This super-fun turkey cake looks like it might have come from a bakery — but it actually only requires one cake layer and the piping technique is very forgiving (turkey feathers come in all shapes and sizes, after all!). Here's how to make it for your festivities — get the full instructions in the recipe.

This cake is as colorfulinside as it is outside! Divide the cake batter between three bowls. Tint each bowl with food color so that you have a red bowl of batter, an orange bowl and a yellow bowl.

Alternating between colors, pour the batter scoop-by-scoop into a greased 8-inch cake pan. Swirl the colors together using a skewer or a butter knife.

Bake the cake according to the recipe's instructions. Allow it cool, and then level it off using a cake leveler or a serrated knife.
