Mermaid birthday cake

Today I have made this mermaid cake for a six year birthday party.
The cakes is covered in sugar paste. I have sponges painted the “rock” with gel colors and clear alcohol. The mermaids tail is modelled in sugar paste with CMC/Tylo powder and the body is modelled in marcipan mixed with a little sugar paste and some CMC/Tylo powder to keep it stabel.
I have used a SugarCraft Gun to make the mermaids hair. It is a brilliant tool that have 16 different pattern discs which makes you able to create fx. hair, ropes and strips.
To complete the cake I have used a silicone bead maker to make the pearls. I gave the pearls some luster dust as a finishing touch.
