Turtle Power!

*Sings* Teenage mutant ninja turtles, teenage mutant ninja turtles, teenage mutant ninja turtles. Heroes in a half-shell, Turtle Power!

Okay yes. I grew up in the midst of Ninja Turtle Mania. My brother and I would fight wars against each other with our Ninja Turtles as soldiers. We owned several of the episodes on VHS, and the first two movies. We also have a Ninja Turtle cake pan and cookie cutters. Yes, even those!

And I just used the cake pan tonight for a birthday cake to take to Mom's work tomorrow. It's her birthday, as well as the birthday of another guy that works there. And hey, the cake was requested!



And that's my best shot at decorating it. Took me between three and four hours, and one of those extra-tall tubs of frosting, plenty of gel food coloring, and pre-colored black frosting. The cake itself is just a dark chocolate fudge cake out of a box, nothing special. And my cousin mentioned wanting one for her birthday next month... We'll see. :D
