Simple Mermaid Cupcake

The mermaid tale was made of eggwhite fondant let dry for 48 hours then painted with green metallic paint then blue metallic paint was dabbed on with a finger to give the impression of scales. To make the water the icing cream cheese decorator icing was mixed with blue metallic paint and sky blue Americolor. This makes the icing a bit too running so to the ¾ cup of icing 2 tablespoons of icing sugar was stirred in. The icing was swirled to look like waves.
