It's the Fourth of July!

Happy Fourth of July!! This is one of my favorite times of the year, for sure! Independence Day might very well be my favorite holiday, for many reasons. There is so much to be grateful for, especially our troops!

Days before my surgery, I was able to very quickly make a few Fourth of July minis to share with you today. I just couldn't let this holiday pass without some patriotic miniatures! Hopefully next year I will have more Independence Day miniatures to share than I do today.

Once again, Happy Fourth of July! Please enjoy the cookies, lollipops, and cake!

Just Another Cake

The good news is that my eye surgery went very well! However, my eye isn't recovering as was hoped (and now there are some complications), so it seems that I might have to wait even longer to get back to making miniatures again. I don't really know--it's hard to say what will happen. Hopefully things will get better soon! In the meantime, we'll see how patient I am while I wait until my vision gets better!


Here's just another cake that I made (before surgery of course). It has three layers of cake, two chocolate and one vanilla. It is coated with a generous amount of white, creamy icing. As a bonus, it is topped with chocolate shreds. I could really go for a slice of this right about now.

Classic Hamburger & Fries

Summer is just around the corner! We all know that summer is full of cookouts. In keeping with the season, I have made some delicious hamburgers grilled to perfection, along with a serving of french fries and ketchup. Who's hungry? I also made hamburger earrings that dangle very nicely.

Tomorrow is my eye surgery. Unfortunately I will have to take some time off from making miniatures while I recover, but I will return and share more minis as soon as I am able. Until next time!

Fudge!

Fudge is another one of my several addictions! It's just so good and I love how it melts in your mouth. For this post, I have prepared half a dozen tiny pieces of fudge to share with you. A touch of white chocolate and peanut butter adds that delicious zang to the rich and fudgy chocolate layers.

Simple Banana Tart

Recently I tried making a simple banana chocolate tart.. not a bad result? Sometime soon I will have to experiment further with tart making. If only I were a good baker, then maybe I could make some of my miniature sweets in real life!

(Early) Happy Memorial Day! I'd like to extend a special thank you to our troops, especially those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. We appreciate all that you do.

Red Velvet Cake

If you know me at all, then you know that I love making mini cakes! I will always be addicted to making cakes. Today I've decided to share my first attempt at a simple red velvet cake. As you can see, there are two small roses nestled among the thick white icing. Please enjoy!

Fresh from the Oven

Bread! It seems like I can never get enough of it. There are so many different kinds, each tasty in its own way. It's always a special treat to have the "good stuff."

I've always enjoyed testing various types of bread in miniature. One day I decided to just have some fun, so I spent two afternoons making bread. Here is my newest collection of french bread, baguettes, sourdough, and more.
