Turtle Cake

I usually don't post my cakes and cookies over here because I don't do tutorials for them or anything.  All that stuff is posted on my other blog www.sweetshoppeblog.com

My friend Lynette asked me if I could make a turtle shaped cake for a baby shower that she was co hosting for her sister.  "Sure" I said.  I'd never made a turtle cake before.

This is what I came up with:

 
I made the turtle's body by using a sports ball cake pan.  The head and legs were made with some cake that I just pressed together with a small amount of frosting (almost like making a cake pop)  The hat is a fondant covered ice cream cone.  I put the little guy on top of a buttercream frosted cake.
