Mermaid cake

This cake was for my daughter's 8th Birthday. I coloured the sugar paste base with blue and green coloured paste, and deliberately didn't mix it in fully. This created a marbled effect. The mermaids were modelled from sugar paste with a little Tylo powder added. I brushed some silver petal dust on to the cake to make the waves, and also on to the mermaid's tails, starfish and fish to finish.
