- 5 tbsp Vanilla frosting
- 1 Green and yellow food coloring
- 30 grams Cornflakes
- 6 Caramel candies
- 1 Glico PRETZ (stick shaped biscuits, butter flavor if possible)
- Add green and yellow food coloring to 3 tablespoons of the vanilla frosting to turn it into the color of lettuce.

- Warm up the rest for 5 to 10 seconds in the microwave.
- Pour the warmed up frosting from Step 1 into a bowl over 1/2 of the cornflakes and mix well.
- Spread the coated cornflakes out on a piece of parchment paper so they're not overlapping.
- Make the paper patterns.
- Cut out a circle that's the size of the cupcake as shown in the photo.
- Cut off about 1/8 of the top.
- This will be the base.
- Make the turkey skin.
- Microwave 4 caramel candies for 7 seconds, and combine them to make one big piece of candy.
- If the candies are too hard to knead together, keep microwaving them in 4 second increments until they are soft enough.
- Put a sheet of plastic wrap on a flat surface.
- Put the Step 5 caramel ball on the plastic and roll it flat to fit the paper pattern made in Step 4.
- Cut the flattened caramel to fit the pattern with scissors.
- Make the turkey drumsticks (legs).
- Break the PRETZ stick into thirds, Put a kneaded softened caramel candy on one end to form a drumstick.
- They look like this.
- The PRETZ sticks don't have to be the same length.
- Spread the remaining uncolored 2 tablespoons of vanilla frosting over the cupcake.
- This will be the glue.
- Place the turkey skin from Step 6 onto the iced cupcake from Step 9, and put the folds towards the back end.
- If the frosting comes out, press the cut (bottom) end to make the skin stay on the cupcake.
- Crush the remaining uncolored cornflakes finely and mix with 1/3 teaspoon of water to soften.
- This will be the turkey stuffing.
- Press this onto the frosting that is sticking out from the bottom end after Step 10.
- Optionally add some green sprinkles (not listed).
- Moisten the caramel of the drumsticks from Step 8 slightly, and press them onto the sides of the cupcake (see photos).
- Make a small hole in the bag with the frosting in Step 2.
- Use this as glue to stick the frosting covered cornflakes from Step 3 around the turkey.
- Put a little vanilla frosting on the ends of the drumsticks to make them look like bones, and it's done.
