Raw Turkey Cake by Sarah Hardy

turkeycake

We normally associate hyperrealism with the art technique, but can now also apply the term to baked goods.  At a family Christmas gathering, London based Baker Sarah Hardy presented an orange and rum spiced cake cleverly masked with marzipan to resemble a raw turkey.  The reaction (pre and post-carving) as anticipated made the one day effort worthwhile.  For patrons of Sarah Hardy Cakes, this creation will go commercial starting next Christmas.

On a side note, doesn’t said “Raw turkey” cake resemble a Cantonese steamed chicken?
