The mice and I have been hard at work, finishing up all of the dishes for my upcoming mini food tutorial eBook. If you’ve missed earlier posts, this book is all about summer food that’s already been munched on: fried chicken with the bone exposed, bitten-into s’mores, half-eaten burgers, you name it. The book will…

I’ve just finished a number of custom-ordered pieces for a customer’s miniature buffet scene: two dozen flaky biscuits, platters of crispy-fried calamari, and a large asparagus and bacon tart. (And now I’m hungry.) Here are of photos I took as I was sculpting the polymer clay calamari rings. I show you, step-by-step, how to make calamari in…

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…

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!

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…

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…

I’ve been working on the furniture in the miniature bakery this week, and yesterday I finished building a counter unit with a “stainless steel” top (it’s actually made from aluminum). This counter will be in the rear of the bakery in the preparation area, and I’m not loving the idea of gluing shelves to the…

Today’s post is all about the sweet stuff. The final part of the sculpting for the Italian book was a handful of desserts, which I completed yesterday, and I want to give you a sneak peek at all of the treats you’ll learn how to make with the new upcoming book. A quick announcement before we…
