Working On A New Mini Cake . . . With My Eyes Closed!

Hello crafters!

Haven't posted in a few days due to being super busy making new miniature items & preparing them to be listed in my Ebay shop. But, I'm finally back!

Today I'm actually just about to work on another miniature cake. This time though, it's a bit different. After seeing a Truth or Dare crafting challenge on the app, Crafty Amino, I decided I just had to try some of the dares!

One of the dares were to try crafting something with your eyes closed, so that's exactly what I'm about to try! I'm planning to make a delicious dark chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and a strawberry on top! Just got together my paints, decorations, and a white cake to color.

A bit nervous, but super excited to see how long it will take me to accomplish this challenge with a perfectly pretty miniature cake. Hoping it comes out well!

Check back later for an update of how the finished cake turned out!

Dollhouse Miniature S'mores inspired Cake

Hello crafters!

"Ahh, a nice summer evening at the beach! So relaxing, but a sweet treat would just make it so much better!" said Barbie.  If that's what your dolls are also thinking, don't fear! Sweets are finally here!

Lately, I've been working on a variety of new cakes & have been trying to see how unusual, while still realistic, I can make them. Whenever I saw this weekend's challenge, Beach Crafts on the app, Crafty Amino, it looked so fun that I just had to try making a cake inspired by the beach!

After hours of thinking, I thought of the perfect idea! A campfire at the beach inspired cake. Which is what brought me to making a delicious miniature s'mores cake!

Inside the cake are 3 layers of graham cracker and 3 layers of chocolate. Next, we go to the outside of the cake where there is some delicious chocolate marshmallow frosting. Finally, to top it all off, I added 4 pieces of a broken up s'more on top with a few marshmallow sprinkles! Or, if we translate this into craft language . . .

To make the cake, I used white air-dry clay. Recently I made a large batch of plain white cakes so whenever I have time, I could decorate them. To get the colors, I used black, yellow, white, orange, and red Puffy paint along with white simulation cream. Once I had mixed the colors perfectly to get a graham-cracker-beige color, melted-marshmallow-white color, and a chocolate-brown color, I started painting the cake. I painted the inside layers to look like graham cracker & chocolate. Next, I used a toothpick to frost the cake with chocolate icing. I slightly swirled a bit of the graham cracker color and white marshmallow paint on areas of the frosting to make it look like a chocolate marshmallow frosting. Finally, I used an extra s'more which I had made a while ago, broke it into four different pieces, and placed the pieces on the cake. I also broke up a few pieces of white clay and sprinkled it on the top to look like marshmallow sprinkles.

Voila! A perfect sweet treat for a campfire at the beach! I hope you like it!

Delicious Mini Brownies With Chocolate Sprinkles

Hello crafters!

Today I'm super excited to post these adorable mini chocolate sprinkle brownies that I made a few weeks ago!

I used white air dry clay to create them. I had made them by adding white clay into the little ceramic dish & shaping a separate piece of white clay into a square. Next, I mixed a few Puffy Paint colors with sun catcher paints to make a thin chocolate brown paint. Then, I used a toothpick to paint the brownies. I flaked the inside of the brownies & the brownie on the side using the same toothpick that I used to paint them so the inside would be fully brown instead of white. After that, I sprinkled chopped pieces of chocolate colored clay on top of the brownies to look like sprinkles. Finally, I used a needle tool to add lines on the top of the brownies to look like if they were being cut into separate brownie squares.

Well, I hope you like these delicious brownies!

Stir-Fry Prep Board!

Hello crafters!

I'm so excited to finally post one of my brand new prep boards!

This is actually one of my favorites out of all of the prep boards that I've recently made. I decided to make this prep board inspired by making a delicious stir-fry. In the pot, you can notice some delicious carrots, beef, celery & other seasonings frying. Next, to the pot, there are some delicious yellow peppers, garlic, red peppers, beef, lime slices, and some celery being cut up with a mini knife!

To start off, I made the clear prep board bottom by cutting out a square of plastic out of a Q-Tip container. Next, I created the mini pot out of paper & Puffy Paint. Then, I made the beef, carrots, and seasonings out of orange, brown, red, and green scrap clay. After that, I made the little knife out of foil & used my fingers to shape it into a knife shape. Finally, I cut off a few pieces of the mini celery to make it look like it had been cut up with the mini knife & glued everything to the prep board. 

Didn't make the celery, lime slices, yellow peppers, garlic or red peppers. They were just a few extra mini foods that happened to fit perfectly into the scene.

Will be posting a tutorial showing how to make a miniature pot like the one on the prep board, so make sure to check back soon!

Well, I hope you like it! 

White Chocolate Heart Cake With Dark Chocolate Frosting

Hello crafters!

Valentine's Day is coming soon! Which also means it's time to finally start making & posting Valentine's Day inspired minis!

At the moment, I'm working on many new & free Valentine's Day templates (which will soon be posted). A few of these templates are planned to be miniature Valentine's Day cards, letters, and more! I can't wait to post them! But for now, I'm super excited to introduce another new member of the CCK miniature family! Let's welcome, White Chocolate, Dark Chocolate Frosting Heart Cake!

