Cupid's HALF OFF sale!

Happy St Valentine's Day everyone!
To celebrate this lovely day I am offering everyone 50% off on my Valentine's Cupcake Tutorial! My online shop remains closed at this time (and for perhaps another few days or a week whilst I am busy moving into a new apartment in LA), however, you can still shop for online tutorials (and at my other shop here too) and today you can buy my Valentine's tutorial for half price.

Just click here to find the PDF tutorial and apply the coupon code CUPID13 after you click to buy but before you pay. It will be emailed to you today. Please note that all other items are still off limits as I wont be able to ship items for about a week, so don't buy anything else until I officially re-open.
Coupon code expires at midnight tonight PST.

Thanks and have a great day today! C x

Your Wedding cake in Miniature

I just realized I never shared these photos of a fun commission I undertook last summer (2012). It was for a client's son's wedding cake and she wanted it recreated in half inch scale. The cake had red roses around each level, chocolate sauce dripping down the sides and a diamante letter 'D' on the top. Very pretty, quite unusual.

Fun challenge. I was delighted to recreate this cake for her. Have a look at the photo below showing the original alongside it.

If you ever want your wedding cake re-created in miniature then drop me an email and I'd be happy to discuss it. Meanwhile, here's some of my other wedding cakes I have made...

The Hummingbird has Landed

Hello everyone,
Yes I know... it's been absolutely ages since you heard from me and my online Hummingbird Miniatures shop remains closed at this time... sorry!

As you probably know, I had to close this shop (and other shop) for a few weeks whilst I had the messy move from NZ to UK to US with plenty of Embassy meetings, packing, flying and landing going on around this time. Well... the Hummingbird has landed! 

So, please note that Hummingbird Miniatures is back in Los Angeles, California and will be re-opening in just a few more days (keep your eye on this blog, or the shop or on the Facebook page so you know when) and I'll be launching some fun new miniature food ranges, furniture, a free-to-enter competition and a new coupon to apologize for my absence!

As usual, feel free to email me if you have any questions!
Warmest wishes, Caroline
