So Awesome! Looks like it took a long time! I love that it's not just the book...and you added the surroundings! Great job! Images on pages - outstanding!!

Thank you :) Yes, fairy making and painting was very time consuming... I'd say about 45 hours total, but it was the first time I'd ever done most of it. Like using the molds, trying to get those wings to stay put, using and painting on icing sheets, and my first book cake. So trial and error to figure out how to make certain things work took up a lot of time.
