This Mermaid Birthday Cake Design is based on one by Debbie Brown. I liked the way the mermaids looked like they were swimming through the water. The cake itself is baked in a 10″ square tin and then cut into 5 decreasing rectangles (with the edges rounded off) which are then covered in buttercream & sugarpaste and then stacked one on top of the other. I used a plastic dowel rod through the top of the cake to give it some extra stability.
The mermaids and sea creatures are modeled from sugarpaste and brushed with edible glitter. I made shells by hand and also using a mold.
