Mermaid Cake
This cake was for my granddaughter's 5th birthday and doubled as a taste test cake for her mother's upcoming wedding. Figure modeling is not something I care to do. We all agree that this "Ariel" should be cannibalized and her herd turned into a Corpse Bride for Halliween. I liked Sebastian, though. Decorations are fondant and gum paste. The bottom beach tiet is gluten free yellow cake with caramel filling, caramel buttercream, and the sand is made from cake trimmings dried in the oven and pulsed in the food processor. The middle tier is strawberry and yellow cake layers with vanilla buttercream and strawberry filling, frosted in vanilla buttercream. The top tier is gluten free yellow cake with raspberry filling and vanilla buttercream.

Whimsical Strawberry Cake
Vanilla cake with strawberry Swiss meringue buttercream. Decorated with a Necco wafer border, sprinkles, chocolate covered sunflower seeds, Pocky sticks (strawberry and Oreo) with cake balls, and Necco wafer border. The cake layers were the color of the cake balls and it was a surprise-inside cake (sprinkles and chocolate seeds), but I don't have a photo of it cut.
