Instructions: 1. Heat oven to 350F. Line 24 muffin cups with paper baking cups.

2. In a large bowl, combine all cupcake ingredients at low speed until moistened.

Beat 2 minutes at high speed. Pour batter into paper-lined muffin cups.

Bake for 20-30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes and remove from pan. Cool completely.

3. Frost the tops of the cupcakes with frosting.

4. To form each body, take a large gumdrop and press a piece of candy corn into the center at an angle to resemble the beak. Cut each red gumdrop into 12 thin strips, about 1/4 inch long, and press one strip below each beak to form "wattle". Place one completely gumdrop in the center of each cupcake. To form feathers, arrange about 5 candy corn pieces in a half circle around the edge of each cupcake, points toward center.
