Sweet Treats

I enjoy making miniatures, especially miniature cakes and bakes. It's fun! And the fun starts when I prepare the clay until I finish making them. This is so additive! (or is it simply my obsession?). ;)

Making Miniature Cake For the First Time

How to make miniature cake???

I remember the time I started to make my own miniature cake and had completely no idea what to do or where to start and decided to went ahead with all trials and errors expecting nothing for any good use, but lesson(s) learned...

There, I started with a block of clay and color pen's cap. It did not look difficult before I started to make, those cakes look cute and some look so simple. So, I got the clay colored, cut it out by a pen cap. OK, I got a cake body and now what?

Let start. We will do it together.

First, if you have nothing at all but a pen or two. Get one and take the cap out or grab one of your cookie cutters. Color the clay or use colored clay you want, flat it down to your desired thickness, cut it out in round shape or shape of your 'cake cutter'.

You now got you cake body ready for decoration. Want decorating cream? Roll a small amount of clay into small round ball, make some of them enough to decorated the cake base and top, if you like.

Toppings? You can roll small snakes and cut the snake into short rods and use the rods for cake topping like chocolate sticks. Line them radically on the cake or make simple cherry balls, make a tear drop shape of red clay into strawberry, etc. You do not have to do everything exactly like in reality, just simplify it the way you can. Have paper punch? Roll the clay into thin sheet and punch it out to shape(s) and use the punched out clay to decorate your cake. Now, it's up to your imagination. Have fun! :)

Just the Two of Us...

This is a cute, tiny wedding cake set. A set of three, one for her, one for him and one for us...

What's behind the scene? Men and women are alike yet different in many ways (men are from Mars, women are from Venus?). I found out that even if we all are from planet earth, we are alike and we are different. Like dark and white chocolate, we can be both, bitter and sweet (and yum!). :D

Love brings man and woman together with fondness and delicate feelings like pink rose. Strong and determine like dark chocolate. Gentle and sweet like white chocolate...

Think back to the day you fall in love, do you still remember those butterflies in your stomach? Your eager and impatient waiting for dawn and frown on the dusk? Oh... I'm in love... ♥ *evil grin*

Made to Order

Many of us would like to have some other specific design for certain items for our own purpose. The only problem is many items we found are 'almost' what we want to have, but anyway it's not 'it'.

So, what others do? They ask if some item can be done with different details to suit their need. Therefore, custom order service begin! Doesn't sound bad, huh? :)

I got messages for custom order, some are different from my regular items and they are sure fun to work with. I enjoy these custom orders as much as my regular stuff. I found out that the most important thing is communication.

So far, every of my custom order/made to order items are what the person who ordered/the buyer want to have. If there is no picture available from the buyer, I will do some internet searchings and send a pic or two to my buyer. And then, we got the same idea of what they want and what I will make. Or in case of real item replication. I would, beforehand, inform them that some parts will need to be simplify. I can't beat mother nature and her creations. lol I can only try my best to keep things similar or close to what the real one is. (Some items, after I finished making, I do not want to ship them to my buyers and just wanted to keep them in my personal collection... :P)
