Mermaid

My oldest daughter asked for a "Mermaid in the Sea" cake for her 4th Birthday.  It was one of my first times modeling fondant into shapes.  She loved it and all her friends thought it was great !

I used a egg white based icing for the wave like feel on the cake and jelly snakes for the seawed.  I bought a Barbie and modeled the fondant around her legs for the tail and used some coloured sugar on the top for a glitter effect.
