Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Cake Decorating

Type of item: Food

For: Children

Style: Cute


Materials

Strawberry cake, buttercream icing, fondant decorations

What was your inspiration?

My daughters best friend loves sea turtles ,and was turning 17, so she wanted me to make her a cake. She also loves bright colors so we decided to have so fun with it.

What are you most proud of?

I am so proud of the large turtle. It was the first time I tried a separate little cake on top. It turned out better than I thought it would.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Research real pictures of animals. I find it gives me better references.

Really looks good. Hubby is wildlife biologist and he thought it was very realistic. I agree that research w/photos helps with the accuracy. I really like your cake.
