Happy New Year to all my mini friends! Here's to a wonderful * * 2012 * * ahead of us. I hope you all enjoy it. :)
I'd also like to thank all my followers for your consistent interest in my work and for your feedback, comments and for purchasing my miniature food. It's because of your support that I have been building a budget to make a miniature film (a short film made using miniature sets and plasticine-esq characters - like 'Wallace & Gromit' / 'Nightmare Before Christmas'). If you're interesting in following my progress as I create my first mini movie then find the link below.

Merry Christmas from Hummingbird Miniatures!

I hope you all had fabulous holidays and enjoyed your time off work and eating far too much! I know I did. It's great being back home and seeing all 5 of my siblings and their partners, eating my mum's brilliant food and playing with the new kittens my parents have.

Here's some snaps of the Hummingbird Miniatures' Christmas scene this year. As you probably know I moved house from Los Angeles, California all the way to the English countryside (will be in London very soon) so I didn't have the chance to create too much of an extensive new Christmas range this year, but I'll make up for it next year with a huge new range and offer great discounts!

... See you in 2012 - woohoo!!

150 Baguettes - what a Custom Order!

Yep - a tall order it was too!
A lovely lady from Paris needed 150 baguettes - half of them baked and half 'raw' in appearance. I started making them as soon as I got over my jet-lag after landing in England from LA. Took a few snaps for people's interest. :)

If you're ever interested in buying from me in bulk then be sure to drop me an email (contact info is here) and I'll be happy to oblige. I offer hefty discounts to people buying in bulk. :)

Here's my bread, and more bread, and more bread....

All one inch scale.

Frosty cake with Snowman Candy

Also known as my Merry Berry Christmas Cake! I've got a few left and if you live in the UK you might just be able to get it in time for Christmas if you purchase it from my online shop in the next day or so. But no guarantees I'm afraid!

Lovingly handmade by myself in one inch (1:12) scale, this little white frosted cake has a truly tiny candy snowman, chocolate star, candy cane and holly sprig. Finished with a red satin ribbon in the classic good old fashioned English way... ;)

Dish it up this Christmas

Hand-painted by myself - these little Christmas Dishes are in one inch scale (naturally!) Find them at my online shop throughout Dec and order soon if you don't live in the UK and want one in time for Christmas!

Took these photos just before I left Los Angeles... miss that sunshine! Look at it spilling onto the scene. Well, we'll just have to see how my photos start to look now that they'll be taken in the UK!!

Peppermint Candy

Still in time for Christmas... Peppermint Candy in a Fine Glass Jar.

The jar is hand-blown glass and is filled with candy, tied with a silk bow and finished with a gold Christmas Tree gift tag. 1:12 (one inch) scale and I only made one, so if you like it then find it here :)

Hope everyone's staying wrapped up and warm. Not too cold here in my part of Blighty, although I did step straight in a puddle on my way to the only pub in this teeny village! The pub had a log fire though and the locals here are great. Funny thing is - everyone thinks I'm American. Guess 2.5 years living in LA changed my accent a tad and I didn't even realise...
