Tinkerbell Cake

I'm not 100% sure how I'm going to do this one.  I had hoped to use the Wilton wonder pan style but I couldn't find a tinkerbell doll that didn't cost too much.  I'm just going to wing it; I've been asked to have green icing like tine colour of tink's dress and make it girly and sparkly. Also to have it three cakes high.

****************************

I've started on the cakes and used the 'wet towel' method to aim for nice flat cakes that don't sink the second I get them out of the oven.

Not bad!
****************************
I've added the jam and butter cream in the middle and left it to cool.  It's not a straight cake, but that will be sorted when I ice it.

****************************

 I don't have the hang of rolling large pieces on fondant and picking it up, so I've iced the top and made some fondant leaves (sprayed them with silver spray) I've stuck the leaves to the cake at around 90 degrees to each other (i.e. at 90 degrees, then 180 degrees etc)


****************************
I couldn't be bothered writing it all; here's the end result. I didn't have a black edible ink pen so her eyes make her look a bit funny
