“Don’t worry,” Honey assured her. “Once we’ve got the new candy, I’ll send you both back here with magic. It’ll seem like no time has passed at all.”

“Fabulous!” Kirsty smiled. “What are we waiting for?”

Honey waved her wand over the girls, and amber sparkles swirled around them. There was a wonderful smell of honey, and the girls felt themselves shrinking. The next thing they knew, they were quickly flying through the air.

“Here we are,” came Honey’s silvery voice a moment later. “Fairyland!”

Kirsty and Rachel blinked and looked around. They were the same size as Honey now—and best of all, they each had a pair of glittery fairy wings! Rachel smiled with delight and gave her wings a quick flutter.

Meanwhile, Kirsty was gazing at the magnificent golden castle that stood before them. Balloons and streamers fluttered from its towers, and joyful music floated from its windows on the breeze. There was the most delicious smell of cakes baking, too.

“Wow!” exclaimed Rachel. “Who lives here?”

“Nobody lives here!” Honey giggled. “This is our Party Workshop.”

Kirsty’s eyes widened. “Bertram showed us some of the inside, but I never realized the outside looked so pretty,” she said. “Still, I guess we are in Fairyland. I should have known it would be beautiful,” she added happily.

Honey pushed open a golden gate. “This way,” she called.

The girls followed her into the castle.

“This is Cherry’s bakery,” Honey told them, as they walked through a large, sunny kitchen.

Kirsty licked her lips. There were trays and trays of yummy chocolate cakes, strawberry tarts, cheesecakes, blueberry muffins, and lots more. Some fairies were carefully mixing ingredients, while others were icing the cakes with intricate royal designs.

“Look!” Rachel gasped suddenly. “There’s the goblin who ruined your birthday cake, Kirsty. I’d forgotten that the Fairy Godmother had sent him here.”

The girls watched as the goblin carefully squeezed pretty icing flowers onto a cake. “And to think he spent all that time messing up cakes,” Kirsty whispered to Rachel. “Actually, he’s very good at making them look beautiful!”

Cherry the Cake Fairy fluttered over. “I thought it was you two!” She smiled, pressing warm fruit tarts into the girls’ hands. “Try these. They’re made from my new recipe, with fairy blackberries.”

“Thank you,” Kirsty replied, watching the fairy blackberries glitter with a magical purple light. They almost look too good to eat, Kirsty thought. Almost.

“Yum,” Rachel said, with her mouth full. “This is the most delicious fruit tart I’ve ever tasted.”

Kirsty took a bite and closed her eyes happily as the juicy fairy blackberries melted in her mouth.