I actually just made this cake a few days ago. Had made it using white air dry clay. As much as I love air-dry clay, there are some drawbacks whenever you forget how fast it can dry & harden, such as: forgetting to flake a cake. That's actually what happened with this cake! Was making a few other cakes at the same time & by the time I realized that it wasn't flaked, it had already been a few days late. Lets just assume it's a creamy-white-chocolate icing filled cake.

It was pretty easy to make. Made the cake into a heart from using a mold. Whenever I took the white clay out of the mold, I cut out the cake slice and frosted the outside with a delicious chocolate color. Finally, I sprinkled a few chocolate sprinkles on top!

I hope you like it!

Miniature Sandpaper Nachos

Hello crafters!

Time for another craft which I made a few weeks ago! And in this post, we want to welcome our guest . . . . . Sandpaper Nachos! Have to admit, not my best craft, but It works and has a similar look to what I was going for.

The day that I was making this craft I really was not in the mood for working with clay, so I was trying to think of an alternative. I wanted to make some nachos and was trying to come up with an idea of how to make the chips without using clay. I saw some sandpaper which made me wonder if it would work as chips.

First, I got a piece of sandpaper and cut the paper up into tiny triangle pieces. Next, I glued the pieces to a mini plate. After that, I mixed orange and yellow Puffy Paint to make the perfect cheesy color. Finally, I added the cheesy Puffy Paint color onto the plate next to the nacho chips and added a few dashes of the cheese onto the sandpaper chips.

I hope you like it!

MIniature Light Red Velvet Chocolate Frosting Bundt Cake

Hello crafters!

Luckily I've had a bit of extra time to post some much-needed-to-be-posted posts today since crafting so much yesterday left me some time to take a small, much needed, break! It seems more & more impossible to catch up on posts from making so many crafts, tutorials, and templates, but don't worry! I'll always be trying to post as many crafts as possible!

With us today is a beautiful miniature light red velvet chocolate frosting bundt cake! I actually made it back during December 2017, even though I never got the time to post it!

I had used white air-dry clay to make this beautiful cake! Took awhile to get the bundt cake shape perfect, but after awhile of shaping the cake, it turned out perfect. Then, I cut out a cake slice & flaked the inside of the cake & the cake slice. Could do much better on the flaking now, not exactly a fan of flaking though. After that, I mixed tons of Puffy Paint colors to make a maroon/brown chocolate-looking color. Finally, I used a toothpick to add the chocolate-looking Puffy Paint frosting onto the cake and the cake slice.

I hope you like it!

Miniatures WIP Cakes, Cookies, Cupcakes, & Smoothies

Good morning crafters!

After hours of crafting, I'm super excited to finally take a break and show a few pictures of some new minis that I'm working on!

For the last few hours, I've been using mostly white clay to make tons of different mini dessert food! It becomes very easy to loose track of time while using clay. Luckily I finally got myself to take a break from clay . . .

So of course like every weekend, I'm crafting some type of giant craft for a challenge on the app, Crafty Amino, which of course, I'm doing today too! Planning on making a beautiful ice cake, still have to paint and decorate it though. After that, I started making tons of other minis! Including 13 cakes, cookies, 5 cupcakes, and 4 cookies & cream smoothies..

None of these crafts have been finished yet, still have to paint everything. I hope you like them so far! 

Mini Ham & Cheese Sandwiches

Hello crafters!

I recently made these delicious miniature cheese and ham sandwiches. Was planning to post them awhile ago but had forgotten!

To make these, I got 6 pieces of beige clay & shaped each of them into a triangle shape. I did the same thing with 3 pieces of orange clay & pink clay around the same size. Afterwards, I placed one of the triangle pink pieces on top of one of the beige pieces of clay. Then, I placed an orange piece on top & added another beige piece on top.  Finally, I just shaped the sandwich a little more.

Well, that was pretty much it!  I hope you like it!

Miniature Orange Cake

Hello crafters!

Today I'm super excited to post a brand new orange cake that I made earlier this weekend!

I had actually made it while making my rainbow pastel cake during Friday night.  Haven't had time to post this cake or a lot of other minis that I've recently made due to crafting so much lately.

Anyways, onto this delicious orange cake!  I had made it out of air dry clay.  First, I just shaped the white clay, and cut out a cake piece.  Next, I flaked the cake.  After that, I started making the frosting for the cake by mixing white Simulation cream, a mix of orange sun catcher paint & pink Puffy Paint, and some white Puffy Paint.  Finally, I added some yellow sprinkles & an orange decoration piece on top!  The yellow sprinkles actually seem to look like orange sprinkles on the cake, but it works pretty well!

I hope you like it!

Miniature Rainbow Pastel Cake

Hello crafters!

