Treats to leave out for Santa!

Have you caught the scent of freshly baked cookies from the Hummingbird kitchen yet?! I've just made available a brand new range or assorted cookies and candy on little handpainted dishes. Only one of each!

* As featured in the Christmas issue of 'Dolls House & Miniature Scene' magazine!*

All of the candy is entirely handmade by me (I never buy pre-made canes) and I make the cookies as realistic as possible through dedication to detail. There are gingerbread men, tree shaped cookies, chocolate chip cookies, ginger cookies, German loveheart cookies (Lebkuchen) and checkerboard cookies. The old fashioned candy and candy canes are very detailed and made to my own designs.

Hop over to my online Hummingbird Miniatures shop and find my OOAK (one of a kind) cookie plates before they go. Get them now and they'll be sent out very promptly to have the best chance of arriving in time for Christmas. :)

Christmas plates of Cookies

Christmas treats left out for Father Christmas! (or Santa Claus if you're in the US or Canada... Père Noël in France, Papá Noel in Spain and South America, Babbo Natale in Italy, Christmas Father in India etc. etc....)

I'll be listing a wonderful new range of handpainted plates of cookie selections with sweets, candy canes and clementines. You may have already caught a glimpse of some of these new miniatures for Christmas 2012 in this month's issue of Doll's House & Miniature Scene, in which I was featured and given the front cover.
Coming soon. :)

Shop News!............................................................................

Hummingbird Miniatures has re-opened after a few days closure whilst I packed up my entire apartment and workshop and left New Zealand (after a 5 month stay there). You can find my online shop here.

Thank you for your patience whilst I took a little longer to re-open than planned. The 30 hour flight (pausing in Auckland and then Hong Kong along the way) was fine but on arrival in Heathrow, London, I found that one of the large suitcases containing my miniatures, tools and craft supplies had split right open and there was a gaping hole in it! All's fine now and the airline even sent me a brand new suitcase. 

New Christmas miniatures will be made available in store very soon, I promise. 

Please also note that Hummingbird Miniatures will be stationed in the UK for a few weeks and then returning to California, USA after that. :)

Christmas Cookie Prep Board

Only made one of these, and it's super cute! It's a shabby-chic red prep board with Christmas Tree cookies, frosting, a cookie cutter and hand-painted dishes. The coffee cup has whipped cream and a candy cane stirrer.

Find my Christmas Cookie Prep Board at my online shop here. :)

Candy and Cookies for Halloween

I had so much fun creating unique cookie cutters this Halloween! I made them in the shapes of a bat, coffin, Frankenstein's monster and pumpkin. You wont find these anywhere else. :)
I also used a bought cookie cutter in the shape of a gingerbread man to make skeleton cookies.

Icing them was much more fun. All one inch scale as usual and available at my online shop here.

Hope you like them!







I also re-vamped my candy ghosts (or meringue more accurately) from Halloween 2010 as they seemed to be so popular. So I have 6 of these left and you can find them here.

Skeleton Cookies

You often see gingerbread men iced as skeletons in bakeries in England during Halloween, so I had fun making these chocolate Skeleton Cookies. I also made them as earrings, which you've probably already seen me blog about. :)

I'd also like to say thank you to everyone who has given me some comfort over the past 2 days. I found out that my cat died yesterday... he was only 13 and been with me since he was a kitten. He was hit by a car, and being in America I wasn't there when it happened (he was in England), so it was pretty devestating. Oh well.... I'll get over it eventually. :)

Mini hugs,
Caroline
