Easter Chocolate Hen Cakes

Rest calm and keep cool! We hide and make miniatures at home.😍

The French president 🇫🇷 has announced since Thursday evening: all the schools in France will start to be closed on 16th March till the worse situation passes. With the coming Easter holidays, the kids will stay home with me during at least 5 weeks. 😱

This must change our working schedule but it’s a CORRECT decision. I want to continue, making miniatures silently as much as I am able to. Stay sage my boys! 🙏

Stay safe everyone! 🌺

Easter & Engagement Cakes

I am happy finally I decide to restart a pastry project. It's true I have been worrying about the fact I did not have so much inspiration and wondered how to create and catch the details of real sweeties.
For 2020, I hope there will be more to come! :)

Happy Easter

Some little decorations & accessories for Easter cakes in 12th scale were made. They have been staying in my work table for two weeks since I had no inspiration. This morning I encouraged myself to complete the project.Voilà! Several pieces to represent my best wishes...

Tea Party

Do you want to join our Tea Party? It's my honor to invite you to be our guest!:-)




First, it' necessary to find an elegant teapot set. White color is my preference.

If there is one vase of Pancy flowers, the tone would look gentle and there must be slight fragrance in the air.

A cookie tray is also important in the party. We have various of cookies and biscuits!

I made one chocolate marble cake and one orange jelly cake for my guests.

Passion fruit jelly cake is eye-catching too. I'd recommend you to taste this exotic flavor!

Do you like these swets and hot tea I prepare for you?

Enjoy a glorious tea time in our garden!
