Hearts and Valentines

I know today is the 4th of December and the christmas tree is up in the corner of the room but I am thinking ahead and making minis. I work full time as well as making dolls house food so there's only so much time I have to make things. 

So yesterday and today I started on valentines things or more precisely a few hundred hearts in different colours, the bottle tops are the perfect size to hold everything in. 

I'm quite impressed with the strawberry halves which will make their way onto tarts and pies. They are very small - around 3mm long and quite fiddly to make. I tried using sandpaper for the texture on the outside of the fruit but I wasn't happy so I went for the 'stab lots of times with a needle' method. 



This morning was spent making my first few cakes and tarts and this is the results. Plenty more to do but I'll spend the rest of today making more strawberry halves as I think I'll need a few for my valentines and other spring ideas.

  2. Keep trying thats my motto. I have a few things that I made years ago which now look awful but I won't get rid of them because it also shows how far I've improved.
