# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter a madeleine pan and dust with flour, tapping out excess.
02 - Melt butter in a small saucepan, then set aside to cool slightly.
03 - In a medium bowl, beat eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until pale and thick, about 3 to 4 minutes. Mix in vanilla extract.
04 - Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt; gently fold into egg mixture until just combined.
05 - Gradually fold melted butter into batter until smooth.
06 - Divide batter evenly into 3 to 4 small bowls and tint each with a different pastel food coloring gel.
07 - Using a teaspoon, spoon small amounts of each colored batter into madeleine cavities, swirling gently to create a marbled effect.
08 - Bake 10 to 12 minutes until puffed and edges are golden. Cool in pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire rack.
09 - Melt white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water.
10 - Dip tip of each madeleine into melted white chocolate, immediately sprinkle with mermaid tail sprinkles, edible glitter, and sugar pearls. Place on parchment paper to set.
