Turkey Plea
Inspired by the Debbie Does Cake design, this poor turkey is not meeting his imminent demise with any grace. His adorable sign and goofy face make us almost actually feel guilty for eating him! Almost.
DIY Turkey Cake
You have to give her props! Melissa Diamond of My Cake School offers Thanksgiving hosts a way to decorate their cakes just like theirs with this amazingly simple tutorial!
Scared Turkey
This poor bird, while artfully crafted, looks unbelievably afraid in this Thanksgiving cake. We can't blame him — we are eating his cousin for dinner and him later for dessert!
Turkey Pop
If you are too stuffed from turkey dinner to even think about dessert, this adorable pop is for you! Big City Pops pulled off a cute cake pop shaped like a turkey that won't tip the scale too much!
Kinds of Gratitude

Aw, Nuts!
From the birds in the sky to the squirrels in the trees, we are so thankful that a cake this cute exists! Jacques European Pastries did an excellent job of giving this edible squirrel something to be thankful for.
Give Thanks

Cornucopia Cake
A symbol of Thanksgiving and of a plentiful harvest, this cake is so pretty it could be the centerpiece of your dessert bar this holiday season!
Haystack Holiday
Though we prefer our turkey atop a silver platter, for dessert we will happily take it upon a masterfully crafted haystack. The details in this cake are utterly exquisite and perfectly capture fall and Thanksgiving in one piece.
Pilgrims and Indians
OK, we'll just come out and say it: it looks like these two are up to no good. Whatever they are doing in that teepee, we can appreciate a nod to the first Thanksgiving and the cute craftsmanship.
