Don't Be Fooled--This Isn't a Turkey

It's a cake.

1. I didn't plan on watching all of this, but I did! I was mesmerized with the idea

of a turkey cake. She did an amazing job.

2. She's quite the artist and baker.

3. Neither did I, but

I couldn't look away.

4. She did an amazing job ...

... but this is more a "how I made this" video, as opposed to a "how you can do this" video.

5. I'm not a cake fan but I wish I could ge my real turkey to come out that exact color.

It was an interesting video.

But the way I see it...

6. I want her kitchen.

I know it's a professional/studio kitchen, but still...to do the things I want to do, if I had time, I need that sort of space.

To work in a kitchen like that, I'd have to go to a big church kitchen or Department of Agriculture licensed commercial kitchen and rent some space, like the food trucks and farmer's market cooks do for their prep cooking.


I hate fondant, so I'm wondering if the "turkey skin" can be done in a royal frosting or in a meringue with perhaps a thin jelly or jam (apricot or marmalade) layer over instead. The stippling and shine would be hard to match, but the cake covering would be much more palatable, and I'd be able to get a bit more flavoring to the cake.
