Turtle Crossing
This was a birthday cake for my Mother who "Brakes for Turtles." The body is a cake baked in a pyrex bowl. The legs are made from egg shaped cakes cut in half. It is decorated with buttercream. The head and tail are fondant.

Spectacular! What an awesome job! And now that you've mastered turtle heads, you should move on to ET!
Great job! I love turtles..and I also "brake" for them (stopped traffic to get one a couple years ago)Very cute!
I love how you texturized the shell, and the details on the head...Any how to's comming our way?
Amazing, look's awesome.
Aha! The source of controversy...Well, I went to an art store and had a silk screen done, which is basically a "cloth" stencil, the same kind that is used to print logos on T-Shirts...Thanks so much for sharing your tips ;-) I just realized what it was when I looked at the picture again today...
ok... being my nickname is Turtleshell..... I LOVE THIS CAKE!!!!!!! WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!! GREAT JOB!!!! PLEASE BRAKE FOR TURTLES!!!
WOW! Great job!
Wow Wee! That is fantastic Lisa!! I love it! I like turtles too, but not the snappers that'll chase you across the yard.
Thanks all! The shell is piped on using a star tip and a spatula-striped bag (black, green, brown). When it set, I gently flattened it with a Viva p.t. The head I scored with a knife and then painted with green and black (watered down) until it looked "real." Funny thing...this cake was a red velvet--too real for my tastes but that's what Mom wanted. Okay Godiva, now you have to share how you did the lettering on your Bible cake :wink: .
That is amazing!!! Thank you for explaining it (above).
I love this. I would love to use your idea for a 8 year olds bday if you don't mind. If you can email me any info to help such as size bowl, how the legs are placed. how you supported the head etc. I would be forever grateful. Thanks Debbie [email protected]
beautiful!
wow!
SUPER- EXCELLENT JOB!!!!! :-)
It's just incredible!! How DID you support the head?
Thanks for the kind comments! The head is made from fondant that has been shaped around a dowel to support it.
This cake is so neat I can't wait to try it for my daughter thanks for sharing
Oh how cute!!! I just love this one !! and yes, I'd brake for a turtle too lol

Beautiful, so much so that my turtle lovin' kid wouldn't want to eat it. He'd want to hug it!
Hmmm, I thought we were't supposed to post pictures that weren't cake. I mean, it's obvious that this is a REAL turtle! :lol: Honestly, you'd have fooled most people with this one. It's amazing!

This cake is sooooo adorable! I love turtles my 18 month old loves to watch them when we go to the zoo or aquarium. I love your idea! Thanks for sharing how you made it. :)
I love this! I tried to do a turtle a few years ago and he didn't turn out nearly as good.
Very cute! I love it. It remindes me of the Comcast comercial with the "Slowski" turtles. Great Job! It made me smile! :D
So cute!
awwww....i just wanna kiss his little wrinkled head! incredible job!!!
That is way to cool! ;-D
I bet you could do a great ET!! Nice job. :detective:
This amazes me every time I see it. I just noticed the double yellow line on the "road" too. I agree wit Ree1, this head bigger would make a great ET!
. . . S . . . W . . . E . . . E . . . T . . . :D . . . I love everything about it
This is adorable. great job

great cake! I also brake for turtles. I rescued one from the hiway a couple of years ago in extreme rush and didn't realize until it was in my car that it was a snapping turtle. oops
Outstanding.
I had to ckick on it to make sure that it wasn't real. WOW!!!!
