Crepes, Pancakes, and Waffles

One of my favorite categories of food is breakfast.  After drooling and browsing some Instagram accounts, I knew the next thing I had to make were crepes, pancakes, and waffles.  The hardest part was decorating the crepes.  I used Premo for them in hopes that they would come out a little stronger than if I used Sculpey III, but no such luck.  After baking they were so thin and brittle so I had to be careful when placing the toppings so they didn't crack. Unfortunately the fruit and cream crepe did crack... oh well.  :/

Opening an Online Store!

Hi all!  I am really excited to, finally, be opening an online store :D  It will be hosted on Storenvy and will only accept PayPal.  The store will be linked in the navigation bar.

Feel free to visit my online store here: The Microbakery's Store

Before purchasing I suggest reading my Store Policies about payment, returns, and shipping information.  If anything is unclear or you have further questions, please feel free to contact me via e-mail:  TheMicrobakery@gmail.com

Before I sign off, I do have to inform everyone about the amount of stock in the store.  You will probably notice I don't have a ton of stock in my store, nor will it be constantly replenished.  Since making miniatures is a hobby of mine, I don't tend to make a ton of duplicates; therefore most items sold will be limited release.  Hope you guys understand :D

Party Cakes!

After a few disastrous attempts at a funfetti cake and burnt candles (documented on my Instagram account) I was finally able to create a few decent cakes.  They're probably the most fun food item to make because they are so darn pretty looking!  I wanted to do a few more with sprinkles and possibly funfetti, but I got too lazy and only made these :P 

I actually made duplicates of the blue vanilla and mint chocolate chip cakes along with a few extra slices and will be selling them soon.   Watch out for my next post which will go into more detail about opening an online store.

Ugh, those candles were a pain!  However, I think the end result looks nice :)  I twisted white and translucent Premo together for a classic spiraled candle and pre-baked them before placing them in the raw clay cake.  I highly suggest using Premo for the candles since they will be baked twice.  Unlike Sculpey III, Premo becomes flexible when baked for longer periods of time instead of becoming brittle.

To help prevent any further burning when baking the entire cake, I placed an aluminum foil tent around the pieces.  Once finished, I made burnt candles wicks by glueing super thin pieces of clay to the top of the candles and painted it with black acrylic.
