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!
