My friend Narelle asked me to make some cupcake toppers this week for her son’s Star Wars party and this is what I came up with. Storm Troopers! They were a bit hard to do as they are usually 3D but I think they look ok. I did a number 9 (and tried to make it look a bit spacey) and some little light sabers too. I love custom orders that are a challenge and a bit of fun!!
This is a sneak peek at a custom Christmas tree order I’ve just completed. I love the look of these so much that I might offer them for next year in a similar style. I hope the recipient likes them!
A few days ago I posted about the first six little trees that I’d completed. The pile is growing as I get working on more orders. I’m still happy to take more orders if you are interested. I can add a name, date or phrase such as ‘first Christmas’ etc… for no extra cost under the rim. Each tree is $12AU.
Another part of my custom order for miniature food items. These slices of toast with chocolate spread and jam on them measure around 2cm in dia at the most. Such fun to make and a challenge too.
A simple cake which is part of a miniature food custom order. I love making this sort of thing, I love the challenge of translating something big down to something tiny. I’m always up for a challenge so if you wanted something specific just ask! These make funky brooches, rings and pendants too!
I’ve been busy today putting together these Christmas ornaments which are on order. These are the first six I’ve completed and tonight I finished another six. Its been fun to start thinking a little about Christmas although this is not really my main focus. Below you can see all the little disks laid out in sizes so I can see what I have. Can you believe I made too many of some sizes and still need to make more! If you are interested in these they are $12 each, just send me a message.
Here they are, the disks made up ready to be stacked together for the Christmas tree ornaments I’m making. Actually, the jar is about a third more full (to overflowing) since I took this photo and I’m almost ready to start constructing the little stacks. If you would like one just let me know. They are $12 each and the sales will help us with our visit to Cairns this Christmas! I can also etch a name on the underneath of the bottom disk (see the link above to see them finished).
A sneak peek from the market today. I’ll put some photos of the market in another post later but for now, this is how I had my cake toppers displayed. Tired now.
Tomorrow is the first Handmade Children’s Market and I’m quite looking forward to it. I’ve sold my Polyclarific jewellery at a few other markets but this is the first time I’m selling just my cake and cupcake toppers.
Today I have baked two cakes and some cupcakes (to be iced tonight):
These will be display cakes to show my toppers on real cakes.
All the bits and pieces I need to make up my display are ready to go (for the most part).
And I managed to get two more lots of girly cupcake toppers done in time, ladybugs and flowers.
I still have a few things to do but am almost there. The market details are:
