スイーツ界で「マーメイドケーキ」が密かにブーム？

海外では、日本人がなかなか思いつかないようなスイーツがよく誕生するけれど、今回ご紹介するのもその1つ。

コスモポリタン アメリカ版によると、今アメリカで「マーメイドケーキ」なるものが注目を浴びているんだとか。まずは、ニューヨークを拠点にするパティスリー＜Chelsweets＞の協力を得て製作された、こちらの動画をご覧あれ。

す…すごい（笑）。このカラフルな表面には、アイシングやフォンダンが使用されているそう。気軽に作れる類のものではなさそうだけど、とにかくインパクトが抜群なので、気合いの入ったパーティーにはぴったりかも？

Instagram上にも、力作のマーメイドケーキが続々！

#mermaidcake inspired by @kakesbyme for Martha who's turns 5 in a couple of days. I had to make 2 cakes this week, one for Martha and one for her brother Ned who shares the same birthday as Martha #twins

Mermaid dreams for little Chloe 💜💙💚 I'm a couple of days behind on my emails- I'll get to them as soon as I can. I made a promise to my little fam bam that in 2017 I would do my best to find a good work/life balance. Thanks so much for understanding and for your patience. 👩🏼‍🍳🍰💻👧🏽👦🏽 #mumlife #thejuggleisreal #wahm #mumswithhustle
