THE BLACKBERRY FAIRY - 916F
Inspired by the book Flower Fairies of the Autumn by Cicely Mary Barker. Cake is vanilla sponge with strawberry jam, crumbcoated in strawberry bc and covered in white fondant. Fondant has then been 'scrumbled' with autumn colours. Modelling paste fairy is holding a sprig of blackberries, from which blossoms and small blackberries have fallen. She is sitting on a fondant tree stump surrounded by the falling leaves and acorns - all made from sugarpaste and modelling paste and dusted with various autumnal colours. Plaque is made from very thin modelling paste and hand written with edible pen. Cake is sitting on a Poole Pottery Autumn Glory plate.

Tee hee Gail, just seen your comment about the hands! I had actually watched a vid tutorial and she had specifically said - remember to do a left and right hand! It's not easy working it out though oddly enough...............

Anne, thank you so much. I can't tell you all how lovely it is to get compliments from you guys.
Gail - the berries were a p in the a. I started off with a ball of fondant on a flower wire (like you would a rose say) and then rolled loads and loads and loads (did I say loads?) of tiny balls of fondant. Then I stuck them onto the centre ball with a little edible glue, working from the bottom to the top in a circle. When they were all covered I gently squeezed the whole thing with my fingers to make sure all the tiny balls were stuck firmly and to form it into the right shape. Then sprayed with edible glaze for the shine. Half way through, I really began to wish I had chosen a different Autumn Fairy haha.
