Cake Pops for Jason's Birthday

Jason really likes my cake pops (I only made them once before - see this post - here).  So I made him a batch all for himself for his birthday.  They are all vanilla inside with cany coating.  Kaitlyn and Sabrina helped me place the Smarties on the blue ones.  I made the yellow ones into little people using Jason's favourite - peanut butter cany melts - on the hair and faces.
Of course, we can't eat all of these yummy treats, so Jason took most of them to work to give to his most deserving minions.  He said all the comments were beyond favourable after just one bite. :)
By the way - I can't take full credit for these, as I learned about them here.  I was just the baker and designer.

My Spud Bud Charms

I had a LOT of fun making these charms.  Let me introduce you to:
Mr. Spud Bud
Mrs. Spud Bud  and
Jr. Spud Bud
All are approximately 2cm high by 1.2cm wide.
Buy the whole family and proudly wear them on a charm bracelet, necklace or cell phone charm!
Don't worry, the baby won't hurt them.  The Spud Family are shown in a 1:12 dollhouse scale crib and baby.

Gingerbread Man Christmas Ornaments

Yes, I have started to create christmas items for the Tuscany Christmas Craft Fair.
These are hand made with polymer clay and I used silver plated findings to ensure a lasting shine.
Not including a red ribbon to hang on the tree this ornament measures 8cm in length and 3cm at its widest.
I don't have a picture yet, but I also have made a Waffle man - made of - you guessed it - waffles!

Fruit Tarts 1:12 Dollhouse Miniatures

I have been working hard on dollhouse miniatures - they are similar in size to my jewelry pieces.  I have always enjoyed dollhouse miniatures and think it is fun to wear pieces as charms, pendants, etc.
The large fruit tarts are 2.3cm across and .7 to 1cm high.
The tartletts fit on a plate that is 2cm across.

 

Lemon Meringue Pie - Version 2

I made lemon pie slices before, but not a whole pie.  Plus this time I have WAY better lemon slices added to it.  This pie measures 3.3cm across and .5cm high.  The pie piece is 1cm wide and .5cm high.
I didn't add any jewelry findings to this one as it is for 1:12 dollhouses.

Yummy Waffle Cones and Cupcake

Chocolate mint swirl with chocolate chips - great on a hot summer day!
This cone is 2.6cm  high by 1.5cm wide.  Since this is a little larger than my other charms, it would look great as a pendant.
The cupcake has chocolate mint swirl icing with chocolate chips. This one is 1.8cm high by 1.5cm wide.
The ity-bity-teeny chocolate ice cream come is perfect as a charm since it is only 1.7cm high by .9cm wide.

Summer Themed Charm Bracelet

I will be putting this bracelet up on my Zibbet store soon - so this is a sneak peek for all my "peeps".
The bracelet and clasp are silver plated, as are the head pins and jump rings used to attach the charms.
The beads are glass and remind me of the colours of cotton candy (blue/pink/green) or maybe a summertime sorbet flavour...yum:)
Each charm is handmade by me using polymer clay.
The starfish is 1.5cm.
The lobster is 1.7cm by 1.1cm.
The icecream cone is 1.4cm by .8cm.
The dolphin is 1.8cm by 1cm.
The flip flop is 1.5cm by .5cm.
The kayak is 1.6cm by 1 cm.
The crab is 1.1cm by 1cm.
The creamcicle is 1.4cm by 1cm.
The bracelet itself is 7 inches - if you need this to be any longer, let me know and I can lengthen it.

Fun decor for 5th Birthday Party

My daughter recently turned 5 and to celebrate it we had a birthday party in our backyard.
I had decided on a colour theme of yellow, orange, blue and green for summer and I used summer type die cuts using my Cricut.
I made cupcake picks, cupcake boxes (I custom made the insert inside, as the Cricut does not have a cut for that), thank you cards for the goodie bags, and a banner.

I also made the candy suckers in the sand pail as well as the orange candies on the cupcake holder. - Oh right.  I made the cupcake holder from foam board and cardstock.  The pillars were plastic cups.

Summer Treats for Pre-K Last Class

These are some candies I made for Kaitlyn's last Pre-Kindergarden class.  I used Wilton

candy melts and various moulds.  I picked up a new beach bucket at the Dollar Store to display these in.  The bucket is not full as I stuffed the bottom with some rolled up grocery bags.  There were already more than enough to go around and I figured there would be some left over for Kaitlyn's birthday - NOPE!  Apparently the kids attacked and ate them all!
