Creative Thanksgiving Desserts

Today I decided to see if I could find a decorative way to serve my cake for Thanksgiving. I searched the Internet for ideas on making a dessert look cute for the holidays, and I find some really great ideas.
Here are a few of the things I came across:
TURKEY GOBBLER CAKE:


This recipe is a very festive dessert, which everyone will love. I found it on my favorite, the Betty Crocker Website.
Ingredients:
1 box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® devil's food cake mix
Water, vegetable oil and eggs called for on cake mix box
1 container Betty Crocker® Whipped milk chocolate frosting
1 marshmallow
Red colored sugar
35 pieces candy corn
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Make and cool cake mix as directed on box for two 9-inch round pans.
2. Cut 1 layer as shown in diagram*. Freeze cut pieces uncovered 1 hour for easier frosting.
3. Place uncut layer on cake plate; frost top and side. Place cutout circle on larger layer; frost. Arrange head and feet on circle; frost.
4. Cut marshmallow in half. Moisten 1 half and dip in red sugar; join to head with frosting for turkey's wattle. Use other half of marshmallow for turkey's eye. Use candy corn for beak, claws and feathers. Store loosely covered.
High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): Follow High Altitude directions on cake mix box.

TURKEY COOKIES

These are really cute cookies for the kids which I found on Pilsbury.com.
Ingredients:
1 roll (16.5 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated sugar cookies
1 container (16 oz) chocolate creamy frosting
Candy corn
Orange decorating icing
Black decorating gel
Miniature candy-coated chocolate baking bits
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F. Bake cookies as directed on roll. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.
2. Spoon chocolate frosting into resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag. Cut small hole in bottom corner of bag. On each cookie, pipe frosting on outer edge of half of cookie. Arrange candy corn over frosting for feathers.
3. Pipe orange icing onto each cookie to resemble turkey face and feet. Use orange icing to attach baking bits to turkey face for eyes. Pipe black gel on baking bits for centers of eyes.

Oh, and here is a cute idea for all the football fans. I know Hungry Hubby loves football and cupcakes, so I think he would really like these treats:



TOUCHDOWN TREATS:
Ingredients:
A cooled cupcake (baked from your favorite recipe)
Green and white frosting
Fruit leather
Pretzel stick
Chocolate-covered almond
Directions:
1. Frost a cooled cupcake (baked from your favorite recipe) with green frosting, then mark the yard lines with white decorators' gel.

2. For a pennant, wrap a fruit leather triangle around a pretzel stick and plant it in the field as shown.

3. Set a chocolate-covered almond or brown almond M&M football topped with white decorators' gel laces on the field, and you're sure to score points with your favorite sports fans(http://jas.familyfun.go.com/recipefinder/display?id=40992).
I think this is a really cute idea which can be modified and made in your own creative way.
