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.

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!
