Fairy magic!

Now, it is true that the webmaster has often been mistaken for an elf, hobbit and on occasion a fairy... but in this case it is most definitely NOT her... No, this time the magic belongs to young Elizabeth who, when no one is looking, likes to flutter about and sprinkle fairy dust! Oh yes, i'm sure of it!!! lol!

Fairy magic is powerful stuff.... look what it did to cousin Toby!! Why, he's standing in a starburst!!

These figures are all completely modeled using polymer clay. They are a bit different from my usual bride and grooms ( which use a combination of wood, fabric and clay) and can take some time to do- depends on the complexity of the figure. Prices are upon request. Have a look at my facebook page for more images and feel free to contact me if you have any queries or if you would like to discuss ideas.

a little birdie told me...

tweet tweet!!! Ha!! I'm on twitter these days... well i'm a lazy tweeter actually as i have it set to automatically tweet my facebook posts. I thought i should make more effort to plug into this social networking lark (what more birds?!) that everyone is into these days... In fact i have to say facebook is great, i've been enjoying checking the caketops fan page and trying not to become hooked on how many new 'likes' i may or may not have lol!! So far, i am successfully not counting... however saying that there will be a MASSIVE PARTY if we ever ever make it to 1000!! hee heee!

Facebook is great tho i have to say. Until i started paying more attention to it a few months ago, i never knew that there were so many cake lovers out there, globally meeting up with a simple click on facebook. In fact so many creative souls of all kinds (whether it be work, hobby or obsession!), posting photographs, information, tutorials and all sorts of interesting bits and bobs. Gosh, to think it wasn't so long ago that we used smoke signals to comunicate, lol.

On facebook, you can loose hours easily, beware!! Ha!! Just yesterday the webmaster introduced me to 'Smörgåstårta' via facebook, i think actually i may be one of the few folks who hadn't heard of it before. It's pretty cool, however from what i can tell, even tho its a form of sandwich a popular ingriedient seems to be everything fishy. I am not a seafood lover, so if we have a Smörgåstårta at our facebook party for 1000 likes, we may need to come up with a slightly different version....

Anyway, i digress. The real reason i entitled this post was 'a little birdie told me' was because i have made a cute cake top for a pidgeon fancier groom and his lovely bride. Of course i was trying to be clever with a birdy title, then i said 'tweet' and then off i flapped on a tangent... still, here is the caketop, and i'll pop it on facebook too, and then it will automatically tweet itself, (our pidgeon would love to nibble on some Smörgåstårta while he's over there.... ) and then you see, it all works out in the end!

Congratulations to our happy caketop couple!!
