New arrivals and updates!

Hello Littlest Sweet Shoppers!

If you are in the UK, I am sure you are feeling a bit down from the dismal weather that we are experiencing. It's official - the wettest January in the UK since a very long time! This is also why I couldn't update my blog. I modelled so many new things recently but no opportunity to photograph them - very irritating!

Today's weather was the usual 'gloomy and wet' but I asked my husband to put my diorama near the window (the diorama's base is an inch plywood so it's quite heavy) so I can finally debut some new arrivals. These are just a first batch so there will be another blog update early next week with the other batch. Let's hope the clouds go away long enough for me to photograph the other new arrivals.

Here it is:

Mille-feuille, doughnut updates, more Valentine's day cookies and a Swiss roll update

First new arrival isn't actually new but an update/improvement. I didn't like the first mille-feuille that I did so I improved it and made a whole new line. This time I tried to capture the important detail in a mille-feuille which is the many layers of puff pastry.

You can check them out in the French Pastries menu.

Fruit mille-feuille with layers of sauce and fruit between each pastry!

I've made some more new Valentine's day cookies - but this time it's even smaller! Available now in the Seasonal menu

These cookies come in a set of 4 pieces

I've also updated the Bakery menu with these new doughnuts:

Pastel sprinkles and butterfly doughnuts

 And last but not least, a new update on the Swiss Roll in our Cakes menu

This is the first Swiss roll with a gooey filling. Iced with chocolate ganache and sprinkled with pastel sprinkles. YUMMY!!!!!

OK! What else? If you follow me on Facebook, you might already know that the Littlest Sweet Shop hired another new maid!

Naru and Maya. Both of them sitting on my dresser like good girls

Her name is Naru (based on the female protagonist from Love Hina) and she will be working alongside Maya at the Littlest Sweet Shop. I'm going to be extremely busy in the upcoming weeks since I have another big commission coming up! We need the extra pair of hands at the Sweet Shop.

I'm hoping for a good day this weekend so I can photograph Naru in action plus the new arrivals!

See you again next week!

Ta-Ta!

Puppen Haus updates:

I was lucky enough to find some small photo frames from Poundland and painted them white. I added some small photos (some are from my own personal collection) and decorated the bedroom wall.

Maya standing alone in the balcony. I added a big pot of paper flowers and iron wrought chairs. The plan was to add more flowers and plants to this area.

Maya is sitting comfortably by the custom bay window seat

That's all for now! There are so many new items for Valentine's Day since Littlest Sweet Shop opened for business a year ago ON Valentine's Day so it had to be extra special. It is a rush to have new items ready before the holiday since I had to start working on Valentine themed miniatures from the start of the new year. The gap between Christmas and Valentine's Day isn't a big one AND I'm already planning my new Easter line-up!

Before I sign-off, here is the dress that I made for Sadie. She will be wearing it for Valentine's and I should start looking for something special to wear too!

Bye! <3

New in - Cakes and Strawberry Shortcake.

Happy New Year Littlest Sweet Shoppers!

This is the first post for 2014 and there will be a lot of new sweet things introduced in this entry. One of my New Year's resolution is to improve in my modelling and photography skills. It's a challenge to design new cakes like these but that's what I will be doing from now on.

Before we check out the new cakes, let me introduce you to Littlest Sweet Shop's very own maid. She is a Pureneemo (1/6 scale M size) doll from Azone International. Her name is Maya and she's my first doll that is actually poseable! I also bought her 5 sets of new hands so she can also enjoy sweets and desserts on her own (without the help of a blutack, lol).

You will be seeing more of Maya in future blog entries so I hope you like her - she is extremely sweet! 

New arrivals for 2014:

Scalloped cakes. New in Cakes

Ombré Pacific Blue cake

Pastel rainbow cake

Strawberry shortcake (Japanese). Also new in Cakes

I love making Japanese sweets and desserts

Whole strawberries in fresh cream sandwiched between slices of light fluffy cake

New updates to the cupcake line (available now in the Cupcakes menu): 

Cream with star topper

You can have any type of topper in any colour!

There is also some new ice cream in the Ice Cream menu!

That's all for now but I never stop crafting! I'm doing a swap with a girl in Canada and I'm making a new dress for her Blythe doll so I will be busy in the next few days sitting behind the sewing machine. 

Bye for now!
