What a lovely party. I like how you have filled the space and spread out the colors.

Hazy is stunning. Is she a fairy queen?

For that photo shoot, and another earlier that same day, Hazy was a Fairy Queen. I'd never even considered adding the big girls into fairy scenes before, and I think she works great. After all, fairies come in all sizes.

I love these so much! I totally agree that fairies come in all sizes. I have a "Fairies & Elves" shelf in my doll room and there are many sizes. Your outfits are so spectacular. And I love how you pose them! Such wonderful food! Did you make the Tinkerbells on the fairy cake? That cake is amazing!!! I also love the addition of mushrooms here and there. Brava Martha!

Thanks. That series was shot last fall.

Those Tinker Bells are buttons. I made that cake for Holly's birthday back in 2015. It's great having shelves full of tiny cakes to reuse whenever I need them.

I've also used other fancy buttons on cakes before, like the Pony buttons on Talyssa's cake in 2018. I still have dragon buttons and other wild & cute animals, but I'm getting lazy these days and am just reusing cakes for various occasions instead of making new ones. But maybe I should make the effort again.

Oh that's such a good idea using the buttons!!! Heh, not that I see me making a cake any time soon. But you never know!

There was no way that I wanted to sculpt such tiny fairies, and the buttons provide tiny details in the perfect scale. It's just they are one-sided so need to be pressed against a side, or have something behind them.
