Tudor Fare this Christmas

Just a little commission someone asked me to do! I've made Tudor foods before and I was messaged and asked to make this new rustic board of cheeses, breads, fruit and meat pies. It's in one inch scale and everything was made by myself of course. The foods are polymer clay and mixed media, and the board is wood, hand-carved, stained and waxed.

New Bread Range Listed!

It was ages ago that I blogged about my new bread range ('in the making'), and finally I've had time to photograph it, write about it here and make it all available at my online Etsy shop here!

So, take a look at my handmade one inch scale (1:12) breads... from ciabatta, two kinds of baguettes, sourdough loaves and mini rolls, pumpernickel, olive bread and more...

POP ART Collection - Dishes

Can you *hear* the colour?! These unique hand-painted ceramic dishes are part of my new Pop Art Collection and a great way to bring some colour into your miniature scene during the drab season, don't you think?!

They have fancy French pastries (called religieuses) painted on them, so they'd look great in a swanky patisserie or cake shop, as well as a modern kitchen scene. Not sure what a religieuse pastry is? Click here for a previous post all about these classic French treats. :)

I'll be listing them tomorrow at my online shop, which as you know is at: www.hummingbirdminiature.etsy.com

Charlotte Cakes

Charlotte Cakes are so cool looking, aren't they?! If you actually haven't heard of a Charlotte cake (also known as a Charlotte Russe) then I'll fill you in. Popular across Europe, Charlotte cakes are made with custard and fruit (and sometimes a mousse filling) and surrounded by a circle of ladyfinger sponge biscuits or sweetened stale bread.

I always assumed it was an English dish because it has been suggsted that these cakes were named after Queen Charlotte (1744–1818), the wife of George III. That or the name comes from the mediaeval English word given to dishes made of custard which is 'charlyt'.
However, it seems that popular opinion sways towards the theory that this desert cake was created by an 18th century French chef. Who knows?! I have decided not to include it as part of either my 'Best of British' or my 'Fabulously French' ranges because of this ambiguity!

Anyway, I hope you like them. One is a classic strawberry design which I stole from a Waitrose cooking magazine and the 'Blush Pink' design is something I created with Valentine's Day in mind. Hence the chocolate heart. :) Available at my online shop now.

Cheese please!

With over 700 British cheeses made in the UK, boy did I miss English cheese when I lived in the US! Felt inspired to make some fun English cheese plates as part of my 'Best of British' range and here's some photos for you to see.
Stay tuned for glass-domed cheese boards to be added to my shop before long...
