Lego fairy minifigure cake created for Jenna’s 8th birthday. The entire structure is cake covered in fondant with an internal support. She stood just over a foot tall and was my third Lego minifigure cake.

Her arms and hands are made from gumpaste and her wings are wafer paper. The handle of the wand is a cake support straw covered in gumpaste in an attempt to make it lighter weight. It was a challenge to have her holding it and in the end it wan’t totally in her hand :-(

This was my first time using wafer paper. I read tips that Violet (The Violet Cake Shop) had shared on her website on different techniques she had tried out for coloring wafer paper. I went with a light brush with shortening and then dusted with periwinkle blue and pearl luster dusts.
