You see, we are preparing for a very important celebration. It’s my nephew’s 1st birthday party this Sunday and he is the baby of the family. We we are hard at work pasting, gluing, sewing, sculpting and just busily spinning to get things ready.
I am however, a little ambivalent about the circus when it comes to the animals. As they are the stars of the show, I want to believe they are well cared for, but I’m still that tree hugger that wishes that every animal could run free in its natural habitat and not be in danger of being hurt, or even worse, extinct.
I know this little elephant is just fine. He is going to be the cake topper along with some other animals I have yet to make. I made him of fondant, which is a little trickier to sculpt with than clay so it takes me a little longer. The ‘stiching’ on his little blanket are individual white sprinkles.
adorable!
love it’s pink cheeks!
First off, totally adorable!! and second, fantastic job! Can’t wait to see the cake. Please share pics when you’re all done.

It’s all so cute! Hope we’ll get to see more!
Isn’t it amazing and bittersweet how quickly time flies by? Sometimes I love it and sometimes i hate it. I gotta say, you are so talented. Every time I see the lovely things you’ve made I’m enamored. Keep it up :o)
OH-KAY Lu- You have really gone over the top with this one! Just when I think you can’t go any higher you scale another peak. I made MyHero walk over to the computer to look at this! I said you won’t believe it! He said-what’s it made from- I said -fondant. He said- What’s fondant. I said…basically it is icing. He said..yeah right- (He is used to all my practical jokes by now). I said seriously…and I said…AND this girl is beautiful…he said Yeah right- I said here- Look here—and pulled up your profile photo. He said- Okay..You got me this time- you’re right- she is beautiful…and now I am happy because I can tell him- I told you so!
LOVE THIS little “ellyphunt” (as SweetCheeks calls them)- If I come back in another life will you adopt me? I am with you- I like my animals in the wild-except the human ones- I like them in prison. xxoo Diana
I am amazed every time I drop by here. You are just so talented, Lucy. I love the fondant elephant, but I am drawn to your sketches… Gorgeous!
Lucy, this actually made me tear a little! I can believ the work you are putting in my lil’ Ben’s cake! I can feel your love for him (and us…maybe, a little?) in your every pen stroke and press on that fondant. I won’t lie, I want those sketches! They would look AH-MAZE-ING in a frame!
Thank you Q, for loving Ben so well. You have made me one happy momma. Ben’s party will be perfect. THANK YOU, THANK you, THANK YOU. Love you.
