Vickys Ninja Turtle Pizza / Sewer Cake - Instructional

I wasn't going to post this as I didn't take photos of every single step like I usually do but I've been asked a few times and really, it was pretty straightforward. You can fill in the blanks quite easily. I actually started off with the intention of doing a number 8 shape as the twins were 8 this year but halfway through I changed my mind. If I had continued with that idea, I would have simply used the largest cookie cutter I had to cut a circle out of the middle of each layer before sandwiching them together with buttercream and probably would have used the cut outs as mini cakes or would have crumbed them, added a spoonful of buttercream to bind them and made them into quick truffles or cakepops. If I hadn't changed my mind at the last minute I would've planned this out more and probably made a better job of it!

Steps
- 1
Bake 4 x 8" rounds and cut out a piece from one so the other can fit snugly against it
- 2
Like this
- 3
Buttercream in between the join and across the top
- 4
Repeat the shape with the other 2 layers
- 5
Place on top of the coated layers, buttercream where they'll join together
- 6
Buttercream the top and sides - I chose yellow for my 'cheese pizza' simply adding yellow gel to my remaining plain buttercream. I attempted red like pizza sauce for the sides but I'd already dyed all the buttercream yellow so it came out an orangy pink. Lesson learned lol
- 7
Roll out some fondant in grey and cut to a 5 inch diameter circle. This will be for the sewer lid. You need 2 of these, one for the plain base the characters will sit on, the other needs decorating as follows
- 8
I used letter stamps and the tip of a butter knife to make the Teenage Murant Ninja Turtle logo and the sewer grate markings. I used offcuts and rolled into balls then flattened to look like screws, using the same knife made the flat head screw markings
- 9
For each turtle character roll out 3 fondant balls in green. The head is around 2 inches in diameter, the other 2 are around 1cm but judge by your own eye
- 10
Flatten the head slightly and use the butter knife to make the mouth shape. Flatten and pinch the 2 smaller balls and press into the head piece. Use the knife to mark out fingers
- 11
One turtle will not have his hands on show - this turtle is made of 2 of the larger 2 inch sized balls instead as the other larger ball will be the base the others are joined around. Think of him as a green snowman!
- 12
For each turtle cut a strip on fondant for the eye mask. The colours needed are red, blue, yellow and purple
- 13
Wrap around the head like so
- 14
Use more red to cut out 'pepperoni' slices
- 15
Place the 'snowman' turtle towards the centre back of the plain grey circle. Build the other 3 around him as shown
- 16
Pipe on white icing for eyes and dot with black
- 17
Rest the sewer lid against the 'snowman' turtles head when you add the decor to the cake
- 18
Add your candles and any other decorations. You could make other 'toppings' if you like - mushrooms would be quite simple in white fondant or pink squares for ham
