French Macaroons

After receiving a request for French macaroons, I finally made some multi-colored/multi-flavored macaroons...with boxes and lids!  It was so much fun (too much fun, actually!) choosing the different colors to make these.  Although they were considerably tedious, I was satisfied with the result.  As always, I look forward to making more in the near future.

Until next time--wishing an early Happy Easter to all of my followers around the globe!

Dabbling with Cakes Again

Realizing that I hadn't made a cake in such a long while (or really anything else), I sat down one day and decided to have a little fun.  This little rose cake was the result!  I love the shade of plum, and I thought I would top this cake off with a few plum-colored roses.

Also, near the bottom of this post, I added two pictures of the last gingerbread houses that I made for the 2012 series.

Trying Something New

First of all, I hope all of you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Now that the holidays are over, I am anxious to get back to making miniatures when time allows.

I had almost forgotten to share my very first attempt at making sushi.  Because I am uneducated in the art of sushi, I simply followed a picture and recreated what I saw (without really knowing exactly what I was making!). It was a nice change to make something new and quite different, so I definitely would like to make more and improve it...whenever I finally get around to it! ;)   

'Tis the Season

'Tis the season for gingerbread house prep boards!  As you may have noticed, I have been focusing on making a few different kinds of gingerbread houses in my previous posts.

In addition, I have added a few pictures of a few corn on the cobs!  I spent many, many hours trying hard to achieve the end result, but it was definitely worth it.  Perhaps I'll make more in the future, when my patience returns! ;)

Peppermints and Spearmints!

December is upon us, and it's officially gingerbread house season. I had a little fun recently and assembled 2 new gingebread houses: one is spearmint and one is peppermint. It's a shame I only get to make these once a year. :)

While I was at it, I also made a few delicate candy canes as well.

Bring on the Gingerbread Houses!

It's gingerbread house making time!  Considering how tedious these little structures are to make, I actually had a lot of fun getting back to making them.  After all, it's only once a year that I get to make gingerbread houses!  I am definitely anxious to design more, but here is one that I'd like to share in the meantime. :)

Early Happy Thanksgiving to all of my fellow readers from the United States!  I hope that your holiday is full of family and love...sending my thanks to all of you this Thanksgiving!

Delicate, dainty, and delightful!

A Few Thanksgiving Dinner Items

 Halloween has come and gone, November has arrived, and Thanksgiving is around the corner.  I'd say it's about time for a few Thanksgiving Dinner minis!

As you can see in the pictures, there is a succulent turkey, fresh pumpkin pie, and a golden platter of cranberry sauce.  Mmm!
