Donuts

I finally got my lazy self to make donuts in all scales for this photo shoot- but looks like Maru isn't too happy!

1:3, 1:6 and 1:12

I also decided to change my bakery shop into a donut shop- I will post more photos of the very empty shop later in the week.

Also, today is the last day to enter my giveaway! I will announce the winner tomorrow :)

1:6 Crayons

(The rainbow and the house is the only thing I know how to draw...)

I finally had a chance to take a comparison photo with the 1:6 and 1:12 crayon sets. Enjoy!

AG doll food 1:3 scale

It is always fun to make 1:3 scale food since it's sooooo much bigger than 1:12 scale. 1:3 scale items take up a lot of clay so you have to be consistent with the colors, but the good thing is that it doesn't hurt your eyes as much!

Make sure to enter my giveaway below if you haven't done so!

Giveaway

 I made a special succulent vintage pot to give away. To participate, please leave a comment below and (if possible) where you would display this pot in your mini home! A winner will be announced on May 1st. Good Luck!

Balloon Animals

I've been making a lot of non-food minis lately, and it's because I ran out of foods to make. I am always asking the hubs for ideas and I think it drives him crazy! Anywho, I wanted to make Maru a toy, so I made her a Jeff Koons inspired (he was probably inspired by the actual balloon) poodle balloon.

The ones behind the poodles are giraffes. Making them was trickier than I expected, but I somehow managed to find the perfect amount of liquid clay so the neck/head doesn't plop. *These are made from polymer clay.

Enjoy your weekend!

Chalk and Crayons

Chalks

Do you like the drawings? The house is how I used to draw every picture in my sketchbook...I guess I had little imagination.

Etsy Front Page

My "vintage" planter made it to the front page at 5 in the morning.....while I was sleeping...

You know something is wrong when there are more than 5 favorites on an item you have listed days ago. So I checked my stats and noticed the numbers for today looked like my week stats, so I checked the vault! Thank god for this useful site, you can check all the past etsy front pages.

It is a little embarassing though to have a plant go up on front page instead of food. Maybe I should change my name to Minnie Garden ;P

Crawfish and Stone Crab Claws

Crawfish Boil

crawfish (crayfish), potatoes, corn

I can't wait to try the real ones. I saw it once on travel channel and boy do they look delicious!

Stone Crab claws

Flower Cakes for the Weekend

Have you ever tried edible flowers? I tried it when I was in kindergarten and I remember making sure with my teacher that I wasn't going to die by eating flowers :)

The baby blue reminds me of the marie antoinette movie- remember the baby blue converse?

Also made one in pink!

And a group shot with Maru.

Have a sweet weekend!

Cheese

Cheese display- the wood is not finished and a plexiglass is in front of it to keep it sanitary :)

I wasn't familiar with most cheeses, so google search helped me a lot (like it usually does) lol!

I upgraded my cheese display with more cheese and signs inserted in them.

I found a perfect glass dome to display my cheese in!

Some basic cheese on a tray with figs~

Rainbow

I made the hello kitty cake that has been going around pinterest- if someone made me a real one I would have died!

I made sure a slice had kitty's red ribbon.

I also tried making the rainbow lollipop they sell at Disney World.

1:3 scale

Angry Birds

I made some angry bird cookies for a customer in 1:12 scale. I am very bad at making or drawing anything with eyes, but angry birds are somewhat simple looking! It also helped that they were flat cookies instead of 3D cupcakes :)

This one is 1:3 scale for an American Girl doll collector.

Next cookie character is Kermit! Did you guys watch the new muppets movie? It's awesome!

Veggies

Maru's weekday job selling vegetables...

I got a veggie crate request in quarter scale. My eyes almost became cross-eyed by the time I finished, but I love how it's sooooo small! Oh, and all the veggies were loose, so me being me, I of course had to drop it on the floor (which is carpet) and had to do a massive search for 20 minutes.

I also made a garlic braid which is very fun to make!

Succulent Plants

I fell in love with succulent plants after seeing them at a furniture/home interior store, so I had to make it in mini.

This actually made it to the front page of etsy!!

You don't know how excited I was! I kept checking my shop stats and number of favorites every other second...literally :)

My best selling plant.

I was able to find a bigger pot, so made one in 1:3 scale for my AG doll collectors.

Welcome to minniekitchen.com!

Hello everyone! I am back (it took quite a bit!) with a new address- www.minniekitchen.com

For the few posts, I will be posting up minis that I have been making since I last updated...

Thank you for coming back to visit my blog!

I have been wanting to make miniature candy boxes everytime I walked through the candy section in the target aisle- finally did it!

Maru found a new job- selling candy!

Closer look: I also made the candies to go inside the boxes.

Although this is not my favorite candy (can't stand the spice in licorice!) this is my favorite in mini. Real scale, 1:3 scale and 1:12 scale.

 This is my upgraded version of my s'mores prep board. Looking back at my original one makes me cringe...can I say embarassssssing!

I have been making some prep boards, and realized that I needed a lot of butter, eggs, and flour.....so I made a baker's supply collection. But the genius I am, I took the photo without the sugar box...I guess that could be a "sweet" surprise for the customers!
