Coolest Little Mermaid Birthday Cake

I found a picture on the internet that I thought looked great and modified it slightly for this Little Mermaid Birthday Cake. I used store bought fondant and dyed it with the different colors on the cake using food coloring. First, I used the turquoise fondant to cover the cake so it looked like the sea. Then I made white frosting and dyed it a slightly darker color than the fondant.

I spread the frosting on top of the cake in the shape of a lake. I used some of the remaining turquoise fondant dyed it a little darker (same color as the frosting) and rolled them into long rope like strands to outline the frosting on top of the cake. Then I used the darkened turquoise fondant to make “S” shaped designs and lined them around the bottom of the cake.

All of the decorations were made using fondant except for the Little Mermaid which was a store bought candle. I dyed each color with food coloring and shaped each into the various decorations.
