Meet Marissa, my entry for Cake International in London April 2013.

She sits about 12" high and is on a 15" board, made completely from sugarpaste without the use of any moulds, all sculpted, crafted and painstakingly created by hand.

Moving on from creating Cherry I knew there were some area's I wanted to improve on, particularly the hands and I wanted to work on a torso, but without the pressure of creating the legs at this point.  So a mermaid was the ideal choice, after much research I found an image of a mermaid enticing the sailors from the sea with her conch shell and that was my starting point of inspiration.  

The board is decorated, again with sugarpaste, with rock pools and nooks and crannies hiding hidden gems. With her raggedy tail, toned torso and shimmering tail, I am have loved every minute of making Marissa, who in total has taken me about 60 hours to complete.

I hope by the time you read this she is safely installed at Excel in London, without any damage and in her element to entice her audience in ...... enjoy .....
