First attempt at cake decorating.. Do you like?

That is a perfect cake for a 1st birthday. You don't have to worry about plates and utensils, just a trash bag for the cupcake liners.

Are you planning to give Tyler one of his own to play with/eat? Mimi had her own cupcake at her 1st birthday while the adults had sheet cake. I think the gooey icing thoroughly grossed her out because once she got it one her hands, she wouldn't use her hands for anything until we cleaned them up.

Great idea!! Very cute and well done on the decorating!!

I love it! It's so cute.
Was it hard to get the frosting on so smoothly over all the cupcakes?

[Lori Jordan]

That is awesome!!!!!

I think it looks great. I love how it's all cupcakes, just pull apart to eat, how easy & not as messy either.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Like everyone, I think it's adorable, and a fantastic idea!

And yes, I knew it was a turtle as soon as I saw it - which was before I saw that you told us it's a turtle.

What a clever idea. You did a great job, and I don't mind the pink icing at all.

thank you thank you thank you everyone You all make me feel so good
I can't take credit for the idea though! I found it in a cake decorating book that I picked up at the register of the grocery store. It was surprisingly easy to make! I just had to hold the edges of the cupcakes a little while I frosted the shell, but the frosting went on quite easily once I whipped it up a little bit.
One box of mix makes 24 cupcakes, so everyone is going to get the cupcakes Hopefully Tyler will enjoy it! He enjoyed the gooey texture of finger paint, so hopefully he'll enjoy the gooey texture of frosting

I sent hubby to work today with two turtles I don't want them in the house because I would eat them all up *giggle* Hubby said he's going to try to slip them into the conference room when no one is looking and deny that he has anything to do with them

[Ginger's Mom]

It's adorable. I called all of my co-workers over to look at it and they agreed. Very cute and clever.

[Daisy and Delilah]

It's just precious!! What a cute idea for the cute little guy
