We really do love The Little Mermaid. I remember how excited Sylvia was when we met Ariel at Disneyland in Paris a few years ago. It was a fantastic experience. The Little Mermaid is a fantastic movie. I love the songs the music and this would make a great party theme for a child’s birthday.

    These are so pretty. I’ve never made iced biscuits like this before I wonder if I will manage. You do make it look really easy which helps.

    I always wondered how people managed to ice biscuits without the icing pouring all over the place – now I know you have to do an outline first! Learn something new every day ๐Ÿ™‚ x
