Tinkerbell Cake

I used the Cocoa transfer method as I do on all the cakes I make. I enlarged a coloring sheet of tinkerbell, then printed it out. Then I taped it to a small empty box. I used a push pin to poke small holes all around her for an outline. I baked the cake, and cooled it completely. Then I made wilton's buttercream icing and colored it purple with food coloring.

I placed the cake in the refridgerator for 30 min to let the icing harden. Then I took it out, and placed the picture on top of the cake. I then spread a tsp. of cocoa over the picture to complete the outline. I removed the picture, and had a perfet outline to do the icing with. I outlined her in black first, then filled in all the other colors next. I used sugar sprinkles to color her wings, while also making them transparent. I added grass at the bottom with a grass tip, stars at the top, to look like pixi dust, then sprinkled multi-colored sugar crystals around the stars for the rest of the pixi dust, and finished it off with pink border on the top and bottom.
