Notes
- Secure Your Creations: To ensure that the decorations stay in place, use a small amount of frosting as glue. This will help the candy eyes, M&M nose, and Twizzlers candy adhere securely to the Nutter Butter cookie without sliding off.
- Precision in Placement: When inserting the candy corn feathers into the frosted striped cookie, make sure to space them evenly and press them gently into the frosting. This will create a balanced and visually appealing arrangement resembling turkey feathers.
- Stability Matters: When inserting the various cookie and candy elements into the cupcake, be mindful of their weight distribution to maintain stability. Place the striped cookie with candy corn feathers at the back for support, and ensure that the cupcake is sturdy enough to hold the Nutter Butter cookie and Oreo halves without toppling over.
