I prefer the look of a taller, slimmer cake, as opposed to a shorter, wider one. I used three, but next time, I might divide it into 4 6-inch pans. Since there is more batter in a smaller area, it took about 10 extra minutes to bake in the 6-inch cake pans. The recipe I used calls for 8-inch cake pans, but I opted to bake mine in 6-inch.
Cake:Ī simple and moist vanilla cake is the base for my Mermaid Layer Cake. I didn’t want to go too crazy with the flavor on this one, since Little L&C was more interested in the color choices than flavor. Summer is all about fun and what better way to celebrate than with a mermaid-themed party! I love anything and everything mermaids, so a Mermaid Layer Cake was definitely on my list to bake for this year’s Summer Dessert Week hosted by Angie from Big Bear’s Wife. I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the #SummerDessertWeek recipes.
Colorful frosting, sprinkles and candy melt mermaid tails give the perfect mermaid vibe! This moist vanilla cake with vanilla almond buttercream is sure to be the highlight of any Summer dessert table. No mermaid party is complete without a Mermaid Layer Cake.
