Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Birthday


TMNT Birthday Party! 
This cake was so much fun to make! 


Our son had his birthday party in MS, so I worried that it was going to a bit stressful to make a cake after an 11hr drive and to make it in a place I'd never made a cake before and without a ton of my tools, etc because there was just no way to bring everything just in case. 
But, surprisingly it wasn't stressful at all. 
I chalk that up to this not being my first cake or second or third to create. 
It gave me a sense of confidence. 
I can do this. 
This is my creation- without ever having taken classes, and I am proud. 
I can see the mistakes, but in those I learn! 
Practice is making all the difference. 
And--Of course, I do have an awesome Meme who has given several pointers and advise-- all of which I needed and without them mister Leo might not be sitting there. 


"High 3!" 
The turtles only have 3 fingers.... ;) 



Up close pic of the mouth, which was definitely one of the parts I was kinda worried about.  
A mouth is quite important to a head as a whole, so it needed to good enough so as not to throw off the entire cake.  




After our sons birthday party in MS, we had another smaller party in MO. I definitely was not going to make another cake, but I thought of Ooze filled cupcakes! And since I just so happened to be in MS, I told Meme about my idea and lets just say she came to the rescue!
 We made watermelon flavored ooze in a matter of minutes! 
It worked out perfectly!
