Princess Sheep Fairy

The theme for my niece's 4th birthday party was very unique! She is very lady-like for a little girl and loves having tea parties with her princess dolls. She requested a party with sheep and fairies, so, I thought it would be a good idea to try to make a Princess Sheep Fairy to sit on top of her cake.I had a vision in my head, of an adorable cartoon-like sheep with a tutu, crown, wand, and melted sugar wings... I'm still new to the whole concept of creating figurines out of fondant, so my expectations may have been set a little too high for this endeavor. The sheep was much harder to make than I had anticipated! She still came out pretty cute though! My sister made adorable sheep cupcakes and sparkly wands for all of the kids. So cute! :)

I'm excited for the next cake... I've got a few ideas...
