Little Mermaid Cake

The Little Mermaid is one of my niece's favorite Disney characters. For her fifth birthday I made her this cake.

It was for a large group of kids. So I made two boxes of cake and carried it on a piece of cardboard covered in aluminum foil. I used her toys for the characters, graham crackers for the sand, fruit rollups, chocolate chips and gold fish crackers for sea life. I melted chocolate in the form of palm leaves, put them on top of pretzel rods and added cocoa puffs for coconuts. The kids loved it.
