Some days I wake up in the morning and think I am Blake Lively.

However, I am quickly reminded that I am not… When I turn over, trying to grab for Ryan Reynolds’ man boobs… Only to embrace… Filbert.

I’m not the only one who sometimes thinks they’re something they’re actually not…

And this over-sized rat thinks it’s a turkey! Someone grab the gravy!

Hmmm… Thanks Vianessa but… I don’t think that’s gravy.

Yeah, WTF is that?!

Glad you asked! It’s actually squash trying to be a doughnut and a doughnut trying to be… A TURKEY!

Turkey Shaped Squash Donut, Gluten Free, Sugar Free, Soy Free, Nut Free, Vegan

Man, being a turkey must be pretty finger-licking good (oh wait, that’s chicken) because everyone/thing seems to want to be one!

Well, I DON’T want to be one… I just want to eat one… Or food that’s shaped like one… And you will too! Which is WHY Vianessa and I created squash doughnuts that are shaped like turkeys… Or what we like to call: Identity Crisis Cake Doughnuts!

Vegans will feel like they’re eating an animal without actually eating an animal… What UPLOOPHOLE! (these doughnuts are vegan).