I just love beautiful pastel colors so much that I had to participate in this weekend's challenge on the app Crafty Amino!  I actually love all pastel colors, so my favorite pastel color would probably be rainbow pastels!  So that's why I had decided to make a . . . . . . . . . . Miniature Rainbow Pastel Cake! 

I started work on it late Friday night.  Was planning to post it yesterday, but I had stayed up late so I didn't wake up as early as expected.

Anyways, I made it out of white clay & used my needle tool to flake the cake.  Next, I painted each and every cake layer with sun catcher paints.  After coloring the layers, I re-flaked the cake.  Did this twice to the cake so it would look more realistic.  After I finished flaking the inside, I started making the pastel pink frosting!  To make the frosting, I had mixed white Puffy Paint, Pink Sun catcher paint, and white Simulation Cream.  Then, I spread the frosting all over the cake & cake piece.  Finally, I added pastel sprinkles on top!

This cake was so fun to make!  I hope you liked it!

Strawberry Confetti Cake

Good morning crafters!

The glitter unicorn has come to visit & has brought her brand new strawberry glitter confetti cake with tons of toppings!  I now wondering what a glitter unicorn would look like.  Maybe a glitter unicorn will have to be my next project!

But for now, I just finished this brand new strawberry glitter confetti cake a few days ago!  It took a few hours, but the sparkly glitter is so pretty!

I just used a heart foam piece for the base.  Next, I mixed pink, white and confetti glitter Puffy Paint for the icing.  I used a toothpick to spread on the icing.  After that, I added a few quick cake toppings on top, including strawberries, grapes, raspberries, and a few other toppings that I'm not exactly sure of what they technically are.  But, lets assume they are just decorations made out of doll cake fondant.

It was a pretty simple cake to make.  This was actually one of the first crafts that I used my new confetti glitter Puffy Paint on.  So excited to see what other crafts this beautiful confetti glitter might work with!

I hope you like it!

Red Velvet Cake Slices

Hello again crafters!

Here with us now are two delicious pieces of miniature red velvet cake slices!

I made them back during November or December, but haven't been able to post them since these adorable cake slices have been canceling their last few interviews due to being snowed in.  But luckily they finally came to tell us all about themselves!

These were actually a bit easier to make than I expected.  First, I just got out a piece of red velvet colored clay & split it into two pieces.  Next, I used my fingers to shape both pieces into a triangle cake slice shape.  Then, I got out some white clay, flattened it, and cut out 2 perfectly straight strips of clay.  After that, I carefully placed one of the white strips in the middle on both sides of one of the cake slices.  I did the same thing with the other cake slice.

Then, I used a needle (toothpick works just as well) to flake both sides of both cake slices.  After that, I used a toothpick to slightly texture & flatten the white icing.  Finally, I glued the pieces to a mini plate!

Took awhile to flake, but it was really worth it!

I hope you like it!

Plates of Hot Dogs!

Hello crafters!

Recently, when I was last creating hot dogs in a bun, I had a ton of left over dark red clay. I started to wonder, how many plain hot dogs could I make out of the clay. So I decided to try & see!

I basically started just rolling out thick little pieces of dark red clay. Once I finished shaping them into the perfect shape, I put it aside. I kept repeating this step over and over for nine times.

After I finished all of the mini hot dogs, I glued them onto two separate plates. (did not create the plates) And that is pretty much it. Only things left for the dolls to get are buns, ketchup, and mustard!

It was actually pretty fun to make. I hope you like it!

Grilled Cheese

Hello crafters!

What craft do I have here now? Well you might've read one of my posts a few hours ago where I had mentioned about recently getting a new type of white clay. Although part of it i've been using for cakes, I actually used it on my Mini Mech-X4 craft along with this mini food too!

For this craft I made a super mini grilled cheese! It is actually was much easier to make it then I expected. I used a good bit of chalk though so I'd recommend make sure you have some colorful chalk colors before starting a project similar to this.

First, I got some of the white clay and started trying to shape it into a bread shape. I then cut it in half & used a paintbrush to slightly brush both of the bread pieces with brown chalk. Once it was the perfect bread color, I used a toothpick to make 3-4 lines in the bread to look like it had been grilled. I then used a toothpick to add a touch of extra brown and black marks in the lines I made to look close to being burnt.🍞🍞

Next, I started working on the cheese! I flattened out some more white clay and cut out a square shape. After that, I brushed the small white square with orange and yellow chalk. It is now mini cheese!🧀🧀

We're close to the final step! After that, I started working on the meat. I made the sausage pattie by getting some more white clay and rolling it into a small ball. For this, I mostly used my fingers to flatten it since it can't be too flat. Then, I pressed it against some sandpaper to give it a textured. Finally, I brushed the almost meat pattie with some red mixed with black & brown chalk.

Time for the final step! I put one half of the bread on the bottom, then glued the meat on top of the bread. Next I glued the cheese on top of the meat and tried flattening it on the meat to make it look melted. Finally, I glued the last half of the bread on the top!

The grilled cheese had so many steps and took a little while, but I really love it's realistic look!

I hope you like it!
