Oh, and the cake stand is from Target! I thiiiiink that sums it up! Let me know if you have any other questions!!īoston needed to bring treats to class for his birthday so I found this tutorial on Pinterest and thought they looked easy enough. The little white stars are just white sprinkle beads you can find in the baking section at your grocery store. I pasted it all onto the cakes using buttercream. Sugar paper is incredibly easy to use which is why I opted for that over fondant. Then you can put them on your cake in the morning! For the TMNT Cake I used this Leonardo Action Figure and the black buildings and red brick are sugar paper I got from Michaels. You’ll use 50/50 gum paste and fondant, roll it out, cut the strips out how you want and then let them harden over night. You’ll need to make your fondant and then either make or buy some gum paste from Michael’s. I used this tutorial for the candy ice topper (one of my favorite parts!) and let me explain the strips of blue real fast. Make sure to read the bottom of this post if you need more info on how to freeze cakes and layer the cakes so they don’t fall in on each other! For the Frozen Cake I used this snowflake cutter and this Frozen play set from Amazon for the Anna and Elsa figures. I think I ended up making two and half batches of fondant but I could be wrong. The 3 bottom cakes are 9″ and I wrapped the whole cake with the blue fondant and the top 3 cakes are 6″ and I wrapped them with white. I used the Wilton food coloring gels for the dark blue and green on the TMNT side and the light blue on the Frozen side. I promise you - it’s the most delicious thing on earth! And if you hate fondant it’s most likely because you’ve never had home made. If you’ve never made fondant before it’s not as scary as it looks but be prepared to mess up a recipe or two before you get the texture perfect. I used these recipes for the cakes and buttercream and this tutorial and recipe for the fondant. I’m not going to get deep into a tutorial, if there’s an overwhelming response though I’ll be happy to dive in! For now though, I’ll just give you a few basics to get you started. It turned out more amazing than I had in my mind and when that happens it’s a total win! Behold, the Frozen and Ninja Turtle Birthday Cake – I wanted to give my kids each a cake that they would love separately but I wasn’t making more than one – ain’t nobody got time for that! So I scoured Pinterest (duh) and found a few different cakes I was inspired by and thought looked easy enough and came up with this. My kids have birthdays in the same week and naturally we celebrate them with family and friends on the same day.
