I have to admit, this one may be my new favorite. My Bonus Niece, Aurora, had her 10th Birthday party today. I made her a mermaid cake to fit her pool party theme. I had NO idea how cute and extra adorable this cake would turn out... After icing the cake, I combed the edges with a wave to give the ocean vibe. I went ahead and did the borders first off, too--big swirly waves. Later, I added the little ocean life. like plants, starfish and coral. I have to give credit to this beautiful cake I found when searching for inspiration...I loved the sea life idea and had to try it. I also got the idea to do her hair with the grass tip, perfect! For the mermaid's fin, I used dimensional dots that I just smeared upwards and layered on top of each other.... perfect scales! I will have to remember this for fish, too! Happy Birthday Aurora!
