Thank goodness for the internet. At first I thought it was a wattle, but now I know it's a snood. (The wattle hangs down the neck.)
The second most pressing question of the day: how long will it take me to make these cupcakes? I spent the better part of an uncharacteristically glorious 60º November day cutting up sticky fruit slices (I subbed those for swedish fish, which I could find only in red,) toasting coconut (you have to keep a watchful eye over it- I've burnt more pans than I care to admit) and
assembling turkeys.
(I used chocolate jimmies for eyes, candy corn for beaks,
and fruit slices for feathers and snoods.)

Toasted coconut marshmallows proved to be a problem to find (we looked in five different stores.) With a little simple sugar syrup and a lot of busy work, The Daughter made the eighteen turkey heads.
The resulting flock of turkeys: time-consuming but worth it.
Thank you, Rachel at Simple Girl, for picking a great cupcake. It's the perfect Thanksgiving treat for The Daughter to share with her soccer team.
