This is probably the easiest mermaid cake around, though the frosting tip makes it look difficult. I kind of felt like I had cheated when I was done. 😂 But it really was pretty simple.

How to Make Teal Frostine

I made teal frosting by mixing Wilton Royal blue and Kelly green food coloring. They cost a bit more than liquid coloring, but you get a richer color and they last forever if you take care of them.

I made a Buttercream Frosting recipe from Two Sisters Crafting. It tasted great and was easy to make. I also got compliments on the taste so it’s a winner.

To get the color add a bit of one color then the next until you get the hue you are looking for.

Food coloring tip: use a toothpick to get the color and use a fresh toothpick every time. This helps avoid getting any frosting in the container. If food of any kind gets in the container it makes the food coloring go rancid.

How to Make Frosting Look Like a Mermaid Lagoon

For the rose shaped seaweed, use a Wilton 1M tip as seen above. Then at the top edge make an “S” shape. Do that around the entire cake.

Come back and fill in any gaps with a little dab of frosting from the 1M tip. It will look like a 3D star.

How to Make Candy Corral and Plants

Using Haribo Sour Streamers cut into plant shapes. You can see how I trimmed the blue strips off center that way I had two sizes that I alternated around the cake. For the bottom of the plant trim to a point or make a tree limb look. Then from the top cut and remove triangle like shapes. Twist the branches for a plant like look.

For the orange corral I cut it into the thirds rolled out into a column and held it in place with frosting. I didn’t feel like making white frosting and hadn’t thought to reserve some. I hid the dark frosting by putting it against the cake and then you couldn’t tell.

How to make Ombre Frosting

The cake has kind of an ombre effect. I did that by having a lighter teal and adding a half cup to the bag then mixing in more color adding another half cup, until all the frosting was in the bag.

How to Make Berry Layered Cake

The party was so exciting I didn’t get a very good shot of the inside of the cake. It was layered Berry cake with vanilla cake.

To do this

Cut the batter in half. Cook your vanilla layers first. These layers will be much thinner. Cook for around 11-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

With the remaining batter add

1 cup blended berry mixture,

1/4 cup flour (fold in gently to keep batter soft)

Divide into 2 sections and bake for 11 – 15 minutes, depending on your oven at 350°.

Finishing Touch

Add the mermaids of your choice. This is also why I felt like I cheated, it was Sooo easy and yet the little 5 year olds were going nuts over it.

There you go. I hope this was helpful. See you next time 😊
