You madam are a godsend! My 4 year is very adamant about a sea turtle birthday cake and I wasn’t sure on how to start. Thank you a million times over! 🐢🐢🐢

Awww! I'm so glad it helped! ☺️

how much frosting and how much cake mix batter for this project, what was the overall length

[@happinesswithfrosting4700]

Hi! Unfortunately I don't have an answer to your question, because I don't weigh my frosting or cake batter. This cake was made on a full sheet cake board. The shell/body of the turtle was made with a 9", 8" and 6" cake stacked. If this helps give an idea of size. Thank you for watching! ❤️

Wish you showed how to make the eyes this cake is so beautiful

[@melissahoover5335]

Yes please how are the eyes done

[@melissahoover5335]

Please how did you did the eyes?? Did you lay down black fondant then layer buttercream on top? Thank you. It’s awesome.

[@happinesswithfrosting4700]

Thank you! No, there's no fondant on the cake. It's all buttercream.
