Our surprise dish - the turkey cake!

We were shopping in Williams Sonoma this week and saw that the turkey cake pan was on sale, as well as the vanilla spice quick bread cake that went with it. Here it is, step by step...

The Pan


Cool on wire rack


Trim off excess cake.


Spread icing on one half.


Place one half on top of the other and refrigerate for 30 min.


Tip cake out of pan and admire...notice ours didn't completely come together perfectly.


Decorate to hide center gap and look like a colorful turkey. (We would have just dusted with powdered sugar had it come out okay straight from the pan.)

Tah dah!!! No laughs please. It looks really ugly in the picture, but in person it was so cute! The flash makes it look way too shiny. It really looked like a turkey with colored feathers and beak.


Plus, the flavor of the cake was really good!
