(I&#8217;m not sure whether this is a good or a bad thing, mind you.)  So when she suggested making turkey cakes for Thanksgiving, well I just jumped at the chance to learn how to use a star tip!<\/p>\n<p>So, what do you think?  My family thought it was totally hysterical that the turkey was sitting in a roasting pan, especially since I brought it in all covered with foil.  Most people were afraid to cut a piece off, but they must have enjoyed it, because when we went back to my grandmother&#8217;s house for leftovers this evening the cake was nearly gone!<\/p>\n<p>Denis thought I was nuts, though, because in addition to the cake I baked four pumpkin pies &#8211; per my grandmother&#8217;s request.  (After all, there were almost 30 people there.)  But three of those pies are completely gone, so we all managed to do our part!  I&#8217;ll admit here on the internet that I totally cheated on the pies, too.  I normally make pie crust from scratch, but the thought of making four pies worth of crust was not really all that appealing&#8230;so I bought Mrs. Smith&#8217;s frozen crusts.  They were tasty.  Tasty enough that I might just not bother making pie crusts ever again.<\/p>\n<p>After all, who has time to make a cake and turn out perfect pie crusts too?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lisa has hooked me into making fancy cakes for various occasions.
