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.
