squirt happy turtlecakes



What You’ll Need
•
Cupcakes
•
Frosting
•
Sour Peach Gummi Rings candies
•
Gumdrop candies (red and green)
•
Spearmint Leaves candies
•
Mini chocolate chips
•
Wooden kitchen skewer or toothpick
How To Make It
  • 1
    Frost the cupcakes.
  • 2
    For each cupcake, slice off and discard the bottom half of a red gumdrop. Place the gumdrop top on the center of a Gummi Ring to create a turtle shell. Set the shell atop the cupcake, pressing down slightly to stick it in place.
  • 3
     
    For fins, slice a Spearmint Leaves candy in half. Then use an oval fondant cutter to cut each half into two pieces, as shown.
  • 4
     
    Use the outer pieces for the front fins and the inner pieces for the hind fins.
  • 5
    For the head, use a kitchen skewer or toothpick to poke eyeholes in the sides of a green gumdrop. Then press a mini chocolate chip into each hole, using a dab of white icing to help hold it in place. Set the head in place, again pressing down slightly so that it sticks to the frosting.
