Squirt Happy Turtlecakes
Cupcakes with a candied Squirt on top made from gumdrops and gummies
Ingredients
- Cupcakes
- Frosting
- Sour Peach Gummi Rings candies
- Gumdrop candies (red and green)
- Spearmint Leaves candies
- Mini chocolate chips
- Wooden kitchen skewer or toothpick
Instructions
- Frost the cupcakes.
- 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.
- For fins, slice a Spearmint Leaves candy in half.
- Use an oval fondant cutter to cut each half into two pieces.
- Use the outer pieces for the front fins and the inner pieces for the hind fins.
- For the head, use a kitchen skewer or toothpick to poke eyeholes in the sides of a green gumdrop.
- 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.
