In this cake decorating tutorial, I demonstrate how to create a Mermaid Tail themed cake (there are many of these taking social media by storm, but this is my little version of the colourful creature). Enjoy!

In these video tutorials, I normally use Bakels Premixes to save on time.
(Bakels is a bakery grade cake premix. Another great one is Allied Mills)

If you prefer to bake from scratch, I do have a range of awesome cake recipes here which convert to cupcake recipes very nicely too.

I use these butter based cakes above because they are sturdy under fondant and stable at room temperature, as are the muds.

AMERICAN BUTTERCREAM RECIPE:

RICE BUTTLE AND MARSHMELLOW MIXTURE:
2 Tablespoons Butter
180 grams of Marshmellow
5 cups Rice Bubbles
A) Melt butter and marshmallows in a microwave safe bowl for 30 seconds. Stir until combined. You may need to zap for an additional 10 seconds if the marshmallows haven't melted down completely.
B) Once the mixture is combined, pour in your rice bubbles and stir until they have been completely coated. Allow to rest for 15 minutes before handling. To help the mixture not to stick to your hands, wet them slightly with a little vegetable oil.

Thanks guys for watching! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial- I am actually running classes at the start of August demonstrating the acrylic method of buttercreaming. If you guys are interested, feel free to send me an e-mail on rosiesdessertspot@gmail.com. This demo will be held in Melbourne, however I am looking into how I would go about demonstrating this in full detail online with a live class where you guys will be able to ask questions as I decorate, etc. If anybody might have an idea of how to go about doing this, Please do reach out!! I would love to get your opinion on this as I have never actually done a live online class before.

Thanks again for watching lovelies, and thank you to those who have requested this style of cake for demonstration :)

With love,
Rosie
