I created this completely edible, hand modelled mermaid from fondant that I then airbrushed with ivory sheen.
Her scales are hand made wafer paper sequins, if you’re interested in how I made them, you can see how I made them here http://mariannacakingmecrazy.com/2014/06/11/mariannas-sparkly-sprinkle-wafer-sequins/.
And her tail is rice paper that I soaked and manipulated, I then let it dry out again, before airbrushing with ivory sheen.
