Will a football pan work instead of an egg pan? I just bought the football pan the other day. Thanks!
What flavors are you guys using to make this cake? I think I want something autumny. Any ideas??
Thankyou MrsMissy for this. I just made my first turkey cake tonight. I used chocolate for the 9x13 and white cake for the egg pan. That way everyone gets white and dark "meat" LOL. I also used rice crispy treats to form the bones in the drum sticks. That way its all edible and I don't have to worry about getting any pieces back at the end of it all. I'll try to post a pic later, but I wanted to say thanks.
not sure my skills are in your league, but thanks for sharing your directions. your cake looks yummy!!
Been wanting to make this since I saw it 3 years ago. Made one yesterday with the football pan. Couldn't seem to get the shape right. My husband said I should have put the wider end at the "stuffing" end. I think next time I will make it with the egg pan.
MrsMissy have you gotten a "formula" for the "wet look" yet. I can't seem to get it right, it's either too thin or too thick. Thanks for the tutorial, you made it clear and simple.
I'm such a "visual" type, I need to SEE instructions. It would be so much fun to see a video of you making it..... "in your spare time of course!!"
I know ...... ha ha ha. NO spare time for you. Thank you for the providing the recipe/instructions. ps --- ??? re the drumsticks "hollow dowels", what do they look like, they seem so much bigger than the dowels I have seen in the stores. I would appreciate it if you could provide a link to their photo.
Partysafe, here is a link to the plastic dowel rods I used on my turkey.

I just found this thread (thank Doug!) and I'm so grateful someone did a tutorial on this turkey cake -- I've always wondered how they were done. Thanks for posting!

That's is how I found it too, I guess It will work for next year, never too late.
is there a way to save this post to my favorites so I can find it again? I woudl LOVE to make a turkey cake for Thanksgiving this year!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it! Going to try and make it for teacher appreciation!
I just wanted to add my thanks to this post. I was able to make my turkey cake this past Thanksgiving thanks to all the great instructions here on CC. I ended up using a 9 inch heart pan for the top because I didn't have the football or egg pan and I think it worked pretty well.

Thanks again.
Thank you so much for the instructions! I may try one of these this year. Good reason to get my airbrush!
Here is the turkey cake we made last year. The legs and wings are made from brownies smushed up like cake balls and then formed into the shapes. The stuffing is white cake torn up with caramel sauce for the gravy.
