Each turkey tail is made with 2 slices of apple, one is cut with a round scalloped circle cutter, the other with a daisy fondant cutter. It is decorated with goji berries and pumpkin seeds.
The orange is a slice of (my very first!) persimmon, cut with a flower fondant cutter.
The body is 1/2 a dried fig, with sesame seed eyes, a sunflower seed beak, and 1/2 a goji berry waddle.
It looks cute on top of a cake, making it special for Thanksgiving.
The cake is inspired by this lovely cake by Susan Powers of Rawmazing. I added my cinnamon glazed pecans in place of cranberries:)
This is a version of the turkey made with dried fruit. I topped a breakfast cookie pop , but a round brownie, or your favorite cookie would make a nice base, or just enjoy it "as is". The dried fruit was added after the pops were dehydrated. A gentle press makes everything stick to the pop. If your fruit is very dry, you can mist it with a bit of water to make it sticky.
This one is made with pineapple for the tail, with a fig body decorated as above, and pecans, berries, and feathers cut from dried mango to decorate the tail. A smaller one would be cute on cupcakes:)
