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!

What's in the Box?

It's a New Year! Welcome 2012!

Recently I was really enjoying myself while constructing various miniature boxes. The smaller the box, the more tedious... that's for sure! But I have purchased a few new supplies to help me create colorful little boxes.

So what's in this box?
Half a dozen doughnuts, topped with chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry icing... and a few rainbow sprinkles!

A Few Purchases

Well I finally convinced myself to make a few purchases recently! I bought several items, but I'll only be highlighting one of my bakery display cases and glass cake stands in this post (a few other items are on back-order unfortunately). It has been so much fun playing around with my new little accesories!

You'll also find some pictures below of the first attempts at making my new cake box design. It's still in the testing stage, but I thought I mind as well share anyway!

What Have We Here?

I've been experimenting with making miniature boxes lately... and the results actually haven't been too bad! There are several different designs that I have created, but I'll save those for another time. Here is a box that I filled with a few donuts. This box isn't intended to store donuts, but I just wanted to take a few pictures with something inside of the box.
