The colorful mermaid tail dessert was recently spotted at Disney's Grand Floridian [Resort and Spa's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resort-cocktail-program) 24-hour quick-service dining spot, the Gasparilla Island Grill. The dish consists of a mermaid tail-shaped pastry that's been dyed green and hollowed out. Inside the tail is a sweet cream filling made from [pineapple and coconut](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-dream-bowls). The outside of the pastry is also topped with rainbow sprinkles and a purple shell-shaped treat. As many early reviews have noted, this new dessert is definitely Ariel-approved. Even if you're not a seafood lover, this [mermaid-themed dessert](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lolas-and-disney) is the best way to enjoy an 'Under the Sea' experience.
