How to Make mermaid tail cupcakes

1. Melt candy melts in a microwave safe dish.
2. Fill silicone mold, scraping off any excess.
3. Refrigerate until firm (about 1 hour or overnight.)
4. Use a piping bag to frost cupcakes.
5. Add sugar pearls.
6. Pop your mermaid tails on top!

Tip: My kids think store-bought frosting is too sweet but when I don’t have time to make a batch from scratch, I mix a bar of softened cream cheese with store-bought frosting (like this strawberry flavor). The result is less sweet but still plenty flavorful.
