Thanksgiving Turkey

Here's the Thanksgiving turkey we partook of yesterday...



Good looking guy huh?!? Although he lived a short life it was a good one. Matt named him Terrance and he took me between 10 and 12 hours to create, so if you wonder why cakes cost so much, that's why. I'll give you more details on his creation if you want, but all I have to say is that tail threw me for a loop, but in the end it turned out great thanks to our great friend Peter's Ultra dipping chocolate (so glad I picked up some while I was in UT)!

Here's a photo of the slaughter... he was delicious, spice cake with cranberry-orange filling, buttercream icing and hot cocoa flavored fondant (which was way better than even the plain marshmallow fondant, which is pretty good in and of itself...).

And here's the mess he created in my kitchen!

I hope you all had a safe and delicious Turkey Day! I'll post more on our eventful T-day on another post.

Holy crap!!! CUTE!!! We can't believe you made this cake!!! Your next 2 cakes are going to need to be one year old cakes for Linc and Stella!

Start thinking of ideas! We missed you for our big meal the turkey was SO yummy!
