For this party, the theme was mermaid, but Linden’s mom sent me this picture – hoping to have a cake that was less character-based and more whimsical and pretty and oceany (if that’s a word… wink!).
Her colors were pale aquamarine, silvery grey and coral… and I was super excited about doing this cake!
I used my extruder for the waves and Linden’s name. And I hand cut the fish and painted them with gel tinted pink and with some pink shimmer dust added. I added sugar pearls for the eyes.
I dusted all the pearls with white shimmer dust and I used pink shimmer dust again on the larger shell and pearl on top…
… and on the starfish and other decorations.
For the large shell, in case you’re wondering, I used gum paste tinted the coral color (a mix of pink and orange) and I cut out a circle, then folded it over and pinched the edges to make the shape. I added the ball of fondant on the inside and let it all dry for 3 days to harden. Then I dusted it with the shimmer dust!
On the inside, this cake was chocolate chip cake with cream cheese frosting. Yum. Yum. Yum. All of the decorations were homemade marshmallow fondant and Satin Ice gum paste.
