Do you have a little one who LOVES Disney princesses? When I was a little girl, Ariel from the Little Mermaid was always my favorite and thirty years later, still is! I have always loved mermaids and the ocean, maybe because I’m a Pisces, my heart belongs near the water! “Isn’t this great? The salty sea air, the wind blowing in your face.” These Little Mermaid Dinglehopper cupcakes are inspired by Ariel!
Although, I also really love Merida from Brave! She is my spirit animal…spirit princess for sure and a lot like me!…OOOORRRRR maybe it’s a red head thing?!? LOL
If you’re looking to throw a Little Mermaid party for your little princess, these Little Mermaid dinglehopper cupcakes will literally be the icing on the cake! All puns intended 😉 These Little Mermaid cupcakes burst with red, purple, yellow and other bright colors and are sure to set the perfect birthday atmosphere!
