It's cute! I don't see how it couldn't be.

Some of the recipes are a little less polished-looking than others but I think that was about what I was expecting after learning that Gallagher is in her twenties. There's also the fact that this is obviously capitalizing on the "mermaid desserts" trend so even the loosest things are deigned to fit, i.e. sea turtle shaped truffles, shark cake pops, etc. (I know that the mermaid desserts trend is a thing purely because I saw it spoken about on Sugar Rush, you couldn't pay me to have an Instagram).

I'm unfortunately a little too broke at the moment to get most of the materials required to make these desserts (heck, I can't even afford the book, this is a Libby loan) but someday... SOMEDAY...

I'll need to report if any of the food I try to make with these recipes is actually decent in the distant future.

One star detracted for a missing period (editors, where are you?!) But an enjoyable and clever book of cute desserts.

Super cute recipes with the sea and mermaids as the themes.

Possibly Gallagher's weakest whimsical treat book. Definitely more for kids' parties, with a strong use of white chocolate. A good book, but not as good as her others.
