Also if you can get some shell molds you can use candy melts and use luster dust on them. They also have fish and shark molds. Some bakery supply places have inexpensive ones.

If you mmicrowave colourful royal icing you get lovely coral-like rocks, pink blue and yellow work really well :-)

I'd like to thank everybody for their responses. My daughter finally decided she wanted an Ariel doll cake which I made and it was probably a lot easier!!!

thanks everyone!
