I made this turkey cake for a thanksgiving party. My goal was to make a cake that looked like a real cooked turkey. It turned out fabulous. It had a lot of rough spots but I think that it actually made the cake look more realistic.
For the cake inside I did a vanilla cake with vanilla frosting and used rice krispie treats for the legs and used toffee crunched up to make it look like seasonings. A lot of people thought it was a real turkey and didn’t want to cut into till one of the people who were throwing the party did.
We had to cut a piece so people could tell that it was cake. Me and my now 3 year old son stayed up till 1 making it. He likes to help me. I had a blast with this cake and will definitely make it again. I used leftover cake pieces that I cut off of the cake to shape and cut that into squares and sprayed food coloring on it to make it look like stuffing.
that is the greatest cake! it looks SO real! I LOVE IT!
That is the most amazing, festive cake I have every seen! You are the woman! Gobble, Gobble!
This looks so real!You did an excellent job.
I’m dying to make a turkey cake like that this year, but am a lil afraid! How do I get that perfect color? You used fondant, right? Thanks girl.
I thought from the picture that it was a real turkey too! The stuffing looks real with the accurate colors

This cake is toooo cool! love it and Ive been looking for examples of turkey cake so I can try one. I’m just curious if you used fondant? My family doesn’t like fondant, so I’m nervous about just using buttercream.
This looks amazing! What color did color did you use?
