My first mermaid cake! There’s a Barbie mermaid I created to go with this cake.
I covered her legs in plastic wrap and used fondant to mold her tail and fin and used piping tip pr810 to create scales. I used a shell mold to create her top along with edible pearls. It’s been 20 years since I have purchased Barbie’s so I had no idea they switched to cheap plastic and only special Barbie’s have arms and legs that bend. I had to search for several days to find one! Luckily I found this one and gave the birthday girl the adornments that came with the Barbie so she can play with her after the party.
The cake is vanilla with strawberry puree and white chocolate vanilla frosting throughout. I made the seaweed out of gum paste and all the sea creatures from white chocolate. I used several different sizes sprinkle pearls for bubbles and pearls with the shells. Everything is organic.
