I am making a thanksgiving cake and need help.....?!
Answers: My sister's birthday is around thanksgiving so I am making a thanksgiving themed cake. I want to make a square bale of hay, but not actually put hay on the cake LOL. Maybe use uncooked spagetti noodles or something...any honest ideas?
A small square of Rice Krispie treat should be close enough - and tasty!
I would just stick with the turkey, that is enough work
Why not make a carrot cake and use long strips of carrot?
you could toast coconut and put that on it.
color some frosting with yellow food die,then run it through a sqeeze tube through a small hole.and make hay lines with the frosting on the top and sides
wow! if you get find some clover (hay comes from) to add for garnish and decoration...might a frosting be time consumingly decorated in yellow-green strips, resembling hay? ... good luck... great idea!
i would do long strips of frosting in a yellow color that looks like a hay bale. that is a cute idea!
... i was trying to think about something and you can do coconnut!
it looks like pale hay but hey put A FEW drops of yellow food coloring and BAM there you have your hay!
and the cake can be a pretty turkey

Use shredded wheat. You can make your hay bale as big as you need plus you can eat the leftovers for breakfast the day after...good luck!
use a harvest mix and use chinese noodles for the hay. Maybe you could decorate a sugar cookie like a indian.
OK how bout those chinese noodles .. The ones you buy in the rice section at the store i have also seen recipes for these things called haystacks they r pretty much those chinese noodles covered in like melted butterscotch poured over the top of them and just let them cool on like wax paper.. YOU can probably go to kraft or something and type in haystacks and the recipe should pop up.. It will be under like cookies.. Hope this helps
Try getting some brown are orange Licorice...if you look you can get different flavors.
Lay like hay.
How about coloring your icing, making it a little thick and pressing it thru a potatoe ricer. That would make great hay.
You might want to use shredded coconut. Use yellow food coloring in white frosting but don't mix it in completely. This will give you a color variation when you swirl it onto the cake. After you've frosted the cake, place a drop of yellow food coloring in a bag of shredded coconut and shake or stir until the coconut has the same mottled yellow appearance. Sprinkle the coconut on top of the frosting and around the sides of the cake, then stick a big ole' plastic tom turkey on top and surround him with candles. Bingo, you've got a thanksgiving-themed birthday cake.
If everyone in your family hates coconut, you could use Yellowstone carrots, which are actually yellow rather than orange. Using a grater, shred them, sprinkle them thickly on top of your cake then gently pat them around the sides. If you're interested in using Yellowstones and can't order them through your local grocery store, let me know. Double click on my Avatar and then click "send e-mail". My son-in-law is the head chef for a winery in Napa, CA, and he has the resources to obtain them.
Royal icing!!! it is easy to color and use and it dries perfectly and 100% edible
