Cake ball turkeys. You read that right. They're turkeys made from cake and chocolate and lots and lots of free time.

I always think these kinds of things can be made easily and quickly. Not so much. Steps involve:

1. Bake cake.
2. Cool cake overnight.
3. Mix crumbled cake with can of frosting.
4. Form in to small balls, takes about an hour (I used store mix red velvet cake, with red 40... my hands are still red!).
5. Freeze cake balls so they don't fall apart.
6. Make chocolate base, add balls to bases.
7. Freeze.
8. Dip tops in chocolate.
9. Freeze.
10. Make turkey parts (not so hard unless the squeeze bottles keep clogging. And you can only make 8 parts at a time. And you have to freeze between batches.)
11. Put turkey parts on balls.

I would say all told, these damn things took 8 hours and I only made 16 of them in to turkeys. The rest are just "cupcakes". They're cute, though, right?

Some of them turned out a little funky because I put the heads on backwards....
And a view from the inside (they're as tasty as they look, I promise!)
