Ariel, The Little Mermaid, Cake
This was for my daughter's 3rd birthday who loves all things related to Ariel. I was crunched for time and used a store bought candle for Ariel and candy pieces for the Flounder, stars and shells on the cake. My daughter still loved it, even if I felt like I cut corners. It's chocolate cake covered in the decorator's buttercream.
It turned out beautiful. It's not what you use but how you use it :) The side details are great also. Excellent job.
