My little Chocolate Cupcake, with a strawberry on top.

My 3 year old granddaughter decided she wanted to be a cupcake with a strawberry on top and to have a princess fairy bucket.  She is 1000 miles away.  (She thinks her Oma can do anything!! lol)  I looked for a pattern but couldn't find one, so.....proceeded to design my own.  With a lot of phone calls back and forth with her mother to get measurements this was the end result.

I used felt for the majority of the costume.  Pink for the frosting and brown for the chocolate cupcake. I decorated the "frosting" with polka dots, using felt circles cut out with pinking shears then sewed on with invisible thread. I found a picture of a strawberry and constructed the strawberry from a pattern made from the picture. The "princess bucket" is made from a recycled lard bucket.  I covered it with felt and then added gathered tulle and covered the handle with pink ribbon.  (She likes the polka dots best!)
