Ok I thought I would try and make the Roasted Turkey Cake. Once a month I make the cakes for our office for birthdays. This month of course was a Thanksgiving theme. I think I did an ok job for my first try : ). The veggies are made of fondant.

Wonderful.....how did you do the color on the turkey and make it look so textured?

gingoreilly 11/15/05 at 10:55am

Thank you! I just used a paper towel and made the texture. I don't have an airbrush so I used a can of orange wilton color first. Then I did a coat of black to make the turkey brown.

Thanks! I know I have wanted to try one of these for a while, and really didn't have an opportunity. So when my office asked me to do a cake for November birthdays, I thought perfect. They were shocked when they saw it! No one wanted to cut it.
