Three Delicious Thanksgiving Cakes to Impress Your Guests

welcome back to had to cake it I've already had my Canadian Thanksgiving but American Thanksgiving is here so I wanted to share and talk about three of my favorite holiday cakes we'll call it holiday cakes I mean for you guys one holiday just rolls into the other it seems like it would just be a constant month of eating okay so first up we're going to start with probably one of the oldest and it's my fall Harvest Mega cake it is delicious it contains carrot cake sauteed apples sauteed plums caramel buttercream it is so good you should sauté whichever fruit is best at that time of year for you apples are always good cuz they're kind of in season all the time but plums peaches if you can get your hand on them and it's

just about sautéing the fruit till it's like caramelized and softened as if it was baked in a pie but it will still stand up inside of a cake yeah I put in the carrot cake in the book I did the crusted carrot cake any type of Saed fruit that you like a stone fruit preferably cuz that's a very full or apples caramel and then if you like nuts I think the addition of nuts is really delicious whether you want to put the nuts in the carrot cake or do some of my spice nuts and put them on top or around the side and if you don't want to make a whole layered cake cuz I understand there's some difficulty you can make it as a slab why not I love these flavors especially for fall cuz I always think of something that's a

little bit spicy carrot cake has a lot of delicious spices in it and then you know the fruit just adds something a I love different textures it says how to make a fall Harvest cake exclamation mark carrot cake caramel cinnamon buttercream and sauteed fruit there you go what I love about this cake is you can kind of make it ahead cuz you know you're so busy when it's a holiday you can bake the cake sauté your fruit you can make your buttercream way ahead and then the day of just assemble it and bring it to the party and you will be the best person there way better than bringing the turkey fall Harvest I'd say that's my number one suggestion but if you're adamant that pie has to be a part of

Thanksgiving or holiday then you can make my pumpkin pie cake this one's newer didn't I just make this last year delicious what is in this cake will blow your mind exclamation mark pumpkin pie cake Thanksgiving and holidays but there's no for Thanksgiving it just says pumpkin pie cake Thanksgiving and holidays this cake was delicious so a pumpkin cake but they were you did you try this one you think at my funeral you know when you go to funerals I play they show photos and like video home videos mine will just be like b-roll of how to cake it my life in cake I toasted the mering of the buttercream before I turned it into the buttercream it was delicious I brought a huge chunk of this pumpkin pie cake home for my son and

that day he had a friend over so I was like guys you want some cake and I cut two slices of cake his friend wolfed down the cake so fast he was like that's the best cake I've ever had in my life and then my son said oh do you want mine and he said don't you want it he was like eh she made a better cake last week oh my God can you believe that cake snob # cakes not okay so pumpkin cake toasted marshmallow buttercream spiced pumpkin seeds and then there were layers of pastry because there's pastry and pumpkin pie that built up the whole cake and then on top there was a whole pumpkin pie with toasted merine this cake was delicious I know pumpkin seeds sounds weird but I just wanted to do

something different and I've done so many cakes with nuts again is why you have to be very strategic in how you build it this cake wouldn't hold a lot of weight that's why it's not even as tall as a lot of my mega cakes MI okay we're going to take it way back in my family something I always make at the holidays is peacan pie cuz I love peacan pie so of course I've made a pean pie Mega this one is the old one how to make a pamp pie Mega cake exclamation mark top double dipped caramel apples and spiced nuts this cake was very tall I made deep dish pecan pies and then I layered them with chocolate cake so it was very rich and decadent and the newer version of this cake which I did as like

an extra to this book it's more like the peam pie cake it's um vanilla cake with chopped pecans inside and then all of the elements of a pean pie layer both are good um and to be honest just peai alone is delicious but then on top I dipped apples I dipped them in caramel and in chocolate and I think I put candy around the outside this cake was very tall this is a showpiece I would say out of the three of them this one is definitely something you'd put in the center of the table but again it's more about all three of these cakes it's more about the elements and how well they go together you can make it at any size you can make it less tall and easier to transport which is something I would suggest you know if

you're baking this at home after work or whatever you can make all the elements on different days and then on Thanksgiving just put it together right which is what I love about Mega cakes you can't do this with novelty cakes it's just like you start and then you race to the end if you're all into novelty cakes then you can just cake a turkey for Thanksgiving that's the least relaxing cake so guys let me know which one of these three cakes is your favorite if you'll be making any of them for Thanksgiving and maybe there's a pie I don't know about is there a pie I'm missing out on that I should include in a cake I bet you there is I bet you there's like some pie I've never even heard of tell us tell me and I will Kake it
