Teenage mutant ninja turtle cake

I was recently asked to make a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Cake for the cutest 3 and 4 year old brothers ever! They sent pictures of some cake styles they liked so I recreated one and added a few things.
Now, I just adore ninja turtles. They were one of my favorites as a kid and my own children love them today so, of course I was excited to make a TMNT cake!

The cake itself is a milk chocolate double layer covered with tinted green (wilton gel in leaf green) vanilla buttercream and all the appliqués are edible and made from fondant.

The “heads” are rice crispies treats shaped and covered with fondant… I’m still Very new to the world of fondant. 😳
I’m a perfectionist so I see my own inadequacies in the use of fondant, but my 3 year-old says its Super-Awesome. 🙂 therefore, I am satisfied.

Happy Birthday Jovani and Jayden!
