I made this one - easiest version I could do at the time, with ready to roll fondant icing. My rule of thumb - the time spent creating cakes should always be REASONABLY proportional to the amount time that will be spent consuming them. Three weeks on a kids birthday cake for the 'perfect' Ariel is just ridiculous. Unless you are a genius with sugar paste and it is your passion. Mine, it is not!
Originally a place to record what I have made on a creative level, 'my' blog has expanded to also show what the kids are up to.

Our Little Mermaid.... Wannabe

Unless So she could have done with some rhinoplasty , but I was a bit over her by the end! I really should have started with a plan... we live and learn? Well, I haven't much YET, but I do live in HOPE. Maybe next year?
