Today was a day of signs and awning in the miniature bakery. Let me take you on a tiny tour of the new details I’ve added… I spent a good deal of time on the side wall of the bakery, creating an awning and vintage ice cream posters on the walls (the bakery’s proprietor and […]

Miniature Bakery: Adding Some of the Final Details
The miniature bakery and ice cream parlor room box is getting close to being finished! My miniature supply order came in with a glass-topped cafe table and chairs, rolling pins and cookie sheets, glass candy jars and more goodies. Here’s a little photo tour of what I’ve completed since my last post. Don’t forget: If […]
Bakery Room Box: Finishing the Freezer Case
As the week comes to a close, I wrapped up the last case in the miniature bakery: the freezer case in the back corner. I decided to fill it with cartons of the bakery’s house-made ice cream, homemade ice cream sandwiches, and a party-size ice cream cake. I also made a rainbow layer cake and […]
Miniature Bakery: Finishing Up the Prep Counter
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 […]
Dollhouse Bakery: Working on the Checkout Counter
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, […]
Miniature Bakery: The Cake Case Is Done!
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 […]
The Bakery Room Box: A Parade of Cakes
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 […]
Dollhouse Miniature Bakery: A Bird’s Eye View
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 […]
Dollhouse Miniature Ice Cream Case
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 […]
Miniature Sweets: Dollhouse Cupcakes, Mini Macarons and More!
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 […]
