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.

NEW Tutorial Book: Miniature Pumpkins for Halloween
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 […]
A Miniature Halloween Preview: Carving Pumpkins, Candy Apples and More
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 […]
Miniature Bakery: Let the Dessert Making Begin!
I’m at a stage of the exterior of the bakery room box where most of the construction elements are done. I’ll be adding little details, such as flowers, an awning, signage, etc., but the bulk of the building is complete, so I want to transition to the inside, aka, bring on the miniature sweets! I’ve been relying […]
The Miniature Bakery Gets a Door (and Other Important Additions)
The miniature bakery is coming right along, and I’ve finished all of the brick work for the front and sides of the building–hallelujah! And for now, I’m simply not going to think about the fact that I have to do an entire sheet of bricks for the rear wall. 😉 I painted two tiny doors, […]
