One of my church girls, Enjee, was turning 19, and our cake queen,
Esther, designed yet another beautiful cake with Dain. I made a cake
topper for the cake, and I probably spent the least amount of time
making this one. That's because I already had the idea for the topper
visualized in my head, it was a simpler outfit, and I only had to make
one person, as compared to the two that's required for wedding toppers.
I was very happy with the results!

| Playing with hairstyles, yet again. This was the first time where I changed the shape of the figurine's face. At first, I freaked out because she looked like an alien. But, it looked much more like her once I added hair. The face shape change worked well because it's a very characteristic part of Enjee's cutie face. |

Side and back views. Whenever Enjee puts her hair up, she does it like this. Updos are easier (and less fragile) to manage both in the creation process and the final product.

| I was making her outfit purely from memory so I got some details wrong. The thong part of the shoes should have gone straight back, not angled like I did it. I also forgot to make the ring part around her big toes, and the bottoms to the shoes. Oh well. They're still cute! I needed tiny gold pieces to make the gold rings on her shoes, so I bought tiny beads, then pinched and pressed them in with pliers. |

| Details. I used real makeup on her eyes and cheeks, and drew in her freckles and signature beauty mark on her lip! |
Here's the inspiration for the outfit. Earlier in the year, she had worn this at Dain's graduation, and I had remembered it visually in my head. I was planning to make the purse too, but couldn't find the right gold rings for the chain, and also knew it would take too long. I just noticed her toenails! If I knew they were blue, I woulda done that too!
