cosmopsis: Fallingandlaughing must have picked up on my penchant for mildly incredibly disturbing things, as evidenced by this photo he sent me of these turkey cakes in his neighborhood bakery. In case you do not understand, those are cakes. Shaped like turkeys. Some things we have said about these terrifying little treats in the past 24 hours: Him: I’ve been really horrified and fascinated with them for the past couple weeks, they confuse me.Me: Simply cannot get over those turkey cakes. Him: I’m not sure if it’s clear in the photo I sent, but those cubes coming out of the turkey cake’s back orifice are little pieces of brown and yellow cake made to look like stuffing. Sick. I wonder if the cakes come with some weird syrup gravy. I should make an inquiry. Me: They’re so cute yet so…disturbing. Imagine cutting into it? Or biting into it? How gross would it be if the color of the cake was like a pale pink?Me: I am still freaking out about these turkey cakes. Sooooo funny. They just look so…little and gross. I want to stick my hands in them and then cry. As an update, the latest line of disturbing inquiry into these horrifying turkeycakes: What if there were like… a little packet right under the frosting… and when you cut into the cake, it released a puff of hot turkey-aroma-scented steam?
