So, I like to take pictures of my cakes from the beginning to the end so I can see the process. I guess it makes me more grateful for the end or something. Anyway - this cake was made for Brent's cousin's daughter, Emma Pearl Lee. I found the mermaid ideas out of Lydia's "That's not my Mermaid" book from Usborne Books. The oyster came together from pieces that were cut out from the mermaid and left over. I was relieved that it somewhat resembled an oyster!
Since I really can't do people very well, I was glad to find a mermaid with such a simple face!
Of course I forgot to put the "pearl" (an easter malted egg) in the oyster before I took the picture. Oh well.
Emma Pearl (the Birthday Girl) testing the goods... 
Lydia and Emma - four months apart and almost the same size! It's ok, Lydia!

Oh my gosh Lindy! That is so cute! So do you just eyeball it when you cut it out, or do you make a pattern? You do a great job!!
Your cakes are awesome! What do you use for the icing? It's so smooth.
Thanks, Ladies! Yes, I eyeball it as I cut it out. Usually it works ok, sometimes I have to be creative to fix mistakes! The icing is Fluffy White Frosting. If you want the recipe, check out our recipe blog on my links - www.feedmypeeps.blogspot.com!
