Mermaid

Mermaid on Cake Central

Barbie's fish tail is made of gumpaste and fondant, making it appear that she sits on the cake. She is actually stuck into the center as requested by my 6 yr old. The shells are moulded chocolate and the coral is royal icing. All is theoretically edible except for Barbie herself.

That is great - My niece wants a mermaid cake, and I wasn't sure how I was going to do this. I would love to borrow your idea. Any advice on the tail?

what was the technique you used for the scaling of the tail...I took a rather pains taking path...and I think yours looks more "realistic (if there could be such a thing wiht a mermaid -HA).
