Really cool book! If you want to have a mermaid theme party, this is the book for you!
I love all the color illustrations and easy to read recipes for these lovely treats!
I am an ocean lover, and this is a great food book to enjoy if you are too!

The Mermaid Cookbook by Alix Carey is perfect for any mermaid lovers. I was pleasantly surprised that the recipes were fairly simple. The decorating tips made me confident that I could recreate the items. The mermaid toast is fun and easy enough to do anytime. This would be perfect for an impressive mermaid theme party or just for an extra special dessert for the mermaid fans in your life.

this is a beautiful little cookbook, some of the recipes are absolutely stunning, and the rating system regarding how difficult each one will be to complete is very easy to follow.
Gorgeous little book - 5 stars !!

Little children love make-believe, and mermaids are a popular theme in their make-believe worlds. The Mermaid Cookbook, by Alix Carey, is a perfect primer to bring those make-believe worlds alive. The finished creations are absolutely beautiful ? there are stunning photographs of every recipe ? and it will be difficult for a child to decide which one to start with. There are recipes for cupcakes, cakes, donuts, cookies, and candies, so the choices are vast.

The recipes, while easy-to-follow with clear, concise instructions, are not for children to make on their own; rather, many of the recipes require adult supervision and some even require a baker that has some experience, rather than beginners, since some of the recipes are complicated and have several steps. There are, however, some easy recipes such as Shark Teeth Kabobs (fruit kabobs), Magical Mermaid Rocks (white chocolate swirled with colors topped with mermaid sprinkles), and Mermaid Marshmallow Crispy Bars (Rice Crispy Treats). Seabed Rocky Road is an easy no-bake bar, and it is delicious. Jellyfish Layered Surprise is a striped gelatin concoction that will be especially appealing to kids and can double as a fruity salad at a mermaid buffet.

While the recipes are mostly for sweet treats, there are a few breakfast items such as Mermaid Toast, a Tropical Sea Smoothie Bowl, and excellent Starfish Pancakes. The Turtle Waffles are also adorable and tasty. Although almost every recipe in the book could easily be served as a dessert, there is a dessert chapter with a beautiful blue cheesecake, a decadent Seafoam Mousse, and cool Under the Sea Popsicles. The Coral Fruit Tarts are quite easy to assemble, and are colorful and tasty. Kids seem to love fancy drinks, and there are several ? a Lemonade Float, a beautiful Sealicious Chia Seed Smoothie, and a Mertastic Milkshake to name a few ? all colorful and appealing to both children and adults.

While this delightful cookbook is especially designed for children, the recipes are perfect to use at themed parties and get togethers. While not an essential basic cookbook, this one is a fun addition to any cookbook collection.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.

This is a really fun cookbook for kids! Lots of pretty easy recipes kids can make, some alone, some with grownup help. I'm looking forward to summer and cooking with grade schoolers- we are going to make lots of these tasty treats!

A fun, whimsical cookbook--perfect gift for the kids in your life. I really liked the simple, easy to follow recipes and excellent photography.

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

This is an adorable cookbook that any child that loves mermaids will enjoy immensely. Whether for a mermaid party or just a fun day of baking with mom or dad, this book will surely spawn a whole number of fantastic underwater treats!

A must have for any ocean lover! This is such a fun and creative cookbook. It has all sorts of delicious recipes inside, from cakes to breakfast to drinks. These creations are perfect for all ages, from a mermaid party to a beach party. Each recipe gives an estimate on the quantity, how long it’s going to take, and gives a difficulty rating. The ingredients and methods are given and easy to follow and understand. Even if you use your own cake recipe, you can still use this nifty book for inspiration on how to decorate it. Recommend this to anyone who has kids, often throws parties, or likes being creative in the kitchen!

I received an advanced copy of this book for an honest review. My daughter and I loved this cookbook. We had a great time trying out the different recipes. Even my son enjoyed it. The recipes are not complicated, and are whimsical and enjoyable. Thank you for allowing me to review this book.

cute and yummy 😋😋
I liked the photoes and hope they will taste delicious . Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the arc

This cookbook is definitely every mermaids dream. Especially for those parents planning a Mermaid themed sleepover birthday party. They have everything included from the birthday cake ideas to the morning after breakfast. They have also done a fabulous job breaking the recipes up into different sections, with an easy to use table of contents. As amazing as the recipes are, be prepared thst some of them can take a couple hours from start to finish. There are also a few that call for things to set for up to twenty four hours, so be sure to give yourself time these recipes are not for the impatient. All opinions are my own, but thank you Netgallery for providing with an advanced for my honest review.

