Unicorns? Pah! Old news (I mean, obviously there’s a time and a place but still…). Mermaids are what it’s all about these days. You’ve probably been wondering how you can make the BEST mermaid cake around? Well, so have I. And I think I’ve cracked it. So let me show you how to make it step by step!
You will need…
A cake of your choice, filled and crumb coated
Buttercream or Swiss meringue buttercream coloured with food colour of your choice
Sugarpaste + gum tragacanth or CMC OR ready made modelling paste in a variety of colours
Lustre dusts + clear alcohol
Rubbery silicone mermaid tail and shell moulds for fondant/sugarpaste
Cornflour
Digestive biscuit crumbs
Various (optional) utensils including palette knives, cake smoother, turntable, non-stick board and rolling pin, various brushes, pokey things, toothpicks and probably some other stuff that I forgot!
Some useful videos to watch…

Is there a video for the Neapolitan cake? If not, do you have a recipe for strawberry cake?
Jemma… aka BOMB.COM❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Uh-may-zihng marMAYed!
I like your video. I was wondering where do you get your nonstick board from? I have not found one yet.
Love it
awesome cake but can we put luster dust and all??? 😐
Firstly I'm all about mermaids, so I love this cake!! but, I keep having a hard time making my buttercream firm. any tips?
That looks incredible Jemma!
Who the heck would dislike this vid, or her skills or Her! Am in love with all of it! I will try to attempt it for my daughter’s birthday (as Jemma makes you believe one can do it too). Jemma, how long does it alllllll take. From start to finish. Plz? X
the cake is very beautiful but that tail could be a fish, just saying. I would want to show a little more mermaid.
So cool! My daughter would love this cake!
It looks beautiful but can you make one for just girls
Omg I also am in love with this cake!!!! I’m going to try this next month but with a baby shark instead of mermaid since it’s for my baby boy’s first birthday! LOVE 🧜🏼♀️🧜🏼♀️🧜🏼♀️🧜🏼♀️🧜🏼♀️
Help Jemma! I've been asked to make a cake for a friend which will be on a long car journey in August. I originally wanted to decorate with buttercream but will it withstand the journey?
Beautiful cake Jemma!
It looks amazing!
so beautiful 😍
Woohoo! Just made this for my sons 4th birthday! See it on Instagram @laurenindrisie 🙂
Love this cake
Thank you for this great video…the cake looks awesome!!
Whhhhhaaaatt did you say at 13:16 😂😂😂
ahhh!!! screaming using my inner voice lol!!!
is there a way for me to use fondant instead of gum paste??
That is such a pretty cake! 🙂
🥰preciosa 🥰
gorgeous!!!!!
Just curious if Narwhals are a big thin there? My niece has SO many plush toys! Have you done a Narwhal cake?
Fabulous cake Jemma, is there are chance that the fondant decorations would soften if left in contact with the buttercream. ?
What fun!! I love it!!
WoW 🤩
How much ingredence did you use for the buttercream frosting please??
It’s boy birthday cake or girl?
😁😁😁😁😁😁
This mermaid approves! It's gorgeous! Xxx
HI, ITS OLIVIA AGAIN MAY 5TH IS MY BIRTHDAY
WHO DOESN'T BELIEVE IN MERMAIDS?
I’m speechless
This turned out so pretty . Did you use pearl sugar for bubbles? I was wondering if you used solid sugar to decorate around the mermaid tail. It is a beautiful cake and I love it. Thanks for sharing this wonderful cake.
