Shh.. the ninjas are here

Did I or did I not promise a ninja cake?

2-layer vanilla bean cake with raspberry filling and Italian meringue buttercream frosting


...topped with sugar ninjas
and strawberry sweets

A lot of research was done to determine what kind of weapons ninjas use.
Swords seem a lil too violent for an 8-year-old, so I stuck with these silver-gray stars


Mild weapons: sharp wooden stick (carved Pretz stick) and jelly ninja star


These took a lot longer than expected. The sugar arms kept breaking, and the bf commented on how the stars look like Jewish stars. Oh well, if anything it's the right time of the year for the Star of David
