This was for my daughters 3rd bday. The Characters are made from fondant, I didnt really have the time to dye each piece so I used Wiltons Food Markers (they're great very bright and vibrant). All characters are edible, Eddie--the elephant I used a Sharpie :( Since I made them a week before the party they were super hard and not really easy to eat. Maisy's house was real cake--I bought the Wilton house pan, made two so the house would be bigger.
