Sweets: a new respect for you mini foodmakers

I haven't even really started making the sweets for this bakery and my back hurts and my fingers are dry clayed out.

I do have a new appreciation for those of you who commit yourselves to the mini food side of  this hobby. While I make the occasional food piece for people who request it, its not a ball of fun for me.

We refer to it as baking in miniature, it really is isn't it? Triple baking at points..

Well its a start.. good thing I have three weeks left before the big reveal. At this rate I'm lucky if I can make a damn dozen of anything ;P



I did try something new here with the muffins, loaf and glaze:


I used our min jars of micobeads from the dollar store: mixed in a bit of the clay and in some glaze to simulate small berries. It was a quick and simple use that seemed to work out nicely, try it ;)

  2. Hi Jane! I don't know what you are complaining about...,These little deserts are WONDERFUL!!! The cheesecake deserts with the jelly glaze on them are scrumptious looking and the blueberry muffins look like they are ready for a big Bite! Your pink and chocolate frostings are rich and creamy and, I only wish that I had half of your mini food skills!!! YOU ROCK!
