Gobble, gobble, gobble. ? That?s what your company will do when served a tantalizing turkey fashioned from a Shell Pan-molded cookie, a Snowman Pan cake and perky piped-icing details.
Press cookie dough into greased Shell Pan; bake, remove from pan, and while warm divide cookie in half lengthwise; cool.
Step 2
On foil-covered board, position cookie pieces alongside cake. Pipe three Tip 18 scalloped outlines on cookie.
Step 3
Ice pumpkin area smooth; pipe Tip 2B band on hat; add Tip 4 string outline around collar and eyes; pipe-in Tip 5 eyes and Tip 4 eyeballs.
Step 4
Fill-in collar with Tip 18 stars; hat and turkey head with Tip 19 stars (overpipe eyebrow area) and add pull-out stars at forehead. Pipe Tip 12 hat buckle; add Tip 4 eyebrows and string bow.
Step 5
Pipe Tip 2 lines on pumpkin and print Tip 2 message. Using heavy pressure and Tip 1A, pipe an elongated ball of icing for stem. Pipe Tip 2 vines and Tip 352 leaves.
Step 6
Add beak and wattle: Using Tip 12 and heavy pressure, pipe a ball shape for bottom beak, tapering off the end as you gradually decrease pressure. Tuck tip into top and repeat, pulling out top beak. Using light pressure, pipe a line of icing alongside beak for wattle. Pipe Tip 352 pull-out wing feathers.

I made this cake for thanksgiving last year and will be making it again this year!! It was so much fun to do. I didnt use cookies i actually cut out feather shaped pieces of cake and decorated them with a star tip with fall colors. I cut out the pieces of each part of the cake and i put them all together at the end. Then i put all the finishing icing on to make him come together. It was a huge hit and the kids and family loved it!! Good luck and i hope this helps!!!

I did this cake on top of a sheet cake. you can't find the shell pan any more so I made the feathers out of fondant and tucked them behind the turkey. I also make his beak and his waddle out of fondant. It looked so much better than just using buttercream. It gave the cake a more 3-d look instead of looking so flat.
