This was one of my first theme cakes for my niece...I used regular buttercream frosting, the water is blue jello with Swedish fish, the rock was made from a brownie baked in a small bowl. I took the legs off a Barbie (what fun!) and after streaking her hair and decorating her face, I put her into the rock and made the mermaid tail from frosting. The sand was made from crushed graham crackers and the shells were MM fondant
