Christmas in July!!




Ok, I know it's just the beginning of summer,(although it's very much like a mild winter here, April showers, thunderstorms, etc), but I have been busy in my workroom creating new seasonal minis to be exhibited at the Autumn fairs I will be attending. I was flicking through some old photos of when I began miniature making and came across a few non-food minis that have inspired me to make these two cute little bears :0) I am now inspired even further to make more!! My work desk is full of mini bears in the making & my head is bursting full of ideas, I just hope that when they are all finished they look just as good in reality as they do in my imagination!! :0)

Another of my favourites to make is Wedding cakes, where once again I can let my imagination run riot!! Last year I was first contacted by American artisan Martha Puff who was putting together a feature for the summer edition of 'Dollshouse & Miniatures Scene' featuring all things summery & she wanted me to create a summer-style wedding cake. I eagerly obliged & not only did I create a summer fruits wedding cake but I also created a summer fruits 'grooms' cake to accompany it!!

One of my favourite miniatures to make has to be the 'Mad Hatter' style cakes, you can be as creative & imaginative as you like. My very first Mad Hatter cake, that I created many years ago, was a miniature replica of a full-size birthday cake, that I found while browsing the internet & was totally in awe of it. Since then I have let my imagination run wild.

Being very busy recently & have neglected my blog, tut tut!! Making new minis to be exhibited at the Autumn fairs that I will be attending & catching up with commissions. My favourite minis to make at the moment seem to be none food items, including some very colourful dragons.
