Illusory Meaty Desserts

Your Guests Will Leave Stuffed After Eating a Thanksgiving Turkey Cake

Trick your guests into thinking you have prepared two hearty turkeys with the Thanksgiving turkey cake.

After your guests already feel like going into a food coma after eating dinner, bring out this dessert and watch their eyes widen. After eating a hearty meal of turkey, potatoes, stuffing and more, the last thing they'd probably want to see is another turkey on the table. However, when they hear this one is sugary and sweet, they'll loosen their belts and be ready to try your festive dessert; it might be a good idea though to let guests relax and mingle before serving.

This Thanksgiving turkey cake is made out of three different cake mixes, covered in mouth-watering brown frosting and filled with as much candy as you see fit; it's definitely for someone with a sweet tooth.
