Shock your family this Thanksgiving and make this realistic candy-filled Turkey Cake. This 3D cake looks like the real deal and your guests will be so surprised when they cut into it and realize there's candy corn inside!
Surprise your family when you cut into this roasted turkey cake and candy corn comes spilling out onto the serving platter. This cake made from three Betty Crocker Cake mixes will serve a crowd.
Just be warned that you may have some infighting as people grab for a cake ball turkey leg. Others will want you to carve off some yellow cake turkey breast, and everyone is going to beg for some toasted cake stuffing complete with cake ball sausage.
You can find the step-by-step directions to make this Thanksgiving Turkey Cake filled with Candy Corn over at Tablespoon.com. I'd love for you to leave some comments over on the Tablespoon site if you like the cake I created for them.

Love this - totally fun!! I went to tablespoon.com and checked out the recipe you did and tried to leave a comment, but there were no hot-links to do so 🙁 This is a fabulous idea!
Judy @ Season of Sweets
How fun is that?!!! My family would get a real kick out of that 🙂 Even the "skin" looks so real!
Veronica Spriggs
Very creative I was wondering what you used to make the stuffing!
beth
Thanks, Veronica. I really wanted realistic looking stuffing so I added cake ball "sausage" to my toasted cake stuffing. I was really happy with how it turned out.

I totally get it, this cake was a lot of work!! I do appreciate you trying to leave a comment over at Tablespoon. They recently revamped their website, and they are having some issues.