I was a little nervous at first, because the last few unicorn cookbooks I've found have not quite been what I've been looking for, but this book was exactly what I wanted. Each decoration for the food in this book is under the sea related, and I am soooo excited about making the Mermazing Fudge! Great pictures to help you through each one. There are no caloric breakdowns in this one, but it's pretty easy to pick out which ones are super healthy and which ones...are not quite. Everything looks delicious, and it's not all just cupcakes and cakes (though there are a bunch of those)...there are even some breakfast food ideas that I cannot wait to try (Sea Turtle Waffle!).

Tons of mouth watering, colourful cakes, cookies and even breakfasts. Including a section on party food to help you throw an amazing Mermaid bash. Beautiful photos of the food made me want to try everything!

This delightful sweets cookbook is exactly what you need when planning beach or summer themed parties, or just making something fun for home, school or work. You would also be a big hit at any bake sale!

After short introduction you’ll learn your Mermaid name, (mine is Sparkling Tide Dancer ), and read up on Kitchen Essentials such as Equipment, and Ingredients.

Chapters include Cupcakes, Celebration Cakes, Cookies, Bars and Bites, Party Food, Breakfast, Desserts, and Drinks!

Among the amazing yummies you’ll find are Heart of the Ocean Cupcakes, Mermaid Scale Cupcakes, Mermaid Kisses Cake, Sandcastle Showstopper, Sea Holly Shortbread, Hermit Crab Cookies, Stormy Sea Brownies, Mermazing Fudge, Mesmerizing Madeleines, Coral Reef Éclairs, Starfish Pancakes, Turtle Waffles, Seafoam Mousse, Tropical Swiss Rolls, Mertastic Milkshake, Sea Breeze Slushie, and more!

THE MERMAID COOKBOOK with a visually adorable cookbook, with easy to follow recipes, and decorating ideas. I love photos in recipe books, and this one has some instructional photos as well as finished products.

If you love baking and creating fun, eatable sweets, THE MERMAID COOKBOOK is for you!

As a grandmother and aunt of several young ladies who love mermaids, the recipes and themed ideas in this book have been a HUGE hit! We have had many tea parties that have all received a 10+ smiles rating! Alix Carey must have known exactly what would make these young ladies happy. She set up the cookbook top be user friendly and gave so many wonderful pictures that my crew has already planned the next round of mermaid celebrations.

Absolutely perfect baking book for anyone who loves anything under the sea. At first I was worried this would be more for kids but the complexity and fun of the designs make it great for advanced bakers as well(and it definitely can be fun for kids too). I loved the photography in it as well, my mouth is watering just looking at all these delicacies!

Any child would love these edible creations. Each would make a wonderful starting point to engage chilren or adults in the beauty of our oceans and the threat to marine life. I bet they taste as good as they look too!

Alix Carey’s The Mermaid Cookbook is a fun and colourful cookbook filled with clearly detailed mermaid-inspired recipes. While the book features both easy and difficult recipes, beginners should approach with caution because many of the recipes have multiple detailed steps, involve specialty ingredients and require some baking skills.

I absolutely love themed cookbooks and I really enjoyed this one! The book begins with a fun “What is your Mermaid Name?” The book itself is bright, colourful and well-designed. I really appreciate the many full-colour pictures of the finished products.

The book features a wide range of recipes including cakes, cupcakes, drinks, bars and tarts. I would have really liked some savoury recipes because the book is packed with sweet recipes. I haven’t made anything yet but I can’t wait to try the pretty Pearl of the Ocean Macarons and the gorgeous Mermaid’s Purse Mirror Glaze Cake. The recipes are clear, well-detailed and easy-to-follow. I especially like that Carey includes a difficulty rating with each one and informs readers about the extra equipment that they will need. While there are many easy recipes, the book also features a lot of complicated ones that even the most experienced baker may have trouble with.

I also really appreciate that Carey includes a section on kitchen essentials because many of the recipes feature a lot of specialty ingredients and equipment. There’s also a helpful section on conversions and measurements.

The Mermaid Cookbook is a nicely designed themed cookbook filled with a range of clear and well-detailed recipes. The book has both easy and difficult recipes but beginners may have some difficulty tackling many of these recipes. If you love mermaids, baking, and novelty cookbooks, you should definitely check this one out!

Definitely give it a try if you have a child who loves mermaids or you love them yourself! Excellent ideas for themed parties!!
