About Me

My photo
I've been into dollhouse miniatures since the early 1990's now and when I realized how much I've learned during that time, I thought I'd make a blog to share my knowledge with others. I'm mostly auto-deduct, but always found help on the Internet and in specific books. The mini-world starts and ends with your own imagination, so let there be no limit. And never say : I CAN'T .... because you can, you just need to try and have the necessary know-how. And that's the main reason why I started this blog, because I wanna share what I know with newbies in the miniature world or anybody else who might be interested in sharing what I've learned so far. So, hopefully, I'll be able to provide some useful hints, tips and tricks for those of you out there just starting with this wonderful hobby

DIY Fimo Creations : Chocolates (Pralines)


Hi everybody

I'm still making polymer clay items for my french patisserie/bakery and today, it's all about these tiny little chocolates we all love so much ..... you know, the one's that remain on our hips for years ..... unimaginable how such a tiny thing can make that much dammage

πŸ˜†πŸ˜†πŸ˜†


Here are some chocolates (in french, they're called "pralines) made of chocolate, butter, sugar, cocoa, fruit and all sorts of other things. I put my finger next to them to give you an idea of how tiny they are. The one's here have half a slice of kiwi on top


Here are some more. Another kind of chocolate, mixed with caramel I added half a slice of orange, lemon or grapefruit on top.


Different shapes, different sorts of chocolate, white, dark and milk chocolate, with vanilla cream and almonds ..... the list is endless

I hope your mouth is already watering ..... haha, because there's more to come

Stay tuned

See ya .....

DIY Food (Polymer Clay) : Cakes, Cupcakes and more


Here's a closer view of my little cake, it has 5 layers (mix of chocolate and lemon) 
and I tried to make it look special by adding these chocolate trims all around as well as the roses and leaves (which I also made myself)


... and of course, I had to make a cake stand for this one
I think I will post a tutorial on how I made these cake stand ....  let me know if you're interested

πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•


Here are some of my cookies, all nicely arranged on the baking tray. 
It will be a nice addition to a dollhouse kitchen scene too, 
but I did of course use them in my french bakery


My Cupcakes ! 
OK, OK, I need some more practice, but they aren't that bad either, are they ???

A few are arranged on the baking tray, 
others on a cute little plate where I added some fresh fruit (I did not make these fruit canes !!)


Cupcakes (need some more practice there, I know)


Cakes and more


nicely displayed


chocolates and mini tarts


The cupcakes you see here were not made by me, I bought those, but I must say, allthough they are very pretty, I like my mini creations better, because they have more character

See ya soon again I hope
