...not much could be eaten, too rich - a rich turtle, imagine ...the frosting would be perfect on a banana, with a maraschino cherry to go with it - or in my case, a jar of maraschino cherries. |
Re: 4 Pound Turtle Cake
Ok...Here are the pictures of the cake.

Re: 4 Pound Turtle Cake
So... you had to lock it up with a combination lock and cable?? It sounds too heavy to steal--what were you worried about?

Re: 4 Pound Turtle Cake
Turns out it's a very heavy cake...close to 10 pounds.
That's actually one of the two laptop locks I've got laying around....The family got down here about 11 last night (while i was setting up my external hard-drive), and it got left on the table. If someone did steal the cake, they wouldn't make it very far....they'd take a bite, and have to sit down. The richness is overwhelming. -John Richard |
Re: 4 Pound Turtle Cake
I basically just had a heart attack just looking at it! :ahh:
Good job making it! Looks very professional! |
Re: 4 Pound Turtle Cake
Somehow I am not surprised it weighed more than 4 lbs.
It went from a little red eared slider to a large box. :) The family fruit cake runs about like that..... I think we can give you guys the recipe if you want....otherwise I'll leave it alone. Jane |
Re: 4 Pound Turtle Cake
woah....that looks good.
This thread is deemed illegal by the Board of Willy Wonka under Law 29: "this looks better than what I made," and is punishable by giving the cake to the Board to eat. Daisy |
Re: 4 Pound Turtle Cake
It gets worse -
the photos show the cake after it had been in the refrigerator, so all the goo 'hardened' and didn't show. They brought me home a piece a little while ago and all the caramel and goo is oozing out with the pecans now where the light layer goes into dark. |

Umm..
Is this a West coast thing? What in the world is a Turtle Cake? I seriously thought it was going to be in the shape of a Turtle reading this thread. Ouch. My brain hurts. Boy was I sadly dissapointed, and now longing for an explanation about that pic. :confused: |

I think 'turtles' are like something we call pralines down here. It's a southern thing perhaps. Caramels, pecans, sweetened condensed milk - seem to have been what made this cake a turtle. Sorry that you were disappointed. :) Jane |

The little "turtles" are made with the same ingredients that Jane used for her larger cake, but they are roughly the size of a half-dollar (about two bites worth) and are made with one pecan-half coated with the caramel mixture covered with chocolate. |
