As work continues on the miniature bakery room box, I’ve finished the checkout counter, making a tablet-style cash register, a tray of business cards, a little plate of heart-shaped chocolate waffles dusted in confectioners’ sugar (samples for customers while they wait), and two trays of allsorts candies. I’ve just ordered some hooks for the wall […]
I wrapped up work on the miniature bakery project this week by starting on the checkout counter, a long, low case with lots of display space. I wanted to feature sweets that were pre-packaged or otherwise ready for a customer to carryout with little fuss: things like candy bars, loose candies that can be scooped into baggies, […]
Today, I finished the last of the miniature cakes for the cake case, adding to the batch I made yesterday. I’m so excited to see the room box fill out, and next on my to-do list is the counter where the cash register and impulse-buy displays will be. Once this counter is done, the room […]
It’s Tiny Cake Central in my studio today, and I’ve sculpted four new cakes for the miniature bakery, including a very time-consuming ombre cake. Let’s take a peek! The first cake is iced with milk chocolate frosting and topped with pretty chocolate-strawberry macarons and a yummy sweet strawberry glaze. Second up is the Party Monster Ice […]
Now that the sweets cases are beginning to fill up, I really wanted to show you a view of the bakery room box as a whole. It’s really coming right along! It’s tricky to take photos at eye level, because my camera doesn’t fit into the room, so here are some views from above, plus […]
Today was a really fun day in the studio, because…well, because ice cream! How could I not have a blast filling a teeny-tiny ice cream case? Seeing the finished case next to the pastry one, which is also completely filled with miniature sweets now, gave me a huge feeling of momentum on this project–the room box is […]
I’ve been wrapping up the desserts for the first bakery case in the miniature ice cream parlor/bakery room box, and I have lots of colorful pictures for you today. That, and a new cupcake mold for your own projects. 🙂 Adding to the sweets I shared in an earlier post, I made more macarons, heart-shaped […]
I’ve just wrapped up a set of Halloween treats for an upcoming collaboration with Lush Little Landscapes: candy corn cupcakes, a bag of candy bars, eyeball sheet cake, and Halloween sugar cookies. Here are some pointers if you want to make your own version of the miniature sweets pictured below: Download a copy of A […]
It’s time for a new tutorial book! Many of you saw my earlier post with loads of jack o’ lantern pictures, and I’ve finished creating the tutorial book so you can sculpt your very own pumpkin-carving scene. These peices would look super cute in a dollhouse kitchen, on the front porch, or even in a […]
I’ve been sculpting pieces for a fall-themed collaboration with Lush Little Landscapes, and this week I finished a selection of yummy pumpkin-y desserts and a pumpkin-carving scene, the latter of which I’d never sculpted before. For the desserts, I made a moist pumpkin pound cake topped with caramel sauce and crushed pecans, soft pumpkin cookies with […]
