Turkey Pancakes

Adorable Turkey Pancakes!

Three colours of pancake batter and mini chocolate morsels is all you need for these adorable turkey pancakes!  As always, I used condiment dispensers for each colour.  After I flipped the pancakes I placed 2 morsels to represent each eye.

Pie Crust Turkey Handprint Cookie

Turkey Cut Out Before it was Cooked!

I saw this hand print pie crust on top of a pumpkin pie so I decided to just make the pie crust 'cookie' without the pie.  I bought the pre-made pie crust, traced my kid's hand prints, decorated the prints and VOILA....  hand print turkey cookie.  Simple, easy and fun!

Turkey Cupcakes

Turkey Cupcake!

Since I am Canadian living in the US, I am inviting a few families over for a Canadian Thanksgiving dinner next weekend.  For dessert, I think I might make these turkey cupcakes for the kid's dessert.  Simple to make, if you can find these German Chocolate Cake marshmallows.  For the icing, I added some copper and brown food gel and then I obviously just covered the cupcake with the icing.  For the head, I used one of the German Chocolate Marshmallows and I used melted chocolate to 'glue' black cake confetti for eyes, half an m & m for the beak and a red maple leaf cake confetti for the waddle.  I just placed the head on top of the iced cupcake.  For the tail, I pushed five caramel candy corns into the cupcake.  Voila... a cute turkey cupcake, any kid will love!

Pumpkin Marshmallows Sandwiches

Pumpkin Marshmallows Sandwiches

When I found these jumbo marshmallows at the store I made the chocolate covered marshmallows in my previous post and then just quickly came up with these pumpkin sandwiches.  All I did was cut the marshmallows in half, spread some of my orange candy melts on one side, put the two halves back together and then 'pipe' the jack-o-lantern face with more candy melts.  A snack a kid will love but it will give them a supreme sugar rush:)

Chocolate Covered Pumpkin Marshmallows

A Basket of Pumpkin Marshmallows

My kid's had an Oktoberfest celebration at their school this past weekend and parents are all asked to bring in 'baked' goods to sell.  A few days before the weekend I was in Wal-Mart and saw these jumbo orange pumpkin marshmallows and I had to buy them, knowing I could make something fun with them.  I came home with them and all I did was put the marshmallows on a popsicle stick, dip them in orange candy melts and/or melted chocolate and put them in the fridge to harden quicker.  Before I put the orange covered pumpkins in the fridge I added mini m & m's and string licorice for a jack - o - lantern face.  To get the face on the chocolate ones, I took some of the melted orange melts, put them in a ziploc, snipped a corner off and 'piped' the face on the pumpkin!  Simple yet adorable.  Great for halloween, autumn or thanksgiving!

Some of the Coolest Marshmallows I Have Ever bought!

Turkey Cake Pops

Turkey Cake Pop

These cake pops are adorable.  Thanks to the amazing Bakerella, I got the idea for these cake pops but I did tweak them to make them my own.  I first assembled the turkey heads.  The turkey heads were chocolate covered strawberries and then I used melted chocolate to glue on half an orange M & M for the beak and a maple leaf shaped cake confetti for the waddle!  I then made a basic cake ball, dipped it in melted chocolate and added pretzel pieces for legs and caramel candy corn for the tail feathers.  I then placed them in the fridge and let them harden.  After they were hard, I used melted chocolate again as glue to attach the assembled turkey head.  Labour intensive but worth it!

Pumpkin Jack-O-Lantern Cupcakes

Jack-O-Lantern Pumpkin Pancake

These are just a basic pancake with some orange food colouring and some mini peanut butter cups.  All I did was place the chocolate on the griddle, pour the batter over it and cook as usual.  Easy but fun for the kids!  I made these last year, this year I might try to make ones with pumpkin in them for added health!
