If your daughter loves mermaids, a mermaid cake is a great place to start her birthday, because the whole party can take its colours from it. Here's what's on the design, how many it serves, what you can write on it, and how to fill out the table if you have a bigger crowd.
What's on the cake
The Mermaids Cake is lavender, and every detail comes from under the sea:
- Two mermaid tails: a pink one standing on top and a lilac one on the board beside it.
- Shells and starfish: in turquoise, pink, lilac and white, on the top and around the sides.
- Tiny pearls scattered over the whole cake.
- Curled ribbons in pink and turquoise running down the sides.
The colours are soft and close together, which makes balloons and plates easy to match.
Size and servings
The cake comes in one size:
| Size | Serves |
|---|---|
| 6-inch round | 6–8 people |
That suits a small family party or a get-together with her closest friends. If you're expecting more guests, see "For a bigger group" below.
Filling, flavour and writing
- Cake flavour: chocolate, or vanilla in selected cities; book a day before delivery.
- Filling: cream, Nutella, Lotus or pistachio.
- Writing: a name or short message of up to 25 characters, on the cake or on the board, in the colour you like.
On the product page, tap the design button to open the cake designer with this design and colour, then choose the flavour and filling and add your message. If you'd rather build something from scratch, try Design Your Cake.
What to write
With a 25-character limit, keep it short:
- Just her name, which usually looks cleanest.
- "Happy Birthday Lana"
- "Our Little Mermaid"
- «عيد ميلاد سعيد يا لين»
Count the characters first, because a name plus a message adds up quickly.
For a bigger group
A 6-inch cake won't stretch to a big party, so you have two good options:
1. Add cake cups. Put the mermaid cake in the middle of the table, with single-serve cups around it that are easy to hand out. The Unicorn cup is pink and purple, so it sits well with the theme, and you can add a name or message. There are more in the cup cakes section.
2. Add a second, larger cake. The SpongeBob cake comes from 5 to 12 inches (3 to 32 people); the 12-inch needs a day's notice. You'll find other designs under kids' character cakes.
How much to order
Each cup serves 1–2, and an 8-inch SpongeBob cake serves 12–16:
| Guests | What covers them |
|---|---|
| Up to 8 | The Mermaids Cake on its own |
| 9 to 12 | The cake plus 3–4 cups for the kids |
| 13 to 24 | The cake plus an 8-inch cake |
Simple under-the-sea party ideas
- Colours: take them from the cake: lavender, pink and turquoise, with white as the background.
- Table: set a few decorative shells around the cake, over a pale cloth that hints at waves.
- Balloons and candles: add them to your order from the candles and balloons section.
- Photos: place the cake at the front of the table so the standing tail shows up in pictures.

Before you order
- Day and slot: pick a slot well ahead of the party, not right on its start time.
- The name: check the spelling and the character count.
- Filling: cream is a simple choice for a mixed group of kids; if you know her favourite, go with that.
- Extras: add any candles or balloons to the same order so everything arrives together.
