I am making these for Thanksgiving tomorrow, they are the cutest little things! I even bought a cupcake tree stand to display them on. Here's the recipe and directions if anybody wants to make them. Enjoy!:happy:

Mix a can of dark pop, (coke or pepsi, ect.) with 1 box of any chocolate cake mix. After mixed, pour into a greased cupcake pan or into cupcake liners. Bake at 350 degrees until toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Decorations:
candy corn
chocolate sprinkles
decorating gel
low-fat chocolate frosting

Nutrition Facts:
94 cals cupcake
50 cals a tablespoon-Philsbury reduced sugar frosting
36 cals- 6 candy corn
20 cals- 1 tsp sprinkles (optional)

TOTAL:
200 cals - per cupcake
40 carbs
7 grams fat
1 protein
Tip: Save 50 calories by not adding sprinkles and candy corn to yours, just decorate them for looks!:tongue:

Frost the cupcake lightly with low-fat chocolate frosting, creating a little glob for the turkey's head. Then use decorating gel to create the eyeballs. Place one candy corn on the head for the beak, and 5 candy corns upside down on the back for the feathers. Sprinkle some sprinkles for the feathers on his body.

    Aww, it fell apart? Thats strange, it worked well with the cupcakes but I haven't tried it with an actual cake before. You have to use 12 onces of diet pop though, I think a can is only 8 ounces. That may be the reason, it may have caused the cupcakes to not be moist enough to rise maybe?

    :smile: Good luck with them if you try again.
