Hi there,
I’m back again!
Yesterday, I posted a selection of cute Thanksgiving cakes. Today I’m going to post a compilation of several ways to make easy sugar turkeys to decorate your cakes or cupcakes this season. You’ll find the source under each image.
If making a buttercream turkey, you can pipe the buttercream feathers with different nozzles.
