Ariel Birthday Cake: Photo Friday

Ariel Birthday Cake

My daughter wanted an Ariel birthday cake this year. I've made a Little Mermaid birthday cake before, as well as tiered fondant princess cake, a girly princess flower cake and a princess castle cake.

I've been busy lately and I was at a loss of what type of cake to make. So, when a friend offered their Ariel cake pan, I took it. Except, I didn't want the little icing florets that you usually do on such cakes.

So, I decided to bring in the resident artist, aka The Hubby.

My hubby has drawn Ariel free-hand so many times for my daughter that we made a deal, I make the cake and colored icings and he sculpts it.

I think he did a fantastic job.

My daughter is one lucky gal.

    I'm so not showing my daughters this. If I did I'd have to make one next b-day, and they'd be asking for ariel pancakes during the week.

    That's a damn good Ariel cake. If mom and stepdad could bake and decorate a cake like that, we might have made it through my adolescence with much less friction.

    You guys did such a great job with the cake! I agree with Kevin, no way I'm showing my daughter this cake. Your daughter definitely is one lucky girl.
