Thanks so much for the great pictures! The turkey does indeed look amazing!

About as far from a fail as one can get! They look great!

They turned out better than I expected! Like I said, it’s a good thing that popovers are closer to an omelet than a pastry, at least where I’m concerned.

Here to report back: the cake was absolutely delicious. It was an orange layer cake with 2 different types of buttercream (English and Italian, I think) on the light and dark meat sections, homemade cranberry sauce between the layers, and orange glaze overall.
Not too sweet, delectable. 5 stars.
Oh, she even warned us to be on the lookout for “bones,” the toothpicks used in construction. :joy:

(WKRP mentioned, of course.)

Hopefully she won’t get in trouble with the FAA. Dropping stuff from planes is usually frowned upon.

Crop duster, perhaps?

The cake was so well constructed.

You should try making Dutch babies. They’re pretty much the same thing, only baked in a big cast iron frying pan. One recipe I saw suggested using a blender to mix th’ ingredients, b/c batter needs to be that smooth.

Mom bought a food processor in the 80s, and it came with a recipe booklet which included the Dutch baby. The Dutch babies turned out so well I never had to wash any of the dishes, nor clean the food processor. tophat-biggrin

Sure do wish I could find that booklet - and my BF’s cast iron frying pan.
