Giant Cake Pop Turkey

The idea went something like this. "We should make cake pops." "We should make them for Thanksgiving." "Let's make a giant cake pop shaped like a turkey."  Conclusion: my husband and I are weird.

Step 1 Bake Cake

This was our first time making cake pops, but I knew the basic concept.  We started by baking two different cakes, chocolate and vanilla (for dark and light meat).

This is an awesome idea but one question: is the cake very sweet or is it just like eating a normal cake?

[jchang8]

It is pretty sweet. I couldn't eat quite as much of this as I could normal cake.

To get a more realistic shape and texture, you could get a turkey mold, coat the inside with chocolate, then squish the cake stuff in after the chocolate cools.

After unmolding, make holes in the chocolate with a hot knife, and poke in the sticks.

If you are weird, the world needs more weirdness. Just sayin'. Awesome idea.

You may be a little weird but I prefer that over BORING. Great work!

Weird indeed.

Really cool! I would put a layer of German Chocolate frosting over it to mimic the color of a turkey. Wish I would have seen the recipe before Thanksgiving. Definitely making this next year.
