I tried to incorporate some of kaelynn's likes, such as chocolate and the colours pink and blue/turquoise. The NDS also has a small nod towards her love for cats. :) The concept didn't come together until I realised I personally love the combo of pink and brown, and decided to google some inspiration pics of elaborate cakes and cupcakes.
All sculpting was done with Apoxie Sculpt; the cake has a paper armature to keep it lightweight and the plate is made of some recycled plastic. Sadly I heard she didn't quite make it to her new home intact, the cake and some of the other sculpted parts came off. :( I think I need to invest in a new batch of Apoxie as mine is super old and maybe doesn't adhere as well anymore as it used to. Fully repainted in acrylics and rehaired with nylon hair (can't remember the exact colours used, I think it was Pussycat, Espresso, Butterscotch and some Sunlight for a bit of sparkle). I also gave her some accessories: a small gift box and a banner that says Happy Birthday so that she's ready to throw a birthday party anytime!

She absolutely gorgeous! I love the hair combo. You sculpted everything so well :D Sorry to hear some fell off.
-
A very beautiful and delicious looking beauty! :happy:

The hair colors are very pretty, and the sculpted details are a lot of fun. If you do something similar in the future, you might use a wire anchor to secure sculpted elements to the body.

I love her so much! Wow!

She turned out so awesome! I also love the pink and brown combo, it’s kind of underrated! The sculpted details are absolutely beautiful! Bummer some of it fell of during transit, but it happens sometimes when there is that much detail!

She looks delightful!!! Shame the cake fell off but I think it would do just as well loose xxx
-
Thanks, all! :happy:
I did secure the cake with a pushpin, and that seems to have been the weak point as it was only attached inside the pony with Apoxie sculpt. But Kaelynn informs me she was able to pin it back in place. :) Next time I'll try to anchor the pin/wire better, though.

Yay! There she is! The pics don't do her justice...she's even more beautiful in person and I love her so much! She already has her spot on my shelf with her party stuff arranged around her. :biggrin:
