It’s been a couple of months since the release of my last mini food tutorial, How to Sculpt Miniature Summer Foods, so it’s time for another book! The topic? Dollhouse bakery treats. I’ll be revamping content from my first two books (the cake and cupcake tutorials), since it’s been a couple of years since their […]

Dollhouse Donuts Take Over My Studio
I’ve had breakfast on the brain lately, and I’ve been sculpting loads of donut/bagel food jewelry and dollhouse miniatures as a result. My first piece was a colorful donut ring (sold out). And I couldn’t resist making tiny bagel breakfast sandwich earrings (add them to your collection here). Returning to my donut fixation, I sculpted […]
Catching Up: Lots of Dollhouse Food Pics
It’s been ages since I’ve blogged because of an enormous project that wrapped up a little over a week ago, so I have an entire backlog of yummy miniature food pictures to share with you. First, here’s a peek at my messy work table mid-project–so much tiny food! And here are a few of the […]
A (Mini) Mountain of Food Jewelry
I’ve been holed up in my studio lately, sculpting like a madwoman for an upcoming project. I’ll post more details closer to the event date, which is in September, but the gist of it is that over the next month and a half, I will be sculpting three times the amount of food jewelry that […]

Mixing Rainbow Clay for Tiny Cake
It’s been ages since I’ve made rainbow cake jewelry, and I decided to make a new version of my rainbow birthday cake earrings and cake ring. To begin, I had to decide on the shades and order of the colors. Then, the colors were rolled out and cut into circles, which I then stacked to […]
Updates (and yummy photos) from the summer foods book
The new summer foods book is coming right along, and I’m nearly finished with the sculpting and photographing stage. (Learn more about the book-creation process in this post.) Today’s photos are all from the book, so you’ll know how to make all of these miniature foods as soon as it’s released. Which reminds me: if […]
NEW Dollhouse Miniature Dishes for Your Projects
A big shipment (well, big in dollhouse terms) of miniature ceramic dishes arrived this week, and I’ve just finished listing them in my shop. Many of these are dishes are the same ones that I’ve used for serving my summer foods, so if you’re planning on getting a copy of that book this month (get […]
Mini Food Photo Shoot for the New Book Cover
One of my favorite parts of the book-writing process is creating the cover, because once that’s completed the project seems much more tangible and real. Plus, it’s just fun to arrange all of the tiny foods for the photograph! Yesterday, I had a brief period of good photo-taking light in my studio, so I decided […]
