When we were trying to decide when to make a trip to Kansas city to see the little people there it seemed perfect to go for Ethnie's Birthday celebration. And to help Steph do some party prep
...namely THE CAKE.
We've created some fun cakes together
and this one turned out to be another favorite.
Steph and Ethnie creating some seaweed and other underwater details out of candy melts.
Homemade fondant ready for color and our plan sketched out.
;
Steph had the cake baked, frozen and ready to go.
Dirty icing.
Fondant circles cut with a doughnut hole cutter for our fishy scales.
The artist at work
Steph sculpted the mermaid out of polymer clay earlier in the week. The rock is a molded rice krispie treat covered with fondant.
The sand is cookie crumbs.
Adding the last under-the-sea details
The plan and the finished cake
Done!
