Back with the Bakes

Vacation is over! Felt like it was just a dream. Time does fly! :P

I'm back with a couple new cakes, but still can't catch up with my mini-clay play schedule.
Also have some new boxes which need to be filled. Whom to complain to? I need 48 hours a day! lol

Both my Etsy and Dawanda shops are back on active again. Please pay them a visit or two. :)

Wish you all a great day!
Rachel :)

Spring Earrings

Yeap! :D

I'm back to cupcake earrings again, this time with gold and silver plated wires and also sterling silver wire. Still cupcake though. lol Can't get my hands away from cupcake, if it's about earrings. But they look good, don't they? ;)

A Beautiful Day

Time for sunlight, flowers and fruits! :) If you are on diet this menu could be one of your choice only that you may have to eat more fruit and less chocolate. ;)

You can also select your favorite fruit, make it more variety. Eat alone or with friend(s) and your loved one(s).

Available at my Etsy shop. :)

Colorful Day.....

I love spring and summer. But now as I moved to the big mango I've no more spring yet all (well, almost) time sunshine day - summer forever! :) Not bad, not bad.

There are always different kind of fresh fruit and veggies a whole year long. So, let's make something for a sunny day. :)

I've prepared a small dish of berries and grape together with apples, cherries, strawberries, banana, kiwi and orange for this fresh fruit salad spiced up a bit with fresh lemon. Anything else?

Happy Sunday!
Rachel :)

Eye Candy

I love their color!
Pastel, pastel, pastel, I love pastel color....... *^^*

I make 2 different size cupcake, in 1:12th scale - regular and king cupcake. These are regular size.

Available upon request at my Etsy Shop (other than this depends on my mood :P).

Have a pretty pastel Sunday! *^^*

We Are Not Perfect.....

And so do strawberries..... They do not always come in perfect shape and not always sweet and tasty. But I still like them. :)

*hugs*

Simply Sweet

Yes, they all are sweet sweets (and a cake). :)

I guessed you see that I'm in strawberry mode - whole fruit and new cane. LOL It's fun to try to do things with these strawberries. I do wish that they are edible. You know that they are fresh, juicy and sweet. ;)

Happy belated Valentine's day! :)

Chocolate Cake

Most of the time, most of the time. Don't ask what my fav. cake in real, but for miniatures I love making chocolate cake and this is my newest one! :) I, too, made new style strawberries. I like this style. :D

With a closer look the strawberries are so cute (IMAO). And in all this cake looks pretty yum. I wish it's edible (and big).....

Bitter Sweet...

After struggling with paper box making for quite a while I'm now on my box-making obsession. :D

I've discovered the fun of paper box making even if most of them are more or less useless. The great fun is once a box is being made, different pralines also being considered in order to fill the box. I like these tiny chocolate boxes and very much satisfy with the results (at the moment).

I now have my very own chocolate box made entirely by me. :)


P.S. Thank you Ana for the award. I'm honored! :)

'Take Home'

Wanna take home? You'll get it right away! *pack* *pack* *pack* Here you go! :)

You know that I'm not good at paper-box things. I tried to make different kind of box from tutorials with techniques just wanted to make mini-box for my mini-bakeries and chocolates. It just seemed like box making is not for me... This one is my latest try, quite happy with the result though but there are things to be corrected and improved. I'm not yet giving up! ;)

Spice Up Your Life!

Thinking of food set as combination between flower and fruit and edible things and eye consumable. I, in general, like colorful mini-food. Together with chocolate, color of other food are brighter and that make the food 'colorful' and 'spicy' for eyes. Soft, pastel color are warm and sweet. *^^*

Sweet/dessert and bakery making sites are my real inspiration and other mini-artisans' works spiced up my mini-making eagerness yet... I'm a bit too lazy after these holiday and vacation. *blush*

Chocolate Boxes vs Box of Chocolates

Tadaaaa!!! My very first chocolate box with pralines. I tried paper box but, seem that I need more time for tiny paper boxes. lol After some mistakes and unsatisfied results of mini-paper boxes I gave up (for the moment) and gave it a tried on lay box instead. Was not bad, I think (the round one in front). :) So, I tried heart and hexagonal shape. Wish the chocolates are edible. *bite* *bite* *bite*

Things to try out though. Happy holiday, merry Christmas and happy new year! :)

'Everlasting...'

