Sunday Sweets Celebrates Mer-May!
May 27, 2018 I follow a lot of artists on Instagram, and I've been loving the "Mer-May" art prompt this month. So many mermaids in every conceivable art style - except, hang on, where are the CAKES?
Now there's an art style we can sink our teeth into.
So hold on to your foot fins, beautiful land mermaids, because I went fishing... and found 10 Mermaid Cakes that are Sweet as shell.

Looove these colors; who knew minty blue and lavender would work so well together?
Oh! And I'm adding something new to Sweets: When possible, I'm going to tell you guys where each bakery is located. I've always found it fascinating how Sweets are from all around the globe, so I thought you might, too. (I still include Sweets hobby bakers, though, so not everyone will have a location listed.)
The most popular "mermaid" cakes right now focus on their better halves:

Positively dreamy - look at the water bubbles on the cake board!
Low-key plotting to steal this crown so I can wear it:

Of course we can't talk about mermaids without including everyone's favorite redhead:

My favorite color combo! And I like how they're stacked like a 3D paper-cutting.
And finally, this one has a little of everything:

My favorite part is the ruffly "waves." So clever!
Happy Mer-May and happy Sunday, everyone!
