Edible Cake Topper - Sweet Princess!

Talk about making a stunning cake with little, to no effort!  I have started printing out vivid, graphic-rich images on my edible ink printer and they would make the most amazing cake toppers.  These frosting sheets are edible and they meld with buttercream or fondant cakes.  You can cut right though them! 
I use Picnik.com to add whatever text I want to my images before printing and of course, you can upload images to your computer from so many places.  I still adore graphics fairy for most of my work so that I do not run into copyright issues in my sugarcraft shop. 

Perfect for the princess in your world!

Happy Crafting!

Hand Painted Princess Bed

Oooo La La!  Thank goodness I have a little girl who loves glitter and fairy tales as much as I do.

We bought this bed on craigslist (we LOVE craigslist) and it was in decent shape, but needed lots of work.  It was all off-white, a bit dingy, without any color at all- yuck.  So I got out my acrylics and went to town.  The foot board has a mural with a castle and city in the forest.  The headboard has a vintage princess crown that I downloaded from Graphics Fairy.  I printed the crown in black and white and then painted it with watercolors and markers.  I decoupaged it onto the headboard.  So simple!

I did the details in pinks, greens and yellows.  Once everything was painted, I gave the whole thing a good coat of hi-gloss decoupage spray.  While the spray was wet, I added fine powder glitter all over the bed. It was difficult to capture the sparkle in the camera, but the entire bed glitters!

Don't be afraid to buy something at a garage sale or off of craigslist and make it beautiful.

Hooray!

Happy Crafting,
