Turkey Cake – Candy Filled Thanksgiving Dessert Fit for A Crowd

November 16, 2013 By This post may contain affiliate links.

Shock the world this Thanksgiving and make this realistic candy filled Turkey Cake. This 3D cake looks like the real deal and your guests will cry and applaud and scream encore when they cut into it and realize there’s candy corn inside!

Turkey Cake

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.

      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.
