I have very exciting news for all of my lovely tutorial readers: This year, I will releasing a new kind of tutorial, so read on for more details! This year’s tutorials are part of my new Cooking School Series. Unlike my previous books (the Dollhouse Chef Series), these tutorials will be shorter–roughly 5 to 6 projects per book–and offered…
If you’re working on building your own bakery room box, don’t forget to check out the new miniature shop furniture and other accessories in my shop. Since a good number of items sold out within a few hours, I wanted to show you out-of-stock items that are available for special orders. If you see something you…
Many of you have downloaded your copy of the brand new tutorial book, Building a Miniature Ice Cream Parlor and Bakery (thank you!), but if you haven’t gotten your copy yet, I want to show you a bunch of cute pictures from the book. I also have details on the miniatures used in the bakery, which…
That’s right, we’re almost to the finish line. In fact, my birthday is on Saturday, and my hope is to have the book finished by then: a nice present for you and me! At this stage, all of the writing is done, I just need to create the table of contents, arrange all of the…

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…
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…
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…
