I mentioned in my last post that I’m working on a new tutorial book, and in this book, I’ll be showing you how to make a corner-room diorama of a miniature pizza parlor. In addition to the room and the counter, I’ll be outlining the making of tiny pizzas (and different styles from the ones I’ve…
Now that I can go outside without piling on fifteen layers, spring has captured my attention, and all I want to do is make springtime foods, like Easter desserts, dishes with fresh vegetables–you name it. In keeping with all things springy, I have a new miniature food tutorial book available, Dollhouse Miniature Easter Foods. Check out the…
Love is in the air this week, and my studio is looking very pink and pastel with all of the Valentine’s Day miniature foods I’ve been sculpting. All of these tiny treats are part of my next Cooking School Series book, and in it I’ll be showing you how to make the following: moist and…
It’s that wonderful time of year again: time to save big on super-cute stocking stuffers and goodies for everyone on your Christmas list, including yourself!

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…
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…
