Mermaid Cake

I made this cake for my sweet little niece Lily. She was having an under the sea party and what goes better with that than mermaids! I had so much fun making this cake. I cannot take credit for the idea. I found a gorgeous cake to replicate on flicker . I was not brave enough to make the mermaid out of fondant, but found the doll worked out just as well.
I was making the wedding cake and this cake at the same time so I enlisted some help from my sister-in-law Libby. She made cute little Flounder and the patches of seaweed in the corners of the cake board. She also made some super cute sting rays too. We stayed up late and had some fun. Thanks Libby for the help! And Lily I hope your birthday was wonderful. I know we had fun at the party!
