I think I'll go with "horrified" to describe my reaction. Too many flavors in one place, with nary an opportunity to take a palate-cleansing sip of drink in between them for a refresher. That plus it seems like a mean trick... "ooh, cake!" Except, no, not cake....

Though I suppose the turkey meatloaf part of it might be a good holiday idea for anyone who has trouble chewing.

It looks like congealed puke. And the "turkey layer" ingredients sound revolting, and this is aside from my dislike of sweet potatoes, most mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce as well as a firm opinion that turkey should always be enjoyed as the sinewy muscley goodness that it actually is.

Wow. If that hasn't already been features on Cakewrecks, it should be. Apparently it's a thing now to make cakes that look like other food, and vice versa.

(I will freely admit to having considered making meatloaf cupcakes with mashed potato frosting and bringing them to my office on April Fools Day.)
