I made this cake for Thanksgiving 2008. The body was chocolate cake with buttercream icing covered in chocolate fondant. The head was made from RCT covered the same way. I used food coloring and vodka to hand paint the feathers on the body. I used gumpaste for the tail feathers using the flat side of a butter knife to score the lines in them then handpainted them in the same method as above. The eyes, beak and waddle were also made with gumpaste. This was one of my favorite creations to date!
