I was planning what I was going to do for the holidays and decided that I want to make a cake that looked like a carved turkey. I have never carved a cake so I was hoping that all of you could help me. Thanks in advance.
I'm all about 3D cakes, so I just thought you should know...
Williams and Sonoma sells (online ONLY) a 3D turkey cake pan. It is SO detailed, and looks AWESOME!!!!! You just bake both halves, then place them together. I'm totally getting one! Hope this helps

for the body, use one half of the egg pan, and carve a slit down the back to give it a natural curve look. carve out the "cavity" on the other side.
for the legs, use mini egg shaped cakes (got my pans cheap on ebay- or you can simply carve these shapes). the wings were rolled buttercream (basically with more sugar) and shaped. the drumsticks were pretzel sticks covered in thick rolled royal icing. use a crusting buttercream. color it brown. spritz it with brown color mixed with water and corn syrup and blot with a dot patterned paper towel for skin texture. place on a bed of lettuce, parsley or berries/veggies.
viola!
