Did you end up making it?  If so - post pics!

Re: **plaidfrogg** re: turkey cake

  • YES! And I've been meaning to come post an update, so thanks for prodding me. :)

    As a reminder, here is the cake I wanted to try to make:image 

    Looks easy enough, right??

    Though I don't really have cake skillz I felt I could likely pull this off. That is, until I tried to wrap my mind around making two thin layers of cake stand vertically....and how to attach the tail feathers w/o making the whole thing crumble.

    I'm convinced the site that posted that picture hired a teenage intern who's never baked even a cookie to write the directions to assemble the cake. Just made no sense, skipped steps, etc.

    I weighed the risk and decided on a Plan B: Turkey Cake laying down....

  • CUTE! And I don't think it loses any wow factor laying down... its a cake for goodness sake, how hard would it have been to cut standing up?

  • Looks great to me!

     

  • Awesome job!  I think it looks great.  I agree with sad -how would you cut it in pieces if it was standing up?  Doesn't seem logical!
  • How fun! Great job.
