Show and Tell Monday ~ New Desserts 2

I've established a routine every week when it comes to cleaning. As I work on miniatures throughout the week, my desk can get a little messy and dirty. So I've put aside Saturday mornings to clean my work desk. It can take quite a bit of time as I have to move things around to make sure I clean all surfaces. On Saturday, I think I took about 2 hours to clean my table, and it's ready for this week's work again! But I couldn't stand working on dirty surfaces, so I need to clean weekly.

One of the reasons why miniature making is different from other crafts is because there is a lot of materials needed - and you only use a little each time. From tools like cutter, ruler, wood, sculpting tools, clay, acrylic paints, oil colours, glass paints, toothpicks, wires, paint brushes, dried flowers, different types of glue for different usage (this is not even the entire list) - it does add up to alot.!

This week, I've made some new desserts!

Strawberry lavendar slice cakes & some strawberry mousse cup desserts! Enjoy!! They are available at my etsy shop http://www.miniaturepatisserie.etsy.com/

Show and Tell Monday ~ New desserts

Yesterday, I met up with my friend and we had lunch at Au Petite Salut. It was a little quaint French restaurant. It had been almost 6 or more years since I dined there, but I love the food still. The set lunch is a steal. The portion was just nice for me. I had Caesar salad for appetizer, Braised Chicken Leg for mains, and for dessert, I picked Choux Buns. The choux buns were so yummy, with vanilla ice cream and warm chocolate sauce over it! I'm not a sweet tooth person and the chocolate sauce was surprisingly not too sweet :) I will have to go there again.

Some of the new stuff I made over the previous weeks. A tall whipped cream mix fruit cake. :)



I had these cute little aluminum pans, and decided to make them into chestnut mont blanc desserts. These little pans are just 1cm by 0.8cm.
