Ariel



This summer's most popular mermaid finally makes it onto one of my cakes. I used a small plastic "doll pick" for Ariel's body, and fashioned her tail out of fondant. Cut off all her hair and replaced it with that signature electric red-orange flowing mane. The shells are of white chocolate, the sand is brown sugar, the seaweed fronds are buttercream and the multitudinous pearls are fondant balls rolled in super pearl luster dust. What a fun cake this was to make.
