After seeing some of the just-for-fun cakes I've done for friends, I was asked if I could make this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cake based off of http://deliciouslydarlingevents.com/blog/ . I really wasn't sure if I could pull it off! Never had done a smash or petal cake nor had I really done much with fondant figures. But I was their last hope!

| Fondant heads almost done |
I began by making the fondant cake top a week or so in advance to allow time for it to harden enough to stand on the cake.
Fondant manhole cover. Sprayed with edible silver spray. I didn't like the flat plain look of it so I rubbed it with brown gel dye and a damp paper towel to give it a dirty look.
The finished turtle topper. Ready to go into the box for transporting.
I hadn't done this type of frosting before. After some trial and error I had it down.. I think! There are some things I will change when I use this technique again in the future. Overall, I am happy with the outcome of it.
