No new flavor here, it’s just frosted yellow cake, a creamy filling, and a 1980s Miami Vice paint job. (Spotted by John R at Walmart.)

Seems a waste not to do a new flavor with this. So many possibilities…
I feel like quality has gone down over the years. I recall a better product back in the 1980s when I was a child. It just seems like an inferior product these days.
So does this taste like a regular cupcake but its marketed and labeled as Mermaid?
I must be missing something here.
So with sprinkles it’s considered a Unicorn flavor, without sprinkles, Mermaid? 🙂
Please bring back ” little mermaid” cupcakes!! I’ve never enjoyed a cupcake so much. Now there gone o refuse to buy any other Ebay do not compare to the mermaid!!!! Please,please bring em bacl
