Swimming pool cake

A friend asked me to produce a swimming pool themed cake for her daughters 9th birthday, mentioning she was also into mermaids and this is the result. It's a lemon sponge with buttercream and lemoncurd filling and again there are a few attempts at new things. After practicing with plasticine I ended up with pretty successful kids based on Trinity's friends and I added the little girls swimsuit with my new toy, an airbrush. I made a template for the mermaids from a silhouette on t'internet so I could put them on all sides of the cake, and you can tell I've been practicing my writing as it's starting to look neater. Then just a sprinking of glitter to finish it off. According to her mum Trinity loved it, which is the most important thing.
