Some Mini Baked Goods!

I am BEYOND happy to finally have some of these baked items done! Not only are a few pies done, but I have some new doughnuts to share along with a new Halloween assorted set! Take a look?!

These pies are currently listed in my shop. You can find them HERE. As for my doughnuts... I ended up making quite a bit! I flocked some with craft sand and it looks just like sugar! Yay! I then made them look like they were filled with jelly! On the right, you can see an iced version!

I also made some chocolate ones! Whenever we go get donuts, I always get at least one chocolate iced one. They are my favorite! :)

And finally, here is the new Halloween set! I wanted to have a wider range of textures this year, so I added a sugared doughnut and played around with the icing on one.

I think it looks like a spider-web! And it even has blood jelly on the inside! Haha!

As always, thanks for stopping by! I am so happy I got to make some minis this week! And I still have the rest of today and tomorrow! :) I hope you all are doing well!

Trip to the Apple Orchard!

Today my family and I went to Sky Top apple orchard in the next state over. We already had plenty of apples from my trip the other day, but we went just for fun. The orchard was HUGE! And they didn't just have apples- but that's all we went for.

Right when we walked into the building to get a basket and check out the prices, I saw THIS! It was a miniature display of an apple stand! You can click on it to get a better view.

The mini display got me thinking... thinking to do some apple orchard-inspired miniatures! Something else I found inspiring was how hands-on everyone at the orchard was. There were people making pies, sorting apple, making DOUGHNUTS! I forgot to take a picture of those... I was too excited to eat them. Hahaha!

 There were also some peach trees! We passed them as we went to go find the apples we were looking for.

Maybe I will try to go back soon, because I had a ton of fun!

Now I am going to relax for the rest of the day! Gotta get back to work tomorrow! :) Thanks for reading!

this week at the bazaar!

It's Friday already?!?!?! Where does the week go?! I feel like just yesterday I post last week's wrap up!

Oh well! Lately there is always something going on at the Bazaar so let's get to it!

1.) Today I tried my hand at making a butterfly cane! Not only was it more complicated than I expected, it took forever! Haha!

This wasn't just something random, either. There is a shop that opened up in town called The Blu Butterfly. I met the owner some time ago through Etsy when I was playing around with Etsy shop banners and stuff. I made her a whole branding package and we have still ~kinda~ kept contact over this whole time.

Anyways, I made this cane so that I could make some earrings and pins and maybe even some charms or beads - all for The Blu Butterfly! This is actually the practice cane, but I am gonna make some example pieces with it so I can go show the owner and see what she thinks!

These almost look like drawings to me... which makes me like them even more!

I still want to play around with what I can do with the cane. Like I said before: earrings, pins, beads, charms, magnets (?).... Anyone have any other ideas?

2.) I also practiced my pumpkins this week! (Shout-out to Jenny who loves pumpkins!) I made them different colors other than orange because I want to have a wider variety this year than I did last year - I can't wait to start on Autumn minis!

3.) We also can't forget about my little watermelons! Which, by the way are listed HERE in my Etsy shop.

4.) There was also the Ombre Cakes and Sprinkle Cakes from the beginning of the week!

5.) I also have been practicing on some fruit! I am having a lot of fun with these, most likely because I have never made many fruits before- so you can expect some fruits to be listed in the Etsy shop soon! Haha! But only after I am happy with how everything looks. In this next image I was playing around with the translucency, hue, and size of each fruit.

6.) I also got a request on Etsy for a set of custom cake boxes. The customer wanted a teal box with little white stars- here is what I came up with!

7.) I know I already made one point about the fruit, but one thing I am SUPER happy with is my blueberries and the little basket! I can't wait to make more of these and have them sitting on my produce stand!

8.) I cut my hair! Yes, by "I cut my hair" I mean I CUT IT MYSELF. I don't know how practical it is, but I prefer to cut it myself because I hate going to the barber JUST to get almost all my hair cut off and thrown away. I know this is kinda irrelevant... but... it still happened this week! Hahaha!

UGH. Notice the little lock of hair over on the side. Hey.. I said I cut it, I didn't say anything about brushing it. HAHAHA. Also, I am beginning to hate the color of my room. I love green and brown and it suited me when I painted it a few months ago, but I am ready for something different. Something lighter. Maybe a project for the coming week!? :D

Well, that's all for now! I hope you enjoyed today's post!

Until next time!
