Strawberry is a popular fruit for miniature cake and pastry decoration, whole fruit and sliced. The strawberry is also used as a symbolic of heart and love, due to its heart-like shape...
I used to make only whole fruit strawberry for my miniature and dreamed of sliced strawberry for my minis. I tried some experiments to get sliced strawberry. It was fun and frustrating at the same time. lol There were times that I did nothing else but fruit canes, piles of scrap clay all over and such time is still around...
And I got an order to make strawberry cakes, tarts and cupcakes. The condition was that the minis might have strawberry as one of the toppings and decorations. I have to admit that this order was a fun order to make. I had to stick with strawberry and vary other components to make all of them different with one thing in common, strawberry. They came out nicely.
Here are 4 of those from the order. Strawberry- kiwi-orange-banana Charlotte cake, strawberry-banana double chocolate cake, strawberry-kiwi tart and vanilla cream strawberry cake. These minis are in special 1:12th scale order, slightly bigger than regular 1:12th size. Don't they look yum? ;)
Daisy, oh daisy...
Daisy is one of my favorite flowers especially, white daisy. I love it not only the physical appearance but also the meaning.
Daisy has its own meaning on loyal love and purity. How cute! ;)
Roses are well known on their meanings and generally used as a symbol of love and fondness. Yet, there are many more flowers that can also be a good to represent your love and feeling on someone. Beside rose wedding cakes and rose cakes, I also got orders to make forget-me-not (true love and good memories) and some other flower cakes. I'm now working on wedding cake replication orders, one of them is a wedding cake decorated with hydrangea , rose and lily. Sweet and romantic... ♥♥♥
I enjoy making flower cakes and love the idea of using them as special meaning gift for special someone. If they are mini-lover you can give them as mini-cake. If they are not mini-lover you can give them mini-flower cake ring, charm or pendant that they can use in their daily life. :)
Do you have any special or favorite flower?
Oh well, spring is not far. So, I got myself ready for it and preparing ice cream to celebrate spring! :D
Green back yard, birds, bees and butterflies, flowers, sunshine and pick nick! Hoo Raaaaaaay!
I, personally, love double scoop ice cream cone that I can eat and wander around (I know I should sit while I'm eating, but...). Well, as long as it's ice cream, I don't mind though. ;) And as I like sticky chocolate sauce so, I make my mini-ice cream with the choco-sauce. Strawberry Sundae? Next one! :) Or mango delight? Or...
Yes, I'm in pie mode. :) I'm making pies in different container, flat plate, deep bottom dish, aluminum pan, etc.I always want to try pie with lattice top, I think this kind of pie looks nice. I wish my neighbor bakery shop make some tiny, mini pies to sell... Would love to eat each of them in one bite. :D
After I made this peach pie I was thinking about making a sliced piece out of the pie. But, I also love the look of a complete piece. I think it looks fine like this. However, to slice one piece out could also give another perspective and could be more realistic look? And I can see the inner part of the pie... What a difficult decision! :(
Was also thinking about making peach pie earrings - sliced the pie out and make them earrings. Finally, I decided to keep it miniature pie instead of earring pie. :P I think it doesn't look bad. Let's eat! :D
