Kids Meal - Cheeseburgers n Smiley Face Potatoes

Saw a pack of frozen smiley face potatoes at a supermarket and thought it would be so fun to bite into one (after they are fried, of course). These are not so common in Singapore. Are they popular in the States? Anyway, they are too cute and I just have to make a miniature version. However my husband said they look creepy and more suited for Halloween. :(


Inspiration from a fast food restaurant "Bob Evans" in the USA. The link can be found in http://www.flickr.com/photos/12170996@N06/4738165340. My blog editting doesn't allow me to copy and paste, so you have to go to my flickr and click on the link there. I chose to type out the flickr address instead of the looooooong website of the photo source. The actual version below seems to look cuter.




Well, if you find the smiley faces creepy too, ask for some fries instead.
Available at my Etsy store.

Refreshing Ice Water with Lemon

A customer enquired about the ice water with lemon set and so I made another one for sale. Someone asked how I made the bottles of mineral water - these are plastic and are part of miniature supplies. I'm only in charge of the lemons and glass of ice water and of course the idea. I hate it when I see some artists copy the idea of other artists. It's fine for common ideas like chocolate chip cookies or donuts but I find it hard to accept exact replica.


The photo below shows the old set but the glasses here are made of plastic instead of real glass. Real glass is more expensive but I prefer its finer quality.


I also updated my Etsy shop banner. Seriously I'm tempted to get professional help for a shop makeover. I'm still thinking about it, so let's make do with this new banner for now.
Start of another week. Monday blues... but I'm so glad it's going to be my second last Monday blue!

Re-ment Baby Stuff & A Rose Cake

I'm into collecting miniature baby stuff recently. See what pregnancy does to me? Spending money on miniatures instead of real stuff that I need. :P


Here is a Re-ment set I bought from Ebay. I think this belongs to the "Pharmacy" series. Sorry for the mislabelling in the picture. I love Re-ment but ever since they got bigger and bigger, I've stopped collecting them. I contemplated buying this set long long time ago and finally it's mine!


For those who can't visualise the size, the diaper pack is about 2/3 of the middle three fingers combined.




I like the baby oil. It looks just like the Johnson&Johnson baby oil bottle.


The lid of the baby wipe can open and close. And some of the cotton buds can be taken out from the container!
My favourite has got to be the diaper pack. The diapers can be taken out. Check out the prints on the diapers! I'm truly amazed by the Japanese.

More collections to showcase!

Before I get too carried away and bore readers who come from the mini food blog *slap myself*, here is a mini rose cake I made but it received no hearts on Etsy. Doesn't matter, I'll work harder next time ^_^

Ice n Hot Chocolate Prep Boards

Some new items in my Etsy shop. Miniature Iced and Hot Chocolate Prep Boards!

I haven't made any real chocolate drinks at home. I always have it at Starbucks, especially their iced chocolate. I used to have it every day but I've cut down on cold drinks since my pregnancy. It's fine I suppose... it helps me save SGD6 (about US$4) per day.


The set below includes hot chocolate in a little cup, filled with frothy marshmallows. Yummy!


The iced version below comes with a little glass (made of real glass!) of chocolate. You can almost hear the tinkling of the ice cubes.


Off to take a break now! I only have half a day left before weekend is over. Enjoy yours.
PS: I'm on DeviantArt - see link on the right to view my photo gallery.

Stack O Waffles n Breakfast Feast

How time flies! It's been almost 2 weeks since my last update.

Here are some pics of all the recent breakfast items. I love such pics but they really involve lots of work. The croissants and pancakes are sold but the waffles are still looking for a owner. Please hop over to my Etsy store if you like it. ^_^


Stack O Waffles... with a bowl of strawberry syrup.


Enjoy your weekend everyone! I'm off to clean my kitchen!
