Mermaid & Treasure Map Themed Cake

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Food & Cooking

Type of item: Food

For: Children

Style: Cute, Geeky, Classic


What was your inspiration?

It was a mermaid and pirates themed birthday, mostly girls, however the majority of the attendees would be little 6 year old girls.

What are you most proud of?

I love painting and drawing on cakes.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Mermaid was made of fondant/tylose. I used an extruder for the hair, painted the map then lightly airbrushed. The second tier is covered in brown/black fondant and used slightly stiffer buttercream for the seaweed and water effect.

ttyl!!!
