Turtle Cake

Mix Butter Cream Icing with green coloring and a tad bit of red for a 'turtle' color.

Place an 8" round cake on a 10" cake with some icing in the middle.

Using a serrated knife, cut both layers at an angle...

so the sides taper downward.

Using 3 cupcakes, cut 2 of them in half from top to bottom, not side to side.
Place these for the feet. Use a whole cupcake for the head.

Ice them and hot knife.
With a greenish brown icing pipe out his shell.

Use the 21 shell tip to make his claws.

Happy Birthday Cullen!
