I am not sure if this is still in time or acceptable according to Challenge rules. 

I made it for my nephews birthday and wanted to make a 3D version of a "My First Words"-book.  

The letters on the bunting are Bradley Hand ITC (copied free from the print out), the Happy Birthday cloud is in Harrington (transferred before piping by overlaying the print out onto the cloud and pricking with a pin through it into the royal icing, I find this faster than the paper tracing method) and the word labels are in Bookman Old Style (overlay the edible paper over the print out and trace the words in pencil since the cookies were not for eating), all from Microsoft Word.

It is all royal icing, only the frames on/around the stable doors are in fondant; and the ribbon for the bunting is non-edible (royal icing doesn't stick to liquorice!) The word labels are edible paper glued on the biscuits and then the letters piped on it.

And now I have a farm with animals to spare, only the picture was sent across the world!

This is AMAZEBALLS.  However, it is unclear to me whether any of the letters are PIPED other than the ones in the cloud.  Is that correct?  Or are all of the letters, including the bunting and labels also piped?

Good point, Bakerloo. Liesbet, can you clarify how much of the lettering is piped, since this is a piped lettering challenge? Thanks!

haai Christine, Julia,
 
all the lettering is piped. I tried to get a clearer pic than the previous one.
I tried to get the word labels to look like they were typed on a typewriter, I guess it worked out quite well
and I admit I didn't change the icing for the bunting and chose a more freehand font there as I was running out of time. Lettering is not my strong point at all!
 
with kind regards,
Liesbet
