Yesterday I finished all but one of the savory dishes for the Italian foods book, which means that I only have to sculpt that final savory dish and a small handful of Italian desserts before the sculpting/photographing portion is complete–hurrah! Next week, I’ll work on the writing portion, which I hope to have done by…
I got quite a bit finished yesterday for the upcoming Italian foods book, so I have lots of pictures for you today! If you’ve missed the first two posts, be sure to check out more yummy Italian pics here and here. For today’s dishes, first off we have a delicious platter of veal milanese with deliciously crispy…
Next week is a very special time at the Mouse Market studio: it’s Customer Appreciation Week! As a way of saying “thank you” for such an amazing holiday season (and really, an amazing 2013 all around), I’ve created five free tutorials, just for you.

Over the past few days, I’ve continued sculpting and photographing more projects, so things are coming right along! Chocolate lava cakes and fudge Bundt cake: Vanilla pound…
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.
