Looks like I'll be photoshopping....

2009-09-22T16:49:00.001+01:00

I just noticed that the image on top of the page disapeared... I might guess that in my infinite distraction I must have deleted it on photobucket (as usual). This calls for a forced change :p

Into miniature flowers?! me??!!

2009-09-21T21:50:00.002+01:00

I spent my morning on this peony today. And all I have to say is that I really admire those who work on miniature flowers...

Raspberry Passion

2009-07-18T18:03:00.003+01:00

I was inspired by Betsy Niederer's PERFECT strawberry cakes to do this one. But since I suck with strawberries I tried making it with raspberries ( not that I'm much better with them LOOL). I'm going to bomb you all with images of this cake, but I found it hard to pick just one... Thank you so much Betsy for inspiring me everyday.

Rose & White

2009-07-18T17:55:00.004+01:00

I was in a mood for cakes a couple of weeks ago ( still have hand full of them to finish in my table LOL)... But when I took them off the oven I was so disapointed with the final result of the clay mixture... I needed some more translucent, that is for sure.
We all made mistakes...

Macaron Headache

2009-07-18T17:50:00.002+01:00

I freaked out making macarons... It's so hard to get a nice shape and texture on the shells. I'm really NOT happy with them... I tried molds, I tried doing them one by one... nothing works. So it's official: I suck at macarons and strawberries LOL

Less Is More

2009-07-18T17:46:00.002+01:00

For once I just wanted to try a simple cake, like those that I make every weekend... And I think this one is going straight to my dollhouse kitchen hehe

Tea?

2009-07-18T17:40:00.004+01:00

Another couple of things for my dollhouse. I have to say an enourmous THANK YOUUU! to Christel Jensen and her amazing tutorial on youtube on how to make the beautiful tea pot with the porcelaine handle.

Here's some detail on the coffee cookies:

making the coffee beans just killed my eyes LOOL I though I was going blind!

Hugs!

Back in... White?!

2009-07-18T17:32:00.002+01:00

Hi all! I've been busy lately and also having some technical difficulties, my mac is giving me some headaches!
I recenty received my dollhouse and found everything... horrible. I got nuts with it all, from the furniture to the wallpapers, the accessories, so I'm remodeling it! Although this is not food I thought I should share what i've been doing with all of you so I could have some opinions that are not from my mom, boyfriend and friends who all say "ooohhh it's beautifull", naturally because they like me LOOOL.
Huge Hug!

A Gift...

2009-04-22T22:05:00.003+01:00

Hello!! I've been busy this weekend doing this, still haven't got time to answer your lovely comments, I'm so sorry! I'm going to work on that after the post ;)

Well, I think I don't need to say I did everything, you all know how I lovee to put my hands to work ehehe!
The rose is terrible, but it was my first try at roses and using cold porcelain...:/

Thank you all so much for all the feedback and hope you like this one ;)

Huge hugs*********

Lemon Cupcakes

Also made de cake stand and the little crochet towel ( I know, I don't have a lot of talent with the crochet thing, LOL I guess I'll leave that to my mom :p )

These last few months....

2009-04-05T20:09:00.003+01:00

... Were to start?! Well, I won't be writtting you about everything that happened during this time ( You'll get either crazy or extremelly bored LOL) so, I'll cut some parts and say that I've been busy pretty much with university, family and moving :p (you know how these 3 things combined with some bad luck can get your life into a real mess LOOL).
So these are just a couple of words to say what's being happening, that I am back, to thank you all so much for the lovely comments and for keeping looking at the blog despite my absence!

Autumn Red

2008-09-15T01:30:00.002+01:00

Well... Any of the photos I posted here represent a finished work...
The candy apple is one of some I've made for a halloween table that is giving me a big "too much ideas" headache, but maybe by the end of the week I'll get it done and post it. : )
The cake is not going to have a huuuge transformation, just going to perfect some details on the cherries.
Hope everybody likes it.

Feels like Summer...

2008-08-09T21:28:00.004+01:00

Indeed summer is out there, everywhere...Since this year it looks like I can't enjoy it the way I usually do (beach all day, summer festivals, pool...) I always have my minis to help me get a bit of summer taste when I have my little study or archicad session breaks. ;)
