Scarecrow cupcakes & Turkey cookies

We had Thanksgiving dinner at my Dad's house this year.  I was asked to bring dessert and I didn't want to bring pies because I just can't seem to make good pies.  Once again I was surfing the net and came upon the Betty Crocker website and found turkey cookies.  Then the next day I bought my weekly fix of Woman's World and there was a recipe for a scarecrow made out of cupcakes.  Dessert for Thanksgiving now was found!

Here is the link for the turkey cookies:

So apparently I only took pictures of the finished cookies.  These went like hot cakes at dinner.  Next year I will have to make more.

On to the scarecrow cupcake man!  This was labour of love and I have learned more since making this one.  I don't know if I will make it again.  Some of the things used to decorate it didn't work too well.

My baking partner in crime Christy and I made 2 scarecrows for our Thanksgiving dinners.

Crow made out of an Oreo cookie, junior mint and fuzzy peach

Hats made out of graham crackers and an M&M

I had leftover cupcakes so I made a pumpkin patch and attempted to make fall flowers out of the leftover candy corn.
