UPDATE (2015-02-13): You can now use the Developer Console UI to manage your MySQL databases. Just go to your Cloud SQL instance page and click on the Databases tab.

ORIGINAL ANSWER (still works): If you have a MySQL client installed it is fairly easy to connect to your Cloud SQL instance and create a new Database.

1. Go to the Access Control section of your Cloud SQL instance.
2. If you haven't done it, get an external IP Address.
3. From the same page, set the password for the root user.
4. Whitelist yourself by adding a new Authorized Network and entering your IP.

Then, if you're using the standard mysql command line client, go a to a terminal and run

mysql -uroot -p -h

Or you can just use any client you want.

Once you've connected to you database you can just CREATE DATABASE MyDatabase.
