Just finished dessert for tonight - homemade chocolate eclairs and cream puffs. :) #food #realfood #eclair #chocolate
Detail shots of the pastry case. I know it's got glue on the sides - it came broken through the mail and I had to repair it. :/ I still need to fight the glue stuck on the glass. Top shelf: Strawberry Rasperry Fruit Tart, Cake with Chocolate and Raspberries, Cake with Strawberries, Misc Mini Fruit Tarts, Chocolate Covered Strawberries. Middle Shelf: Chocolate Chip Cookies, Macarons, Mini Cream Puffs, Eclairs, Pain au Chocolat. Bottom Shelf: Chocolate Cupcakes, Vanilla Cupcakes, Cheesecake, Raspberry Cheesecake.
It's done! I finally made enough foods to fill up my 1:12 scale pastry case. c: This was done on and off over the course of a month. All foods inside were handmade by me from Polymer Clay. The display case was bought off Etsy. I love it so much and I have it sitting on display right now in my apartment. :D I think I might tackle seasonal pastries for this, too!
Playing around with some new ring blanks I got on sale at Joann's. Wish they had more colors in the bag though. Filigree ring topped with a small serving tray of pastries - an eclair, a cream puff, a chocolate covered strawberry, a madeleine cookie, and two macarons. This ring is one of a kind, so once it's sold, I won't be making another just like it. Find it here: [link]
I just realized I never posted a picture of the 1:12 prep table I bought, so I loaded it up with a bunch of desserts I've made and took a picture. :) I have a 1:12 scale pastry display as well, but I still need to fix the shelves inside - they came in broken. :/ Wanted to do another shot with savory foods, but I don't really have any! I think I'll need to remedy that.
Second part of a commission - a pastry serving platter on a key chain. It includes - 2 chocolate eclairs, 2 mini cream puffs, 2 fruit tarts (one with blueberries, one with lemon), 2 madeleines dipped in chocolate, 2 macarons, and 2 chocolate dipped strawberries. I was thinking of making these as necklaces. Would anyone be interested in these if I made a few and put them in my store?
All the items made so far for my meeting in Boca. I'm pretty pleased with these. :) I think it's a pretty good sampling of what I can do. The tiramisu needs the rest of the prep board but I'll do that a little later. I'll have these up for sale (if anyone's interested) after my meeting.
Finished my pastry box! I'd link the template for the box but it was pretty awful. The two halves are the same size, so they don't really fit together like they should. And parts of it are way off so it won't fit together well. :/ At least it looks decent enough to take with me this week. I really want to do more of these for rings and magnets, pins, too, maybe.
Eclair charms. I've wanted to make these for a little while, and they were rather simple to do but the results are great! I'm selling these as either stand alone charms or as a cell phone charm (strap included). If you're interested just send me a note. :)
