I wrapped up work on the miniature bakery project this week by starting on the checkout counter, a long, low case with lots of display space.

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…

I have miniature summer foods on the brain right now so today, I’m going to show you how to use my miniature ice cream cone and scoop molds to create a messier scoop of ice cream that overflows out of the cone. The inspiration for this type of scoop came from a photo I saw…

The finished book is in sight! Earlier this week, I completed the photographing and writing portions, and now I’m furiously chipping away at the book’s layout and design. Assuming nothing catastrophic happens in the Land of Tiny Food Books, I’ll have the final book ready next week. If you’re on the mailing list, as soon…
