Frosting Nozzle Tips
Bake the cupcakes as stated on the Cupcake Mix Package. Let cupcakes cool before moving onto the decorating portion.
"Me and Jenny goes together like peas and caaaarrots..."
1. Take the vanilla frosting and add green food coloring till it is to your liking.
2. Collect all orange starbursts in your starburst package and cut them into fours.
3. Collect all green apples in your runtz package
4. Frost your cupcake and then skatter your candies throughout the cupcake...
End Result:
"These mashed potatoes are so creamy..."
1. Take the vanilla frosting and add only a few drops of yellow food coloring.
2. Grab one yellow starburst
3.. Frost your cupcake and make sure to leave a little crater in the middle of the frosting
4. Take the caramel drizzle and poor some in the crater
5. Add your yellow starburst on top
End Result:
"Give me the booze, you little pumpkin pie haircutted freak"4. Take the caramel drizzle and poor some in the crater
5. Add your yellow starburst on top
End Result:
1. Take vanilla frosting, this is going to be a little work, but take red, yellow and blue and mix together..you can even use green but you want to come out with a shade of orange/brown. You may have to work at this a few times or just keep adding colors till you like what you see. I always start with the red and yellow first and then move into the darker color, mixing a little at a time.
2. Take vanilla frosting and do the same as step one, this time you want it to come out more crust brown if possible.
3.. Take some of your orange/Brown frosting and frost with a butter knife on a cupcake
4. Take your piping bag and fill with the brown crust frosting.
5. Go around the edges of your cupcake to create a crust look.
6. You can add a small dab of white frosting in the middle to look like whip cream.
End Result:
"Is that a fried turkey leg wrapped inside a burger?"4. Take your piping bag and fill with the brown crust frosting.

This is the most difficult so I've included extra pictures...
1. Take vanilla frosting and frost the top of a cupcake.
2. Take a donut hole and sit it on the frosting a little off center
3.. Take some white candy melts and put them in a frosting piping bag (Make sure to not cut the whole for this until after you have done the next step.)
4. Follow the directions to the candy melts in the microwave.
5. Take parchment paper while the candy melts are melting and put a sheet on a cookie sheet.
6. Line toothpicks on cookie sheet while candy melts are melting.
7. Once candy melts are melted, take the melted candy and pour it over the toothpicks to create turkey bone shapes.
