My friend asked me to make her daughters birthday cake. She wanted a mermaid cake that used her "favorite" mermaid, Merma. Well I couldnt' find a picture of a mermaid that looked like Merma, and Mom didn't want to part with Merma so I could sculpt her. So I just made the cake with a little island for Merma to be placed on once the cake arrived at the party. This was also the first cake that I made that was picked up by the customer. It was nerve wracking to know that I wouldn't be there to set up the cake, but everyone loved it.
