Everything from the pink, plucked skin, to the properly-proportioned wings and drumsticks was perfectly executed by English cake artist Sarah Hardy.<\/p>\n<p>Using her experience as a wax sculpture artist, Hardy is able to mold layers of sponge cake, chocolate and sugar or marzipan icing into all kinds of realistic designs, from human organs to birds and frogs.<\/p>\n<p>Sarah has been making her eerily-realistic raw turkey cake for at least four years now, and she even has a tutorial on how to make one yourself on her official website, but her unique creation only went viral this month, after being featured in a now viral video by Food Insider.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/1224889486407_768111981761.JPG\" alt=\"Turkey cake\"\/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/raw-turkey-cake2.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/raw-turkey-cake2.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/raw-turkey-cake2.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/raw-turkey-cake2.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>In the video, Sarah Hardy explains that she paid her way through art school by making wax figured for museums, but even though she enjoyed her work immensely, she didn\u2019t want to continue working with potentially dangerous chemicals after she became pregnant. Luckily once she started making cakes for her kids, she realized she could use the skills she developed as a wax sculptor to shape her cake into various designs.
