My trip to Florida to see Guncle Randy and do a mini class is also a surprise birthday party. I'm writing this ahead of time, so I'm not mentioning details about who will be at the party.
Since the class is about fairies, and it was a party, I decided to make fairy cupcakes.
A kind swapper, Wendy, who was in my Fairy Book Swap, had given me a cupcake she made as a hostess gift and I've always admired it.
I hope that she doesn't mind me making some myself. These were done with Styrofoam balls in cupcake papers. Hers are a bit different.
I made a special, little boy sprite for Guncle Randy.
And an extra large serving of cup cake for the birthday girl.
When I get all unpacked and settled back in at home, I'll have some photos of the weekend for you.
There are lots of pretend cupcakes about, but these are the nicest I’ve seen. What did you use for the icing?
Seeing all of the faeries on your latest posts has put me in mind to have a go at one myself. I’ll start with a 2d one in my journal before trying a 3d one though.
I love these beautiful cupcakes, Karla! What a great idea!The flowers and fairies and colors are so pretty.
I am really, really looking forward to hearing about this surprise party.
These are just fabulous, Karla! They inspire me to try something fun like this too!
They are so cheery!
I totally love the fairies. Curious as to when or how this fascination with them came to you. You always draw me into a dream world when I am looking at your creations & I drift off to my own fairy world. Thanks for sharing:)
As always, Karla, your work is just divine! I love the fairy cupcakes! Wouldn’t they be a fun take-away? Just the fairy would be fine enough — they’re really beautiful! How inspirational you have been of late!
I used stryofoam balls topped with modeling compound. Have fun!

OMG!! These are beyond fabulous. I absolutely love every one of them, and now I must try to make some of my own!!!
Have fun with your fairies, Louise! The faux icing is modeling compound.
