Care for Christmas Cupcakes?

I hardly ever make miniature cupcakes as I find them so fiddly, but I've made some very cute ones for this Christmas, and hope you like them! They're one inch scale, have paper cases and different candies on top - all handmade by myself.

I will be making them available at my online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop tomorrow. I am selling them individually.

PS If you'd prefer to make your own cupcakes instead of buying one of my handmade cakes, then why not follow my cupcake tutorial and try it yourself?!

Happy Valentine's Day

To-morrow is Saint Valentine's day,
All in the morning betime,
And I a maid at your window,
To be your Valentine.
Then up he rose, and donn'd his clothes,
And dupp'd the chamber-door;
Let in the maid, that out a maid
Never departed more.

~ William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act IV, Scene 5

Yes, as Ophelia said in Hamlet, tomorrow's the time for romance...

Being English, I couldn't let St Valentine's Day pass without acknowledging it with some special new (occasionally pink or heart-themed) miniatures, as seen in the image above. You can find these Valentine's items at my online shop.
You see we Brits love to celebrate this day; just under half the population of the UK will be receiving cards or flowers tomorrow (apparently) and it all goes back to Geoffrey Chaucer who first associated the saint's day with romance in the Middle Ages.

Hope you all have wonderful days. Stay tuned (as I mentioned in my last post) as I am going to do a fun new free-to-enter competition very soon with a fabulous mini to be won. ;)

Cupcake Dish

Whilst painting my Easter Dishes I decided to use some of the pretty pastel coloured paints I'd mixed up to paint some non-seasonal dishes to keep in the Kitchenware section of my shop. So here's my little Cupcake Dish. It's pretty detailed - the cupcake has tiny sprinkles on it and everything is finished with highlights of silver. Only 2.1 cm. :)
