IGMA raffle

Hello!

So, I was contacted by the president of IGMA to see if I wanted to participate in an artistic collaboration with some of the other food artists that are currently in the guild. We are all donating a piece or two and it will be showcased in a super cute pastry shop room box that is going up for grabs in their raffle. I am contributing a couple of cakes and I will be sending them out tomorrow. They are going to their new home and are going to join all the other amazing stuff that is going to be in this unique one of a kind room box.  I have absolutely no idea what the other artists are doing and am so excited to see the final work of art! I am super jealous to all of you who are fortunate enough to go see it in person, really wish I could be there!

Anyhoo, hope you like them!

80's inspired cakes

Hello everyone!

I just made some 1980's inspired dollhouse 1:12 cakes and wanted to share them with you. Since I am a child of the late 80's - early 90's and figured I would have some fun and make something a little bit sillier than what I normally make for Back to the Futures 30th Anniversary. I had a blast doing them and I watched Back to the Future, Breakfast Club, Labyrinth, and my favorite movie growing up, Legend while I made them. It was great to drive down memory lane and I definitely have some serious fantasy inspiration from the last two. I would love to recreate some scenes from Legend and Labyrinth in miniature, or at least some props used in the movies. Sigh, I guess I will just add them to the ongoing list of amazing things that I hope I will find time to complete one day!

Anyhoo, I hope you enjoy them! <3 xoxoxo

Memorial Day

I just wanted to say thank you to all of the veterans and I figured I would show my appreciation by making some remembrance poppies in miniature.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Halloween Cookies!!

I have been a busy bee and have made so super cute Halloween cookies in 1:12 scale for a special dollhouse. I hope you love them as much as I loved making them! I made them in normal frosting and glitter sugar!

Miniature French Macaroon Boxes

I am finally starting to figure out how to use this new digital camera I purchased, and can honestly say that I need a lot of practice. I have never seen so many different features and technical aspects on a digital camera before, but then again, the last digital camera I owned was about 8 years ago. I am also sorry to say that it met its demise on a kayaking adventure after owning it for about a month. Taking an expensive camera onto a substandard water vessel was probably not the greatest idea I have ever had, but in my defense I  took precautions and had it sealed in a waterproof container which was in my knapsack, which then proceeded to sink to the bottom when I flipped my kayak... Hard lesson learned, but I am proud to say I will never do that again! And now eight years later I am a semi more responsible adult  who is currently obsessed with making these silly little one-inch scale french macaroon boxes. It started with one and ended up procreating to a whole little village.

I can't wait to fill these with cute little tiny french macaroons!

I think that I am going to add cute little pastry shop logos on the tops or maybe cut a viewing window so many decisions and possibilities I can't decide!
