Homemade Little Mermaid Birthday Cake

This Little Mermaid Birthday Cake was made for a co-worker. I used a 9 inch round and made buttercream icing. I iced it with blue americolor icing, then made the other colors for the body.

Then I found a little mermaid picture on the internet and traced it on parchment paper. I used Wilton's black tube icing for the outline. I filled the rest of the colors in, smoothed the back with a spatula and put it in the freezer.

After icing the cake blue, I took the frozen buttercream Little Mermaid pic from the freezer (leave in for 90 minutes) and then placed it on top of the cake and removed the parchment paper.

Everyone loved it and I think it's one of my best cakes!
