petit fours


petit fours nuts and choc
Originally uploaded by Snowfern

these are 1/4" wide. i took a hella long time to sculpt the nuts, but once i got the hang of it...


IT DOES NOT GET EASIER XD

i even made a mold, but the details are lost at such small a scale after removing the clay from the mold, so each piece still has to be adjusted to get it just-so.

colours are a tad boring, but i think it'll make a nice contrast against my colourful cupcakes :) should be making a few other 'flavours' of petit fours, and maybe a few cake slices.


i'm not that good with 'drizzle' icing yet, definitely need more practice. i miss the almond puff pastry that's available at four leaf bakeries ; ; hence the mini version XD

p.s. so as to confuse you less, the larger items are in 1:4 scale, the smaller ones, 1:12. :) all inedible!

  3. lol thank you Kiva! man those nuts took me forever to figure out .....> < i even made a 1:12 pecan!

    Hi Emma/Miniman! yes, the petit fours are 1:4 as i am preparing for a BJD event, i haven't gotten round to making the 1:12 ones yet, but there are 2 mini 1:12 almond puff pastries. i'm so confused myself, all these varied sizes ; ;

  5. STOP making big scale nuts! People and animals will eat them!! They are WONDERFUL! And too real and too hazardous!
