IT'S MY LITTLE BIRD'S BIRTHDAY



So I made her a cake
a mini Ace of Cakes

I could ship a few states away

one that would not spoil

and one that was so small

I had to reference the size with the little dime faerie
that another artist made to show the size of her faeries

See.......that is a dime in her arms

and this little cake I fashioned from polymer clay
has a teeny, tiny, bird that need jewelers goggles to sculpt and paint

I used a white Fimo clay
three graduated layers

then I rolled out skinny clay ropes to wrap around each layer
and work with my little tools to become 'frosting embellishment'

I knew from the beginning that I wanted to use bright paints
then I glossed and protected it with clay glaze sealer.

The 'cake dish' is a teeny single serve jelly jar turned upside down.

Isn't it just a scream?!!!

Happy Birthday Little Bird
