Little Mermaid

The cake itself was made with Wilton Mermaid pan. The decorations were mainly buttercream. The face of the mermaid and dolphin were made with color flow. I copied the pan and made the face free hand with the outline from the pan and overlaid the face with buttercream hair.

The birthday girl wanted to be sure to have a dolphin on the cake because her favorite story was Barbie the Mermaid and the cover of the book had the Mermaid with a dolphin.

I decided to make a cookie bouquet with the sea as inspiration. The cookie decorations were made with color flow in advance and attached to sugar cookies on a stick.

When I found the appropriate pictures to use, I made one for use with color flow and one as the bases for cutting out the cookie from the roll out sugar cookie recipe.
