How to Make an Easy Turkey-Shaped Cake for Thanksgiving

Turkey-shaped cake decorated with colorful frosting.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, and the belts are already loosening in preparation. Besides the copious amounts of turkey, stuffing, greens, and pies, you may have enough room for some classic cake.

Now, in the spirit of T-day, if you're a guest, you definitely want to show up to dinner with a badass turkey-themed cake like this one from Creative Cakes by Sharon.

In order to make this awesome cake, you'll need Thanksgiving themed frosting (brown, yellow, red, black, and orange), a circular 8-inch cake, and this template to help you get that turkey shape.

With the template printed out, you can begin cutting down your cake. The template is pretty much a stencil that will act as your guide for cutting the cake. Just place each portion in its designated area and slice.
