Who says it's only us land dwellers who enjoy summer? I bet mermaids do too! The sea is warmer this time of the year, especially in the Philippines and they must be looking forward to the company. You know... divers, banana boat riders, not to mention surfers.
I have yet to go to the beach. I haven't been the beach person I was years before but this year, I'm looking forward to hitting the beach!
In the meantime, let the mermaids have the fun. I'll join in soon.
For these mermaid cupcakes, I decided to use store bought fondant. Sometimes, Bake Happy blogger gets tired of making everything from scratch. Believe me, I quite felt a baker's kind of rush when I first laid hand on the fondant. No more kneading and mixing and huffing and puffing. Yay!This one from Wilton came in four colors. Lovely summer colors - purple, orange, yellow and pink.Beautifully domed vanilla cupcakes.I forgot to put in just a little batter so I have to cut the top off to make space for the water and the mermaids.Putting in a layer of sea...I placed the mermaid heads and tails. By now you probably know why there are only three cupcakes. The faces are a little hard to make. Okay, make that really hard to make. But when I sea... uh... I mean see their faces - time put to good use. Finishing touches, piping jelly colored in blue covered the rest of the cupcakes.Here's one mermaid. You know who she reminds me of? Mutya. She's a child mermaid in one of the drama series currently airing at ABS-CBN. She is the cutest mermaid ever!!!I love how the dark haired mermaid seems to be "indifferent" during the "pictorial". She seems to say to me, "Do whatever you want, I'll enjoy soaking up the summer sun"How about you guys? What are your summer plans?
Happy Cupcaking, Aikko
