A mermaid cake is a magical gift for any little birthday girl so we’ve brought you a selection of the prettiest cakes designs we could find. Our feature cake above is exquisitely designed by Cake Avenue (Australia) and features beautiful ombre frills which cleverly create an ocean wave effect.
To help you with your own mermaid cake design, Cake Journal has a great tutorial on how to make a mermaid cake topper. You’ll also find a tutorial here to show you how to make fondant frills for your cake.
The cake below is a great cake for a little girl’s birthday by Baking Addict Australia, featured on Kara’s Party Ideas where you can find lots more ideas for your mermaid-theme party (Photo: White Spark Photography). Brown sugar is used to create sand at the base of the cake which is sure to enthrall little party goers!
The pretty cake below right is from Cakes by Sharon (Sydney) via Kara’s Party Ideas and features a simple cardboard cut-out mermaid cake topper and pretty piping on the base tier to create scales. Overall a beautiful effect for an ocean party.
The two beautiful mermaid cakes below are in two contrasting styles – a magical, fairytale mermaid cake by Mercedes Strachwsky left and a cartoon style mermaid cake via Pinterest right. The “Magic of the Sea” cake tutorial is available to buy online from Mercedes Strachwsky.
Our final mermaid cake below is by the wonderful Sugar Sweet Cakes and Treats (inspired by Applegum Kitchen) and is a very clever underwater design.
