📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place the candy melts three microwave safe bowls. Tip: I like to use paper bowls for easy clean up. Melt in ⏱️ 30 second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. If needed, add 1 teaspoon vegetable oil to aid in melting.
2
Color each bowl a different color with gel food coloring (pink, purple, teal).
3
Add each color to a small ziploc bag and cut off one tip (or use a pastry bag). Pipe as desired into your mermaid tale molds (either one color per tail or a mix). Scrape off excess and allow to set.
4
Once the tails are hardened, very carefully remove them from the molds.
5
Divide frosting into 3 bowls. Color each bowl a different color with gel food coloring (pink, purple, teal).
6
Lay out a piece of plastic wrap and place one frosting color in a horizontal line. Repeat with second and third colors, making sure the lines touch. Roll up the plastic and twist the ends.
7
Fit a pastry bag with a 1M (open star) tip. Cut off one twisted end and add to the pastry bag. Squeeze out some frosting until the colors start to swirl.
8
Frost cupcakes as desired. Sprinkle with sprinkles. Top with a mermaid tail.