*blush* I know that you knew it even before I started this blog entry...

I really like this pair of earring, I like the vintage look of copper wire and color combination of chocolate cupcake and the yellow flower.

Sending you a tiny 'pretty' feeling...

*hugs*
Rachel :)

Sweet Treats

I got up with something new in my head (yet I'm still in cupcake mood). :P

I decided to try a macaroon preparation board, seem that there is not enough space for what I had in mind. lol So, I made it a prep board with 4 different types of baked macaroon cookie in cream filling process. These tiny things took me from 8 am. to 3 pm. to get them all done, working with air dry clay takes time... I like the cookie edge effect though. :)

I'm thinking about changing the cream disk. Not quite 'right' for me. Any suggestion?

Last Minute Christmas!

Is it? Nah.... Still in time. :)

This prep. board contain loads of Christmas candy ready to be used as cupcake decoration for the coming holiday party and family reunion.

It's fun to make things different. Not easy sometimes but, fun. You can feel it in your heart...

Happy Holiday,
Rachel *^^*

My New Cupcakes and Blog Award

O.K., still in my cupcake obsession mood! :D Yesterday I made this prep. board. It's a fruit cupcake prep. board. I made flower cupcakes for the other prep. board and it's sold out and I still enjoy making cupcake and wanted to make something else different. I also made green tea cupcake which (I think) made the prep. board more colorful.

After taking picture of the prep. board, I found out that the best spot in the picture I like is the left up corner where the 3 ready made cupcakes are (looks festive-IMHO). Wanna give them a bite or two... *blush*



I received a nice surprise blog award from Staphanie (Petit Plat by sk) the other day and had problem to pass this award to miniaturist/artisan I admire. I admire many of them and it's difficult to make 6 out of all, I like Stephanie's works but, I can't pass this award back to her (or can I?). After a while I figured out that some of them are already awarded, feel relieve now. *^^*

Here are 6 dollhouse/doll/miniature artisans whom I would like to pass this blog award to:

1. Casey's Minis by Casey
2. Petite Framboise by Joana
3. Kay's 9ks by K. Stahler
4. .:minicaretti:. by Marcella
5. Dollhouse by Sumaiya Mehreen
6. Little Treasure by Christel Jensen

Please pass this award to another 6 people. :)

Making Pie...

Between cupcakes I made a pie preparation board. And yes, making pie not baking pie. :P Was thinking about some certain type of pie for the prep. board but, I finally changed my mind. It's more fun letting others use their imagination. One may like blueberry-lemon cream pie while another would like it to be strawberry-banana or maybe other kind of pie. :)

After all, I wonder if I'm trying to make this a pie prep. board or a cheese cake prep. board... hm... :P

Marble Cake or Cupcake?

Holidays are coming closer and closer. I made Christmas cakes and holiday bundt cake. *^^* I really like this bundt cake with its texture, color and 'taste'. :D Chocolate marble bundt cake! The most difficult part was decorating, I like the cake texture as itself and also wanted to decorate the cake. Over decoration will distract and disturb the marble texture, no decoration? too plain I thought. So, here we are... *^^*

And finally, I made my 'King' cupcakes. They are bigger than the cupcake I made in the past, but still in shape and scale. Cupcake lover will enjoy the size (I think :)). I've seen many beautiful real cupcake and the most 'yummy' part is its decoration. I'm now trying to make my cupcake yum... I also make cupcake for your ears! :D

Go King! ;)

Well, I meant my mini-cake size. I'm making semi 1:6th and 1:12th scale size cake, king size 1:12th scale which also can be used as small size play scale cake for Pullip, Blythe and Momoko doll. I'm falling in love with Momoko and Pullip... :P

With this cake, I tried a new technique on frosting. Doesn't look bad (I think). :D It's soooooooooooo good to get back to my 'clay play' again. *^_________^*

Winter Taboo...

It's always like this... missing ice cream when temperature is heading down and cold wind is blowing. But this year I'll be able to enjoy ice cream living in the big mango! :D

I guessed there is something wrong with me making Halloween items during spring, ice cream on winter, Valentine's items on fall, etc. -_-' Will I ever make things right? When I started making these 'out of season' items it was mainly because I missed them, I think there are some of us out there feeling similar... Or?

Anyway, this prep. board is homemade ice cream with toppings you can add as much as you want. :D
