Ice Cream Scooops :)

A Birthday Gift - Sylvanian Families Cake Shop Set!


See how the macaron tower fits in :) 

Although the display is smaller, I'll have to make do until I learn how to make one :| The display case is too big :(

Will try to fill up the display case.. Probably can only fill up 2 cakes per level :( Right now the cakes look really fake :'(


ICE CREAM! I was making some sweets deco ice cream, and took a teensy weensy bit out :D


Yea I did'nt bother to texture them.. It was for fun!


Its a bit oversized too :(

Well, I'm obsessed with the whole ice cream thingy now so i'm going to make a prep board for that! 
(Another reason is to use up modena clay.. but it makes me nauseous and gives me a split headache :( )

-Sophie Code still there-

P.S Will not be posting often due to blocktests and cca! 

XOXO, Moo Moo Cow

MORE Sweets Deco!

Why Hi! Before the pictures, I got myself a nice little tumblr. I don't really like it now as its pretty slow. So I'll see if I update it. Its all about crafts but there's lesser pictures ;) Its more simple and its all about the photos. the link is http://moomoominiatures.tumblr.com/ and I'll link it here later :D

Remember the stuff I bought from artfriend? I bought 3 (one of them's the photo frame) and heres the other two plus an iphone cover I bought from korea but was deemed too ugly.



Its a little box, which can be pulled out from the side :)


The theme is green and yellow! I use it to keep more sweets deco pieces etc. ice cream scoops inside :)


Giant Clothespeg! I thought it was ultra cute so I bought it :) there were bigger ones but....more ex


I ran out of silicon, so I have to do the other side next time! The other side will be blue sweet and pink macarons! I decided not to cover the whole thing for practicality matters :D


Its really fail! I was'nt working well with silicon, so only some could squeeze out "seeable" shells. So I used a tooth pick to spread the silicon, so now its really ugly :( And the side nearest to you, is ruined due to that :( 

This lighting makes it look better :) But I think it does'nt have a nice overall theme since there wasn't good planning unlike my two wood work :)



Haha another kind of lighting. Told u the pipping was bad :(

I shall see if my friend wants it. If she does'nt, I'll throw it into the stash of "maybe I'll look back and see how bad I was last time".

Might put the clothespeg into the "gift for friends birthday" stash :D

I'm keeping the box for myself, love the colour combination, not your usual pinky and purply and girly style!

I will try out the whipped cream ($10.95 at robinsons) when I go around there :) Nowadays I spas whenever I smell silicon. And it stinks my house and my room. I am so going to die of a respiratory illness.

Can't wait to go to Art friend to get more awesome wood stuff to deco! In the meantime, I'll work on some miniature projects and ban myself from sweets deco other than finishing my clothespeg :) I need to finish up what I bought before buying more, cause my mom's already nagging that all my moneys going out and non is coming in :(
P.S God Bless Japan, I do hope that the situation will get better :)

Sweets Deco Frame!

Was inspired by sweet and tiny :) so I thought I could try out deco-ing a photo frame :) Its for a teacher and she said it was gorgeous so I am happy!

Anyways, its my first try at a photo frame so don't expect too much.

And Sweets and Gems and Ribbons!

i have to say I am mighty pleased with it :)

I ought to start on more miniatures. But Sweets Deco is really more convenient and not so mind-wrecking! Ah well, I'm working on a ice cream display but it might fail :X so no promises for blogpost on that! Maybe I should start working on cakes/pastries. I am quite at a loss of what to do XD

P.S Sophie and Toffee Code still available...

P.S Pray for Japan, I hope they'll be fine!

Macarons, Paper Bag!

Hi! Finally found time to blog these. I had been busy and as I am sick today, I skipped school and now that I feel better I decided to post. I finally went to Art Friend and it was a disaster but you don't have to know that :) I won't be posting on it so a summary is : I bought some wood thingys to deco (you'll see them in upcoming posts), some PVC boards, wood, glue and ribbons for the macaron tower. I also wasted $7 there. It was a horrible spendthrift day and looking back on it I bet I wasted at least 30 bucks during the entire shopping trip.

I finally finally finished this up, I got so sick of popping macarons shells I am amazed I finished it >< 



Looks like the tower is almost as tall as baby Kelly :D


Macaron tower measures 4 cm in height, 3.5 cm in base diameter. Each macaron shell is awfully small :)

Well this time was quite a fun experience. Popping macaron shells while watching tv haha! Also I learned one very important fact:

The cone of the tower is awfully important. This tower's was really uneven and gross :( If you look through the top, it revealed some crappy clay :P Anyways it caused alot of trouble, and the uneven base gave me headaches. As you can see the bottom row is wrapped in a ribbon. It was supposed to be covered in macarons but ya :( Even when appplying the ribbon, it took me 2 tries and 2 ribbons to do it. I'll have to throw away a cone I did together with this :(

As you can see in the pictures, there is also a paperbag! I did it in between classes! It was fun and when I have more time I'll mass produce it. I use the dimensions of a tutorial as my math brain never fails to fail me. Anyway, the tutorial can be found in the "tutorials" tab so check it out!


P.S No one has asked for the referral code yet! I think it gives a 10-20% discount so please ask it from me or it'll just expire and die :(

XOXO,
