Sunday Sweets: Let's Talk Turkey

Sunday, November 23, 2008

Debbie of Debbie Does Cakes was kind enough to share some Turkey love with us today. Check it out:

I love this guy. Not only is he gorgeously made, he's a comic gem. I mean, those bug-eyes are just crying out for a thought bubble, don't you think? So Debbie, for next time, here are some options for ya:

1) "Uh, guys? I was told this was more of a stag party..."
2) "Whoah, let's all just relax now, and how's about you put that knife down, eh?"
3) [on seeing the *other* turkey] "Mom?"

Ok, guys, your thoughts?

I think someone just told him what a "baster" is used for.

"They put the stuffing WHERE?!?!"

This bowtie is chafing my icing.

He is a very cute turkey - almost makes me want to become vegetarian for a day ... almost. Nice job, Debbie!

Hi Kooky said...

I think he just sat on one of those pointy acorns.

Unknown said...

I think he looks bloated after eating too much pumpkin pie! LOL!

Mari said...

Wow, I can't come up with anything snarky, he's just too cute!

I think he's cute - he'd be the only turkey on my table Thursday. :)

Finally, something colored brown that doesn't look like a pile of poo. It's a Christmas miracle!

That is amazing. I looked at the rest of the cakes on Flikr and I have never seen anything like them. Excellent work!

The Barnes Crew said...

Much cuter then the others!

"Um guys, I hear there is a made case of bird flu going around...you might not want to eat me!!"

I am a HUGE fan of Debbie Does Cakes -- she does amazing work! So glad to see her featured. Sorry I can't offer something more snarky; I think Sunday mornings steal the snark from me. :-)

Unknown said...

He is so cute! I like him.

Adorable turkey! But if you ask me, he's looking at the previous two days' Wreck turkeys and going "What the crap?" XD

Narrative Threads said...

Stay calm. Cover the tummy. Think thin.

Unknown said...

seriously. that is still not appetizing, although the potential thought bubbles are funny.

Wait...are those feathers made of FONDANT?! That's incredible (if true!)

"Whoa, I couldn't eat another thing, I am *STUFFED*!"

What do you MEAN that the book titled "Serving Turkeys" is a COOKBOOK???

Boozy Tooth said...

Honestly? he looks a little Play-Doh-y to me. Adorable just the same.

And I know nobody's going to beleive me, but my word verification is "pluct."

"Does that bowling pin that I swallowed make me look fat?"

LOL

Great cake!

Anonymous said...

I appreciate the artistry of it but it is not appetizing - only because it looks like it is made of a combination of tinted ceramics and rubber.

Hide the knives!!!

Kami said...

"Um, this doesn't look like the petting zoo ..."

Unknown said...

Eat Chicken! I wonder how much icing or fondant that took.

Jacque said...

Debbie is an amazing artist!
This little guy is just too cute to cut!

dizzy mom said...

I have a "giblet bag" where?!?

Anonymous said...

OMG...hope I will have the skills to be able to make a cake like this one day! :) At the moment, all I can aspire to are cakewrecks with my Noob decorating skills *LOL*

This is so cool!! I love it!!

Personally I thought it looked a little wreck-y, but I think that's more the fault of turkeys themselves looking weird :P

Oh thank god a normal turkey! I thought I was going to be vegetarian this Thanksgiving. lol

Is this my new "forever home"?

word verf: indera - dats my new turkey indera on da table

He looks scorched to me. I'd like him better if the airbrushing didn't look overdone.
Maybe he came out of the oven thinking, "I need some Visine!"

"You told me that was a sauna!"

When I said I liked stuffing, I meant to eat!"

Cute, but he still looks like a bloated deer tick!

No YOU bend over and I'll tell you where to put that stuffing....

This belongs on Suicide Food more than on Cake Wrecks...

This one is borderline wrecky to me. The general black-and-brown bloatedness of it all is REALLY unappetizing. :/

Missy said...

I totally mis-read that very first comment the first time. Let's just say, when I read it, "sitting" had an extra letter in it. I was like "of course it looks like he's 'sitting' - he's got poo underneath him!"

Then I re-read the comment. Oh, SITTING... lol

Anonymous said...

He looks burnt! Cute, but cooked. The airbrushing is a bit dark, otherwise, it is amazing.

I'm sorry--I LOVE LOVE LOVE this blog, but those jokes really aren't very funny.

Turkeys are some of the sweetest animals I've ever met. They sit on your lap and they love to chirp and be pet under their wings. They follow you around like dogs and respond to their names.

Frankly, I wouldn't wish the abuse they receive in farms on anybody.
