Watercolour Painting Cake
The box is ginger cake with orange buttercream filling. I handpainted the box and board (covered in fondant) with fool colouring diluted in vodka. The "paintings", easels, brush pot, brushes and paintbox are made with pastillage (or a mix of pastillage and sugarpaste). Thanks for looking.

Toadstool Fairy Tinkerbell Cake
All made out of vanilla cake with buttercream and strawberry filling. I didnt get the support system entirely right and had a bit of a disaster where it collapsed. Luckily the damage wasnt too bad and I was able to re-do the supports and save it. Lesson leanrt! Sugarpaste fairy but the fairy wings aren't edible- I tried 3 times with gumpaste but they always ended up too brittle and were snapping. I gave up in the end and cheated!
