Looking for Thanksgiving dinner cupcakes? This fun twist is sure to be a hit this season. There are so many fun turkey cupcakes out there, but I thought it would be a fun idea to give a trendy colorful twist to a cornucopia cupcake this year. It’s official! I’ve found a way to make this a pink Thanksgiving and I’m excited. This is a sponsored post with Color it Candy™, all opinions are my own.

The key to making fun Thanksgiving desserts and fall cupcakes is all about the gorgeous gumballs and Sixlets® and Pearls… oh my! I am just obsessed with all of the options with Color it Candy.

I fell in love with their shimmer colors and thought it added an extra pretty twist. One of my favorite add-ons are these Shimmer Coral Sixlets. They are so pretty and refreshing for unique thanksgiving cupcakes decorating ideas. Let me know you how easy these are to make!

CUPCAKES FOR THANKSGIVING

Do you enjoy making Thanksgiving a little extra special with desserts? I love some traditional desserts like a good pumpkin pie, but it's fun to break it up and add on something that will make everyone smile. Here is what you need to make these:

To make a nice little flat area to decorate with icing, I used the round tip on my dessert decorator. Easy, peasy.

Then, add a Bugle to the top of each cupcake to represent the cornucopia.

Next add some fall sprinkles lightly around the cupcakes to give it some flair.

Then, add a variety of the Shimmer Sixlets. About 6 pieces for each. You can use additional icing if you need help positioning them.
