My goodness, that looks good enough to eat, and anybody who tastes it will probably expect turkey flavor, it looks so real. Janice

In the US we have a holiday called thanksgiving (i'll feel icon_redface.gif if you already know about this) and turkey is a must (mostly) for thanksgiving dinner so i would do a turkey cake because its cute, everyone will think thats the dinner instead of the dessert.

Trent i would have loved to see a pic before any frosting. How do you go about frosting? do you frost the body 1st then attach the legs & wings and then frost them? Did you do the mix of dark corn syrup and water for the color? I'm wondering how thats gonna taste, i was just thinking of using brown frosting, wouldnt that work too? sorry for so many questions but these things got me puzzled a bit.

actually the syrup is quit good..syrup also seal in flavor and thats what i mainly used for the dressing.... . For me i actually did both crumbcoat then went back and attached the wing and leg with the cone....before I could not see it..but when u frost the cake, it really does all come 2gether...its alot easier that what u might think..

thank you trent, did you use a filling in your cake? i would definitely want to. Also did you just attach the legs & wings with frosting or did you use a dowel or something else? I want to use whipped cream buttercream frosting and i'm not sure that will hold up the limbs. Oh and did you just spray your syrup water combo with a spray bottle?
