Easter FEATURE in American Miniaturist

I was thrilled to be featured along with some really talented artisans in the Easter edition of American Miniaturist Magazine this season (2012)! They used photos from my seasonal range of last year. Scroll down and have a look.



They also used a blueberry cheesecake and tiramisu I made and photographed back in 2010.
All thanks to Martha!

P.S. Wish they hadn't spelled my name incorrectly, especially as they made no mention of my company name either...  ;)

My Inspiration

Hi everyone!
Just got back from Cancun, Mexico today! Wow... hours and hours of traveling but so, so worth it. I had a wonderful time, it was so hot, I swam with sea turtles, snorkeled with colourful tropical fish in the Caribbean Sea, saw ancient Mayan temples, and stayed at the Ritz-Carlton (the hotel made a mistake and thus upgraded us from the Marriott hotel!! Lucky us).

So, I hope everyone else has had a good week. My shop is now back online and business has resumed as usual. :)

For fun, I thought you might like to see some of my photos of real food which I use for reference. I often just use them as inspiration rather than a basis to create an exact replica. Coming up with slightly different designs is more fun. Let me know what you think...
Hugs, Caroline xXx

Ready for Springtime Desserts?!

It's getting quite summery here in Los Angeles, and if you read my recent post (here) on my other blog you'll understand why I'm remarking on it!
I sat outside in my local bakery / cafe and watched the Oscars last night under the stars - it was so lovely and mild.

So all this is putting me in the mood to make more springtime / summery desserts. I'll post some after I've shared Easter 2011 with you. Until then, here's a look back at some from 2010. :)
