Ingredients
To make this mermaid tail cake, you will need the following ingredients: one ready-made Angel Food cake, one can of vanilla frosting, one package of blue candy melts, one package of edible pearls, one package of edible stars, and one package of edible silver dragees.
You will also need the following tools: one large mixing bowl, one heatproof bowl, one rubber spatula, one rolling pin, one metal cookie cutter, one small bowl, one table spoon, one pastry brush, and one pair of kitchen scissors.
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 inch round cake pan with butter and dust with flour. Place the Angel Food Cake in the cake pan and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Once the cake has cooled, cut the cake into two even layers. Place the bottom layer onto a serving plate and spread the vanilla frosting over it. Place the top layer of the cake onto the bottom layer. Spread a thin layer of frosting over the top and sides of the cake.
Melt the blue candy melts in a heatproof bowl according to the package directions. Using a rubber spatula, spread the melted candy over the cake. Once the candy has cooled and hardened, use a rolling pin to create a mermaid tail shape. Cut the tail shape out of the cake using a metal cookie cutter.
In a small bowl, mix together the edible pearls, edible stars, and edible silver dragees. Use a pastry brush to spread the mixture onto the cake. Place the mermaid tail onto the cake and decorate with any additional edible decorations.
