To make it, you will need the following supplies:
Brown modeling chocolate
Red fondant
Orange fondant
Yellow fondant
Black fondant
Round sprinkles
Toothpick or wooden skewer (or you can even use a spaghetti strand)
Scalloped cutter
Small leaf cutter
Small star cutter
Rolling pin
Knife
Paintbrush and water
Black edible marker
And here are the steps:
Step 1:
Start off by rolling a small ball of modeling chocolate. Also, roll a slightly bigger ball of modeling chocolate.
Step 2:
Stick a toothpick or wooden skewer or even a spaghetti strand into the big ball.
Step 3:
Push the smaller ball on top.
Step 4:
Make sure it’s securely in place. And you have a turkey’s body.
Step 5:
Roll out some yellow fondant now and use a scalloped cutter to cut out a piece.
Step 6:
Also, use a star cutter to cut out 2 pieces.
Step 7:
Now, roll out some orange fondant and use a scalloped cutter to cut out a piece.
Step 8:
Roll out some red fondant and cut out another scalloped piece.
Step 9:
Brush some water on the base of the orange piece. Stick the red piece here.
Step 10:
Brush some water on the base on the red piece and stick the yellow piece here. These will be the turkey’s feathers.
Step 11:
Let’s assemble everything now… Brush some water on the star pieces. Place your turkey’s body on top and stick it into place.
Step 12:
Brush some water on the turkey’s backside and stick the feather piece here. Brush some water on the sides to make sure it sticks properly.
Step 13:
Bend the feathers back a little. And your turkey now has feathers.
Step 14:
Next, roll out little sausage shapes of red, orange and yellow fondant. Place them close together. And start rolling them together into a spiral
Roll them a few times again randomly.
Step 15:
Use a rolling pin to flatten this piece.
Step 16:
Use a leaf cutter to cut out 2 leaf shapes. These will be the turkey’s wings.
Step 17:
Brush some water on the sides of the body. And stick the wings here.
Step 18:
Now, draw eyeballs on 2 round sprinkles. These will be the turkey’s eyes.
Step 19:
Brush some water and stick them into place. And your turkey can see now.
Step 20:
To make the beak, flatten a small piece of yellow fondant. Use a knife to cut a small diamond shape. Fold it in half with the help of a knife.
Step 21:
Brush some water and stick it into place. Use a knife to help out.
Step 22:
To make the little red thing around a turkey’s beak, make a small sausage shape out of red fondant and stick it into place. Use a knife to help out.
And your turkey is ready!
You can even make a little pilgrim hat for your turkey, if you like.
Well, I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.
Happy caking everyone!
