Little Mermaid Sandcastle Cake



IMG_3971


Little Mermaid Sand Castle Birthday Cake was created by cake artist Teri Lyddiard.


This birthday cake uses multiple media to achieve its fun look.


The mermaids Ariel and Melody, Ursula, Flounder and Sebastian are all hand-sculpted from gum paste.




The seashells are made from Wilton Candy Melts and poured into molds with swirls of white and pink.



The cake is frosted in white buttercream frosting.


The castle turrets come from the Wilton castle set. Both the cake and the castle turrets are covered in graham cracker crumbs stuck on with piping gel.







The base is styrofoam airbrushed in green, blue and gold.  The cake is supported by CakeStackers system.




 In future video posts, I will demonstrate how the gum paste figures were molded. I will also demonstrate how to use the super-sturdy CakeStackers system.



This Little Mermaid Sandcastle Cake will be a great cake for any Little Mermaid fan.
