I was going to wait until these projects were completely done before sharing…but I’m just too excited, so here we are.

I’ve been working all week on a custom order in 1:3 scale (think: American Girl dolls) that includes cake slices and a gingerbread house. (And a cookie, but I don’t have any pics of that yet.)

A Colorful Hanukkah House

If you’re working on building your grip strength, you should totally make a 1:3 scale gingerbread house! You have to mix a lot of clay for the cookie components, and you’ll have Thor hands once you’re finished.

The following pic is one of the roof panels, which will look so much cuter once the edges are piped with frosting!

Here’s the front and back of the house:

The house rests on an air dry clay base, which still needs a coating of glittery “snow” once it’s completely dry.

And the roof is waiting on a number of piped frosting details, while the window frames are needing glitter. But it’s getting there!

Time-Consuming Cake

I have just a few in-progress pics of the cake, but once the slices are completely done, I’ll be sharing a free tutorial, so stay tuned!

The crumb-texturing part takes a while, so you’ll definitely want to queue up some podcast episodes.

That’s it for now, but I’ll be back soon-ish with more pics and that free cake tutorial.
