Tortuga Cake Tutorial
Do you remember my grandson's Wild Kratt's Jungle Birthday extravaganza?
It was a fabulous birthday party filled with all kinds of amazing decorations, games and a super cool looking Tortuga cake!
My daughter Emily baked the main part of the cake in oven safe domed bowl so it would take on the shape of a turtle. Then she also made some cupcakes that would be the legs and head of the turtle. Simply remove the paper liners and frost.
He was one happy "Wild Kratt" :)
We took so many pictures of this birthday party I think I need to make a fun jungle theme photo book on Shutterfly with all these pics so he can remember this special birthday for years to come!
