Was chuffed to see one of my new miniature birthday cakes in this month's issue of 'The Dolls House Magazine'! You can find your copy of this fantastic UK publication here.

This is the cake they featured.

Don't forget, I will be selling a whole new range of cakes over at my Hummingbird Miniatures online Etsy shop very soon, and until then I am selling them direct to customers who contact me by email.

Dreamworks Birthday!

I know it's been a while since I blogged here at Hummingbird Miniatures. It's been a busy year, and I often have time only to update my 'Caroline blog' or it's Facebook page these days. You can get updates more often by following those pages. :)

Anyway, recently a friend of mine had a birthday. He happens to be the Lead Concept Artist for Dreamworks, so I wanted make him my best ever miniature cake, with my new, incredibly tiny and 'unbreakable' candles*. I made the little wooden tray for it and painted the little knife with my Hummingbird Miniatures signature dots!

If you'd like a perfectly detailed tiny little birthday cake like this (or want to design your own), then send me an email or leave a comment, or find me through the Hummingbird Miniatures Facebook Page here.

* My new unbreakable candles are made using a different method and medium than I have used in the past. Because they are no longer made using polymer clay, they don't snap easily. They are handmade by myself to a high standard and are possibly the smallest miniature candles on the market. I call them 'unbreakable' because they do not break easily. If you drop your cake then the chances are the candles will not break. However, if you try to break them then I am sure you will succeed!

Cake for Cake's Sake

I am flying to England today for my sister's wedding, and I'm super excited about it! But I just wanted to share something new with you all before I fly off. I have been working on some new cake trays of all kinds and here's some photos of a finished one. It's a blue cake on a wooden painted tray and it has one of my signature Hummingbird Miniatures dotty forks. I made the trays and everything else you see.

If you're interested in purchasing one of my new cake trays (don't forget you can personalize them - choose the colour, have a birthday cake with candles / a black forest cake / a cake like this blue one with strawberries etc etc) then just email me or leave a comment and I'll arrange a commission. They're so cute and tiny (approx 1.5 " in width) and make a perfect unique gift - even for someone who does not have a dollhouse.

Don't forget about my new range of birthday cakes, coming to my online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop soon!

Take a look at my 'work in progress' on this new 'Cake Tray' range below!

Yet more new Cakes

My last post (here) about miniature cakes seemed to go down very well as I have had many commissions for various birthday cakes in various colours since! I will be showing all kinds here on this blog as I make more in every colour and style you can dream up.

For now, here are two latest ones. A re-design on the classic Pink Birthday cake which I became so well known for 5 years ago. This customer asked for it to be as you see below (cut open, little drips in the frosting, pink and white striped candles). However, I don't think this is how I will start re-listing them at my online Hummingbird Miniatures Etsy shop. I think I will make the new ones with rainbow candles as before. But please note how much SMALLER and refined my candles are!

Don't forget that you can email me for a commission, you can find my shop here, you can request wholesale prices and you can follow what's going on over at Hummingbird by liking the Facebook page here!
