside.

It can be a nightmare.
