ATTENTION EVERYONE, I TOTALLY MADE THIS CAKE!
(Can you tell that in my mind, I'm kind of a big deal right now?)
When Cullen told me that he wanted a Ninja Turtle cake, I did what any parent would: google image searched Ninja Turtle cakes until I found one that I thought I could replicate. With zero knowledge of cake decorating, unless you include countless hours spent watching Ace of Cakes and the cake testing for my wedding, I embarked on what I thought was sure to be a simple little cake.
Yo, I was wrong.
This thing was hard. It was heavy and time consuming, but totally worth it when Cullen exclaimed, "Mom, I love it!" (I swear, I didn't even make him say it.) It brings back fond memories of the time my Grandmother made me a Barbie cake for my birthday and it was awesome; the skirt was made of cake! Who wouldn't want a cake skirt?!
As I warned all of my family members, if you don't like it, lie to me. So on that sentiment, I will leave you with the cake from start to finish and the response I got from my sister after I emailed her pictures:
Megan- It looks really good
Me- Really or are you just saying that?? Because it took a lot of work!
Megan- Well you told me to lie; Just kidding, I think it looks good. I bet for the party it will look even better
Me- Uhm, let's not go making assumptions... I literally gave it all I got this time!
Megan- Well you'll need to give it 110% next time
