Show and Tell Monday ~ 1:12 Dollhouse Miniature Christmas Profiteroles Tower

Last week, I was just debating whether I should treat myself to lunch in town. Well I'm glad I did that, because a lunch means much more! After my lunch, I popped by into an upscale patisserie shop and am dazzled by the christmas bakery goodies. I asked if I could take one of their product catalogue, and the lady said I could. I also spent some time looking at their real life bakery display. Made a mental note that I need to come back here to get some christmas gift for a friend.

On my way back, I just could not stop thinking about the goodies...and I started thinking of how I should make them, in 1:12 dollhouse miniature scale.

I spent the rest of the week creating this 1:12 scale dollhouse miniature christmas profiteroles tower.

This took some time, as I had to make different "flavoured" ones - chocolate, pistachio, vanilla, strawberry, sugar coated and chocolate with peanuts.

I counted and this tower is made up of over 40 profiteroles...

Strawberries are also randomly inserted in between the profiteroles.

This has been sold! Thank you! :)

Show and Tell Monday ~ 1:12 Dollhouse Miniature Double Tier Cake Display Shelf

This has been quite a fruitful week for me. I worked on many little projects, accomplished some new desserts, and will be listing them on my etsy store slowly. I also worked on some new 1:12 miniature scale cupcake creations!


I love to look at real cupcake creations and think of ways to create them in 1:12 scale miniatures. A few weeks ago, I came across the butterfly cupcakes. Actually it's 2 sugar cookies planted sideways on top of some cream. In the middle, they added strawberries on it. I was quite attracted by it, and so I attempted to make them earlier this week.


Also, I made an antique/vintage double tier cake display shelf... ;)


I've not decided what I will put on the top tier, but I think the cupcakes look good on the bottom tier.

On an another note, I have some wild ideas in my head...and I am opening up this offer to brick and mortar shop owners. Would you like to have my cake/bakery display shelf in your physical shop? I am looking for exposure opportunities, and some of the places you can place this is at your cashier's counter. These unique items by itself give character to a room/shop, draws attention only to the observant, and inspire conversation when displayed. We can work out the details. Leave me a comment if you would like to explore this idea! I'll get back to you!

Show and Tell Monday ~ 1:12 Dollhouse Miniatures Video Clip

I spent the weekend making a YouTube video on my 1:12 scale dollhouse miniatures. I can't think of a better way to put my favourite music with photos of my work together. I like the overall effect. I like something light hearted, and this song is just perfect. I also have many other music on my favourite playlist, but we will have to wait till I have enough snapshots of my work to make another video. It wasn't too hard making the video, but I was quite picky with editing and making sure things sync, so I ended up spending almost 2 whole days on it.

Enjoy!
