These yummy treats were actually for my own daughter's 6th birthday. I had planned on making the cupcakes look like the beach with little umbrellas (you can sort of see the chocolate shells I made in the cake pop stands)....however, the morning of the party, she asks if she can have mermaids on the cupcakes. *sigh*
Oh well, I am used to improvising by now!
I didn't have enough time to sculpt entire mermaids (and not enough fondant made either). So, I made these mermaid tails and dusted them with edible glitter, they turned out cute. I couldn't resist putting one shark in there though. She loved them, so that is all that really matters!
