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?

Raw rainbow cupcake and recipe link, plus Turkfruity cuteness

I saw a raw dessert at Bakery on the Hill in Portland, Maine, and immediately said, "Do you know the blog Rawdorable?" They didn't, but are going to check it out, and whether you eat raw food or not, you should check out Rawdorable for the emphasis on the "adorable" part. Seriously, it's always full of such cuteness, and recipes and decorating tips, most recently, this raw rainbow cupcake.





And you will very rarely find me posting something that's not a cupcake or cake pop since this blog is, indeed, called Cupcakes Take the Cake, but I'm going to make a Thanksgiving cuteness exception for this Turkfruity. You're welcome.

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!

5 cute Halloween bat cupcakes, plus bat cupcake wrappers

So that bats get their own special due, and because these are extra cute Halloween bat cupcakes...I was very scared of bats when I was little, even though I'm pretty sure I've never seen an actual bat, so I love when cupcakes take something I'd find scary in real life and turn it into something adorable.
