My first gumpaste fairy........

Yes this is my first ever attempt at a gumpaste fairy !!!!!

Ohhh my nerves are wrecked from the stress....roflol.

I actually enjoyed making her even tho she isin't perfect,it was fun trying to make legs look like legs ect.....

I finally got to use my mini cutters & my face mold :):)

To start with I used normal fondant ( white) & Paprika colouring to make it a flesh colour,then I added the Tylo powder & mixed it well :)

This is what the colour comes out looking like :)

Her legs...Yep they do look a little wobbly but they are my kinda wobbly ;)

My mini heart cutter for dress & wings ...Used pink colouring for these....

Used this tool to give the dress & wings texture ....

Finally a body with a head...lol....Hair to follow I promise....lol

These are tiny tiny little flowers for her posie.....

Taaaa daaaaaa my Fairy :):)

Thanks for looking :)

Mukky Elephant

Yes a mukky elephant is what Darragh asked for today ,he wants this elephant on his dinosaur cake for his birthday party on Saturday,now try telling a 5 year old that elephants & dinos didn't exist together & all you get is a blank stare & the words" Nanny don't be silly ....of course they did" convincing enough for me....lol.

This is my first time ever making a fondant animal so don't slate me,I did try....lol

Chocolate biscuit cake
