Mermaids of the sea for Alexis

22/8/2016

A special request from my dear cousin as she told me that my lovely niece loves mermaids :)
So we set out to create a special 'under the sea mermaid' set for her. This is what we came up with...

Here are the step by step tutorial on how to create a couple of these mermaids, lets start with the pink mermaid.
Step 1: outline the cookie with edible marker and start with the face and body area. Flood with skin colour icing in medium consistency (we use 20 seconds icing for this).
Step 2: Fill the hair area with brown medium consistency icing and let it dry.
Step 3: Fill the mermaid tail with a light pink icing also in medium consistency and let it dry.

Then we continue with adding the details.
Step 4: Add the waist area, the chest and the bottom of the tail with a darker pink icing also in medium consistency - see picture below with the detail.
Step 5: mark the face area so you know where to put the eyes & mouth.
Step 6: add the eyes with black icing and use a small nonpareils sugar to add the white dot in the middle of the eyes just to give it some dimension. Use black edible marker to add the mouth.
Step 7: lastly add the strands of hair with outline/stiff consistency icing and as a last touch you can add a tiny fondant flower in the hair - see picture below

Similar steps can be followed for the sea-green mermaids.

Step 1: outline the cookie with edible marker and start with the face and body area. Flood with skin colour icing in medium consistency (we use 20 seconds icing for this).
Step 2: Fill the hair area with brown medium consistency icing and let it dry.
Step 3: Fill the mermaid tail with a light sea green icing also in medium consistency and let it dry.

Step 7: lastly add the strands of hair with outline/stiff consistency icing and as a last touch you can add a tiny fondant flower in the hair - see picture below

You can also create other complimentary 'under the sea' theme like shells, starfish and mermaid silhouette like we did in this platter :)

I have it on good authority that my lovely niece loves these set of cookies so i think we can safely say its mission accomplished ;-) Have a great week everyone!
