These guys have been around a long time and are still quite popular.
Brandon's friend Cam is turning 5 and is in his TMNT phase right now.
Cupcakes have been very popular this year so for the party his Mom and I decided on cupcakes with a small 6 inch cake to top the cupcake tower.
To make the Ninja turtle face I printed out this turtle face and made a template.
I cut it out and used clear packing tape to reinforce it.
I would need to use it at least 12 times and I didn't want the paper to get sticky or damaged.
I rolled out a mix of green fondant and gumpaste to 1/4 inch and with an Exacto knife cut out 12 turtles.
I rolled out black fondant and cut out mouths with the open end of a 1M tip. I cut each circle in 1/2 and used 1/2 circle per turtle.
Next I made the impressions for their mouth and nose before my fondant got too stiff. I used an oval cutter to make these imprints.
At the ends of the mouth imprint I used the open end of a decorating tip to add detail.
We are gettin' there...
Next I cut the mask out of my template to use to make the turtles masks.
I had to google it but I found that I needed red, orange, blue , and purple masks to cover all of the turtles.
I rolled out fondant in each color and with my exacto knife cut out masks for each turtle.
I used my smallest Wilton leaf cutter to make the " tie" in the back.
Use the open end of a large tip to cut off the bottoms in a semi-circle.
Attach everything with a dab of water.
Last are the eyes.
Roll out some white fondant.
I used my Atecco rain drop mini cutter for this part.
After cutting them out I cut off each tip to a flat edge.
Attach.
Startin' to look like some Ninja Turtles now...
I rolled out some black fondant and with my drinking straw cut out a bunch of circles. Two per turtle to be exact.
Have fun with these, where you position the pupils really gives the turtle some character. I chose three positions, one kind of cross eyed, one looking straight ahead and one looking to the side.

I rolled out come red fondant to finish off the mouth.
With the open end of a smaller tip I cut circles and cut those in 1/2 and used 1/2 per turtle for a tongue.
