Summertime and Fairy Princesses

I've been taking a break in the cake-baking department. I was going to write something about how summer has come and it's time to take it easy and spend lots of quality-time with the kids - then summer took me by surprise and now it is about halfway through in this part of the world, and over a month since the last post here. Well, let me share the last cake of spring a bit overdue. 

It was the second cake for my oldest daughter's fifth birthday - the first was a Dunderly monster cake, and on the encouragement of her two-year-old sister she chose a fairy-princess-cake as the second one. We needed a second cake since the celebration with family took place one week after the children's party - and of course I'll take any opportunity to try and make something new. I wanted to make a rainbow cake for the first time :)

To fairies relaxing among wafer flowers and sugar butterflies from Dr Oetker. Their wings are made of rice or something and are also a Dr. Oetker product :3 The rest is all handsculpted, and everything is edible (apart from candles...).

This little  girl was supposed to resemble the birthday girl, but it's not exactly a striking resemblance o.O She has a nice sprinkle of glitter on her dress, though :)

There was one more child at the party, and I made him a snail

This fairy was for my youngest daughter

Green marsipan...

...hiding a rainbow-cake with butter cream and a hint of cream cheese to make it a bit lighter. Not too shabby, if I may say so :) Each layer was mixed and cooked individually - quite time consuming, but fun result!

*munch*

Have fun in the sun :D
