A Special Birthday Cake - Charlotte the Sunflower Fairy

On Saturday my daughter Charlotte had a 7th Birthday party, her request for her cake was 'something pretty with flowers on', she is a fan of the Rainbow Fairies books and loves the book 'Charlotte the Sunflower Fairy' - unsurprisingly! Knowing how much children like cupcakes I made a pretty cupcake tower with primrose and petunia flowers with a special cake on the top covered in brush embroidered sunflowers and Charlotte the Sunflower fairy sitting on the cake.

As it was a surprise I had to wait until she went to bed to make the fairy, she was a delight to make and I was thrilled when her friends arrived and said 'Look, it's Charlotte the Sunflower Fairy'. Great fun!
