How to make chocolate turtle cake?
Can you think of a mixture more appealing than chocolate, caramel, and pecans? We didn’t think so. Maybe that’s why this cake is an all-time party favorite.
My thoughts:
Serve it at your turtle baby shower since it’s a perfect baby shower cake. You can also serve make this cake for a Ninja Turtle birthday party, a bridal shower or a wedding party.
