I’m in love with this turkey cake I made for Tablespoon. He’s easy to make, delicious, and super cute.

It was pure agony to slice into him, but my 7 year old could wait no longer. Sorry Tom! To make this chocolate turkey cake, you don’t have to be an expert cake decorator. This is a perfect Thanksgiving cake for beginners.

some notes about this Thanksgiving dessert

To make this cake easy as can be, I used store-bought cake mix and frosting. You can of course use your favorite homemade recipes, too!

Don’t add more than three marshmallows to the lollipop sticks or they may be too heavy for the cake to hold.

how to make a chocolate turkey cake

Prepare a chocolate cake in an angel food pan and let cool.

Microwave store-bought chocolate frosting for 15 to 20 seconds until it’s of a pour-able consistency. Spoon over the cake and let set.

For the tail feathers, I use the same instructions for rainbow marshmallow kabobs. You’ll need 5 lollipop sticks topped with three marshmallows each in yellow, orange, and red.

To coat marshmallows in sprinkles, use a toothpick to dip a marshmallow in water, shake off excess, and then cover with yellow, orange, or red sprinkles. And let set to the touch.
