Pull-Apart Turtle Cupcakes

The cake is definitely the highlight of any child’s birthday party so it is important that it is not only delicious but well-decorated too. Instead of a layer of cake, you can also opt to serve cupcakes. How about a Pull-apart Turtle Cupcakes? The children will surely love pulling them apart before devouring them!

To make the Pull-Apart Turtle Cupcakes, you’ll need 12 cupcakes and two different colored icings. Start by taking 7 cupcakes and place them in the center of your serving platter. To create the turtle’s shell, position 3 cupcakes in the middle and 2 in the top and bottom. Next, take chocolate frosting and cover all 7 cupcakes. Make sure that the frosting is evenly distributed and smoothed out.

Then, you’ll need to frost the remaining 5 cupcakes individually. Use green tinted frosting for greater effect. Once you’ve had the cupcakes frosted, position the green frosted cupcakes as the head and legs of the turtle.

After arranging all the cupcakes, you can now start with the details of the turtle shell. Round out the shell by adding a bit of chocolate frosting unto the “leg” cupcakes. Smooth out the added frosting with your spatula. Next, take a pastry bag containing green icing and just trace the contour of the shell as well as adding triangles in the middle to make the turtle shell pattern.

Finish off your Pull-Apart Turtle Cupcakes by adding mini-candies for turtle’s eyes and nostrils. Add a small bit of licorice string for the smile. Don’t forget to add a bit of green licorice for the tail!
