I Baked Her a Cake

My mom-in-law wanted enchiladas and homemade ice cream for supper on her birthday, but I couldn’t resist baking her a cake, too:

It sits perfectly atop a dime and is only the second miniature I’ve tried (not to scale). The lesson learned from doing this 3/4″ tall project is that it’s definitely time for new glasses … or possibly a high-powered telescope. And teeny fingers.

I still need to learn the secret to keeping white polymer clay pristine. Even wiping down every surface and washing my hands repeatedly (AND drying them on a white towel/paper towel/etc) doesn’t do the trick. However, I have discovered that Fimo seems to repel dusty particles much better than any type of Sculpey.

I hope you’re all having a fantastic weekend.

Toodles!
