NEW Halloween Miniatures! - Halloween 2012

 It is FINALLY happening! Halloween items have been listed! :D I am still making more, so hang in tight! I mainly wanted to get some of this photographed and listed as soon as I could!

I listed all of my cakes- 


There are orange, green, purple, and chocolate iced cakes. They are all available in classic yellow or chocolate cake.


A cake box is included with each cake! These boxes were designed, hand cut, and hand assembled by me! Yay!


Here is an overview of all the party cakes-


OH! I also listed some new doughnuts- to match the cakes, of course! :D


ANNNDDDDD.....  I made some pumpkins! I haven't had a chance to make any more jack o'lanterns, but I will get to that soon!


Jelly beans. Color coordinated, as well! 


This is something new... Bunting banners! This is very new for me, but I really like how these turned out! I made three designs- polka dots, stripes, and candy corn! I haven't listed the candy corn ones yet because they go with something else I am working on :)




And here are some shots of the cakes in their boxes!




I hope you all like everything! I know there are a few of you out there that want some candy corn, and I am hard at work making some more! They are SO SO tiny that it literally HURTS to sit still for so long to make them. Please feel free to check out my Etsy.

Have a great day!

Making progress :)

GOODNESS. Working on these paper things takes forever! Today I covered a lot of ground- I cut out all of the candy labels/tags and I cut out all the cake boxes! I almost have them glued- I have about half left. I wish they hadn't taken me so long to make them, but I basically didn't do ANYTHING the other day because I had a really bad headache :(


The above image is the finished candy labels and also the boxes cut out. I designed everything on the computer myself from scratch, except for the AWESOME decoration around my name on the top of the boxes. This design is one of the Photoshop brushes the lovely Lileya . She has tons of other things she has made and they are all free to use as long as you give her credit and don't take credit for them yourself. I would really love to draw up my own some time, but I don't have enough time to design them and STILL get all of the Halloween things listed. 

Here are some detail shots of the cake boxes. They will have some thread wrapped around them to keep them closed :)



I am so happy to show you this next picture! There was a sale at Micheal's Craft Store this week- ALL polymer clay was 99 cents a block. 99 CENTS A BLOCK. Can you believe that? That's almost a third of the original price! Needless to say I got about 25 blocks of it. I wanted to get some more so bad, but I am running low on funds lately :)


Thanks so much for stopping by and reading! I will hopefully have some more pictures of minis up soon. I didn't expect to take this long on the paper goods!

Working hard! - Halloween Update!

Hello everyone! I have been very very busy working away at the NEW Halloween spread! I am making candies, cakes, pumpkins, and many other goodies! Today, however, I took a break from clay and started working with some paper....


As you can see in the image above, I prepped some clay today for something new! You can see the colors, but can you guess what those pieces of clay will turn in to?

In the image below, you can see that I am working on some packages! I am making cake boxes that will be included with each Halloween Party Cake! And I am also making some package labels/tags for some candy I will be making!


I pretty much spent all day on these paper items. I had to design them on the computer, print them out ( to the right size and detail), cut them, and.... oh wait. Haha! I have to glue them tomorrow! :D Hopefully that won't take TOO long. I will be making a special trip to one of my favorite craft stores tomorrow because they are having an AWESOME sale and hopefully I can get some materials! If I manage to get a lot of goodies, I will do some sort of haul for you guys!

Thanks so much for stopping by, I appreciate it very much!
