it is a turkey cake! created by English cake artist Sarah Hardy, using her experience as a wax sculpture artist, Hardy is able to mold layers of sponge cake, chocolate and sugar or marzipan icing into all kinds of realistic designs, from human organs to birds and frogs, Sarah has been making her eerily-realistic raw turkey cake for at least four years now, and she even has a tutorial on how to make one yourself on her official website, 

Sarah’s amazing turkey cakes has a sponge and buttercream base, with smaller pieces “glued” on with cream to highlight the wings and drumsticks. Once the general shape is completed, the artist attaches dozens of marzipan bits to create the plucked skin effect once the thin layer of marzipan icing is added. Finally, the expert cake artist uses fine tools to shape the marzipan “skin” perfectly, using food dye to add more fine details, You can find more of Sarah Hardy’s edible wonders on her Instagram, The Edible Museum, can you imagine the look on your guests faces when you wheel this turkey cake in as the dessert?
