Turducken Week – Cherpumple pie cake and vegetarian turducken

You know….CHERry, PUMpkin, and apPLE pies stuffed inside a cake. Just what you always wanted and didn’t know it, huh?

One of these days, I’ll have to make one of these, too. I don’t know how they managed to keep it from sinking, but apparently it held its shape through the 4 hour serving window. And just in case you were wondering how this measures up with the other turducken varieties this week, it weighs in at almost 22 pounds and served 200 guests.

There are a bunch of other cherpumple submissions, too, so be sure to check them out.

And just in case you’re looking for more PETA-friendly turducken alternatives, this one is probably right up your alley:

Frosty the snowman cake tutorial with chocolate chips, marshmallows, smarties, candy cane scarf

Leftover Halloween candy makes the best cake decorations.

It started with this cake pan….

Wilton Smiling Snowman Cake Pan - Gumdrop and pretzel pipe, candy corn nose, charcoal buttons

And led to all sorts of creative decisions over what might work for each item needed.

I had no idea candy canes would sort of melt when you attempt to crush them up, but it added a really nice touch for the scarf. This is really the only part I helped with other than the occasional tip on how to get the icing smoother or agreeing that this or that candy would work great.

This was from last year, so I don’t actually remember whose idea was which or what exactly was used. I assumed it was a pretzel stick for the pipe, but nope, upon further inspection, it’s actually a cinnamon stick, hehe.

So intent. And all working together! Impossible….must be photoshopped. :P

From December 2009.

Nablopomo – Family picture

I don’t have just a single family portrait on hand, so I opted to pull some pictures that were currently on my computer. Not everybody is shown and some are shown more than once, but
