Little Mermaid Cake 2

Vanilla Cake with Vanilla Buttercream, fondant & candy melt details
Ariel made from fondant & gum paste

I really enjoyed making this cake! I had to make Ariel a few times (mermaids are hard!!!) Finally, on the last attempt, my 5 year old said, "Mom, it's good enough <pause> but she looks a little freaky." There you have it :)

Cinderella Cake

 Chocolate Cake, Chocolate Frosting between layers, Covered in Vanilla Buttercream & Fondant
Cinderella cake topper was purchased (not edible), All other details are made of Fondant

This was such a fun cake to make for a precious little princess. My only problem was not having enough room to cram it full of all the Cinderella details I remember from the movie: horses, carriage, those cute mice & birds... Oh well!
