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.

Something Old

A little while ago, I was sorting through various boxes which contain my miniatures, and I came across this wedding cake that has never been published on my blog. I thought it was worth sharing, since I'm still working on getting back to mini-making after surgery.

This wedding cake has four layers with pink and red roses cascading down the side. There are also some green fondant leaves to add an extra touch.

I've often mentioned how much I love making cakes. It's always a challenge creating new designs. My mind is always buzzing with new ideas, and I'm very anxious to start improving my wedding cakes!

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.
