Mermaid Tail Cake… and a Mermaid Party

For Charlotte’s 4th Birthday, she wanted a Mermaid Party.

I had a blast creating this undersea world!

Because the party took place the day after my “Candyland” Party, I used some of the same materials for both parties.

The table cover and runner easily transitioned from one party to the next, especially when covered with a net. And I reused the candy jars (filled with sprinkles) to fit the theme!
