Show and Tell Monday ~ 1:12 Miniature Cupcakes and Calla Lilly

It's Monday again! I had a very good weekend. On Saturday after housework and creating some miniatures, I saw there was really good sunlight! What a great opportunity to take some photos of my next batch of 1:12 miniature cupcakes. This batch will be sent to Carrie early this week.

In the afternoon, I went downtown to a bookshop and browse through some craft books. I needed new inspiration for flowers. I browse through dessert books, as well as clay books. I bought a craft book :)

On Sunday, after another round of housework, I had time to experiment on new flowers. The book I bought yesterday was on making Clay flowers. They were not meant for miniature scale, but I just needed the technique, then I'll have to modify and see what I can do for 1:12 dollhouse miniature scale.

For a start, I made some Classic White Calla Lilies.

I intend to experiment making some other flowers whenever I can.

Show and Tell Monday ~ 1:12 Miniature Cupcakes

It's time for Show and Tell Monday again! Last week, I re-visited the 1:12 Miniature Cupcakes again. A few weeks back, when I had some time, I sat down to start the journey of making them. The biggest challenge for me was making the piping, because each cupcake measures just 0.4 mm wide. After much experimentation, and of course failure along the way, I finally approve this batch of cupcakes. I love the colours and the feel of it. What do you think?


Decorations for 1:12 Miniature cupcakes is another challenge. The roses had to be mini-small, so I had to make them all from scratch. Various decorations were used: strawberries, gold dragees, banana slices, blueberries, coloured roses, sugared flowers :)


If you see on the table, I had a US one cent coin as a gauge for scale. I can put 4 cupcakes on the one cent coin.


Going to make a few more other coloured ones!
