Pixieland

Made up from stacking cake squares together and topping off with cake cooked in mini bowls, glue together with apricot jam and then rolled in fondant, the extra cake was mixed with melted cooking chocolate and chocolate sauce to create a sticky base.

Next I cut out the windows and stuck on the door. For all the lines and marking out I used a toothpick. A toothpick is also holding the elves together as it was made in different pieces and glued together with sugar glue. The legs shoes, body - split into lower body, upper body, neck, head, hair with the ears and nose glued onto.

I used the back of the glue to make my bucket shape and then again used toothpicks to carve out some shape.

Tip - put the paint in the bucket before putting the handle on - I got very irritated with myself doing it the other way around - eventually took it off - stubborn I know.

Loads of fun and really very proud of my creation.
