Growing Bookworms – Sir Chocolate hosts a fashion show #cakeart #fondantart #growingbookworms

Talented poem, Merril Smith, gave me the idea for this Sir Chocolate hosts a fashion show post with her poem Changing Styles. Thank you, Merril.

Sir Chocolate decides to host a fashion show. All the villagers can come and show off their choice of outfit.

This is the stage:

Sir Chocolate is round and fat,
he wears a waistcoat and brown top hat,
Lady Sweet wears a stripy skirt and top,
She looks just like a lollipop.
Introduction to Sir Chocolate and Lady Sweet from Sir Chocolate and the strawberry cream berries story and cookbook.

For the fashion show, Sir Chocolate buys a new hat.

Lady Sweet can’t decide with bag and shoes to wear for the show:

Merinda arrives in her new fairy ballroom gown.

Silly Willy loves his new Peter Pan costume.

Lady Drama is very dramatic with her huge pink beehive hairstyle.

Lastly, the Valentine Toffee Cupid arrives. He isn’t wearing anything at all …

I’ve shared my cupid made from toffee for Resa who reminded me of this cute little guy when she posted her Baby Angel with a Heart street art post.

The show ends with a delightful song by Queen Filigree (from Sally Cronin’s Tales from the Irish Garden).

  12. Hi Robbie. I like the white shoes and purse with the flowers. I bet Lady Sweet would look smashing in them. ☺️

    You should do MBF cake for the blog tour, which will be mid-July. That would be cool. 😎

  14. Applause, applause! When it comes to accessories, Lady Sweet is spoiled for choice. I can just imagine what her closet looks like. It was good to see Queen Filigree take the stage, all prettily dressed by her ladies in waiting.

    Brilliant idea. I can’t say I’ve ever been to a fashion show, but if I did, I’d like the clothing to be as fun as your characters.
