I used a doll cake pan and of course the Little Mermaid "Ariel" doll which which I undressed for use in the cake and saved the clothes to give to the birthday girl with the doll after the party. I wrapped the lower half of the doll in plastic wrap before placing in the cake. After baking the cake, I cut a hole in the center, just enough to fit the doll into and secured it with icing. I lightly iced it with buttercream, then covered it in fondant. Then I shaped the mermaid tail with modeling clay and covered it with fondant. I textured the tail with the tip of one of my leaf decorating tips. All of Ariels little "friends" were also made out of fondant. I lightly sprayed it all with a pearl airbrush.
Three tier ivory buttercream wedding cake decorated with white cornelli lace on all three tiers. The sea shells were molded from white chocolate, airbrushed with edible color and dusted with fine shimmer dust. Coral was piped onto waxed paper. The large clam shell on top of the cake was made of a mixture of fondant and gum paste so it would dry with a crust. Inside the shell were double wedding rings. The sand dollars were also made from fondant.

This was a two tier, 12" and an 8" with the 8" stacked towards the back side of the 12 " tier to make room for the decorations. The tiers were filled and iced in buttercream, then covered in fondant before stacking. Then I sprayed them with a pearl airbrush to give it a sheen. I made the ballet slippers, bow, sunglasses butterflies, crown necklace, and scepter out of gum paste, several days before. The rest of the decorations were made of fondant
The entire box of roses is a cake. It is a 3 layer white sponge cake baked and carved into a shoe box shape and filled with white buttercream then crumb coated in buttercream. The box was shaped out of gumpaste over a real women's shoe box carefully lined with waxed paper. After drying for a minimun of three days, it was airbrushed with gold edible paint, then attached to the sides of the cake with royal icing. The lid was done in the same way. The bow was also made out of gumpaste and I put it in place after the gold pain was dry on the lid.. I lined the box with green fondant to look like the green tissue florists use in a box of roses. I made the long stemmed roses out of gum paste and attached them to floral wires, also attaching the leaves I made from gum paste; after drying completely overnight, the roses were airbrushed. These were done ahead of time, days before making the cake. I then placed them carefully in the box like a dozen roses would be placed and made a little note card out of edible rice paper with edible ink to the birthday girl.
The cake was a 12 inch round white 2 layer torted, filled and frosted with white buttercream and decorated with fondant decorations. The minion was also white cake carved, iced in buttercream and covered in fondant and decorated in fondant decorations. The goggles are made of gumpaste and painted with edible silver paint; ( I used toothpicks to help attach them). I hand painted the blue jean design on the overalls with a tiny stiff paintbrush.
The cake was a two tier buttercream with fondant decorations and soft plastic toys for the child to play with after the party. The "buckle" on the belt was made of gum paste and painted with edible gold. It was actually made from two different items that I made, then glued together with royal icing before painting with the gold to make it look like a horse buckle..
