Surprise Ninja Turtle Cupcakes

Sharing is caring!

 

We have a couple of Ninja Turtle fans at our house. And not all of them are children.

So, when we were trying to come up with what to do for the youngest’s third birthday, the teenage turtles were an obvious choice. Not because the birthday boy necessarily likes them a lot, but because everyone thought it sounded like fun.

These Surprise Ninja Turtle cupcakes were actually the first idea that we had for the party and they too were a family collaboration. We wanted to make them fun so my husband had the idea to have the hidden strip of color in the cupcakes.

My daughter came up with the idea to make the cupcakes look like turtle shells. I’ve sure got a fun family. They turned out so cute and each of the kids at the party had such a fun time taking their first bite to find out which turtle they got.

So, now for the quiz. Do you know which color goes with which turtle? Do you even know all the names of the turtles? Let me tell you that I do, but it is recent knowledge. I grew up with two awesome brothers and I was a bit of a tomboy, so I at least knew all of the turtles names.

But I was not interested enough to know which color went with which name. Except Michelangelo. He’s the fun orange one. That one is easy. The others, I had no clue, and to be honest didn’t really care.

Until my husband informed me how vital this information is. So I have learned and will never forget. Just for your information, Raphael is red , Leonardo is blue, and Donatello is purple.

Now that you have some vitally important and completely useless information, let’s make some surprise ninja turtle cupcakes!
