baking day - in mini!

hi all!

pezza and i have done some baking!  mini baking. i love to dabble in polymer clay - pardo by viva decor is my hands down favorite.  making mini food looks so fun.  and it is all so adorable.  and expensive.  so i came across a tutorial on you tube for a cherry pie. for the most part i HATE video tutorials.  but this one was so good i proceeded to watch her videos and cruise her website for most of the morning!

pezza and i got to work and here is what we came up with:

 pezza made the pancakes and was QUITE tickled with herself i might add.  she also made the scrambled eggs and hardboiled eggs.

here are my pies.  not exactly the way i envisioned but not bad for my first try at it!  i am especially proud of the apple pie.  i wanted to cut a piece out and put it on a plate but i was not quite sure i could manage it.  maybe next time......next we hope to make some cakes and breads!

do you have a favorite place for tutorials on making mini food?

Punkins!

oh i have been absent far too long!  i hope to get back on track now that Pezza is in school again!  i am also feeling my annual burst of renewed energy and vigor now that the mornings are getting a bit crisper!


i have lots to write about but for today a quick post to show you something i made for a swap i joined on the All Things Miniature yahoo group for halloween:

*squeal* oh how i love when something turns out just the way i pictured in my head!  These are done by hand with Pardo Polymer clay (by far the easiest polymer clay to work with.)  I was partially guided by a tutorial in a book I have called The Sculpey Way with Polymer Clay.  Excellent book - i highly recommend it!

i sure hope my swap partners like them - can't wait to see what arrives in return!
