My favorite Holiday is Thanksgiving!  We always have traditional Italian food and then the traditional Thanksgiving spread with all of the fixings.  Then after we are done eating the sweets come out which always include Cream Puffs, Cheese Cake, Pies, and SO MUCH MORE!  I am wanting to bring these adorable Turkey cupcakes this year to make everyone smile!  This will definitely be popular with the kids!

Now place 2 yellow pieces in front below the eyes for the gobble spread them apart like the picture shows
