Dollhouse Miniature Ranunculus Bouquet

It's been a while since I finished the dollhouse miniature ranunculus bouquet, but it was only today that I managed to mail it out. This was because of some labor disputes going on in Canada Post. I was holding onto the bouquet for over a week now. Thankfully my customer was very patient and understanding and we have both been keeping track of the status. They didn't disrupt the work (fingers crossed) and hopefully continue with the postal service while they sort things out.


I also wrote a FREE tutorial on how to use the Lace Maker to make dollhouse miniature laces easily. So if you are interested, you can check it out here.

Tomorrow I should have new photos up for another remake of the trio wedding cake ^^
I just love making those over and over again for now... :)

Revisiting the Dollhouse Miniature Ranunculus Flower

I first made the dollhouse miniature ranunculus flower back in 2012! You can read about that here and here.
Recently, I had the opportunity to revisit this flower, when a customer of mine requested for a custom bouquet of flowers and she requested for some ranunculus flowers.


One of the earlier shots when I first started this project. The pink planter wasn't distressed and there weren't other flowers.

And after I made the pink planter, I found it extremely handy to just place all the different colored flowers in there, as I could see what I was making.


That alone gave me an idea. The random stalks of flowers sitting in a planter actually looks pretty nice! Don't you think so? So I think that is my next project. I've been doing many bouquets, but I think this "messy" looking concept is pretty interesting too.


My customer didn't request for a work in progress photo. But after I took these photos, I wanted to share it with her. I was pleased with the colors. I never knew a photo could make someone happy. I am glad I sent it to her. :) Bringing someone joy through the work we do can truly be the best gifts we bring to the world. I believe in that.

Have a wonderful week all!

Dollhouse Cake - Peach Flower Naked Cake

This week, I continued experimenting with the peach color theme. The cake bases were made a while back, but I have been brainstorming for decorating ideas for a while and didn't come up with an idea until recently.

Since I was still obsessed with the peach color, I decided to go on with this color theme.

And I came up with this dollhouse cake!


It goes perfectly well with the trio peach cakes that I have made prior to this.


An example of a peach theme wedding dessert table. I am loving this! :)


As I am typing this, I'm also in the midst of making 1 more decoration item that goes along with this theme...
Am I crazy or what? I hope to show the pics soon when I have taken it.


Ending this post with a photo of the dollhouse peach flower naked cake in my hand!

Have a great week all! :)
