New arrivals - Wedding cake, Whoopie Pies, Iced soda beverage and more!!

Greetings Littlest Sweet Shoppers!

I've been working really hard these past few weeks to come up with a lot of new miniatures. These are just half of it but I will try to list them all up in the shop ASAP!!

Mid-August new arrivals

I have been neglecting the Wedding menu so I dedicated a whole week to complete this wedding cake. Plenty of hours (and patience) was crucial in making over 200 super tiny petals for the small peony flowers. The whole cake (including the flower on top) is only 45mm tall so it should also be applicable in 1:12 scale. 

The lace trim is all gold and the peonies are hand-made in pink and peach colours. We gave our Instagram followers a video preview of the cake and received more than 50,000 views!

Whoopie Pies are small cakes with cream sandwiched inside. I used to make this all the time since I was too lazy to bake for just the two of us so I wanted to make something easy. I chilled the milk before whipping it to achieve a very delicious cool cream. 

Miniature version comes in 3 different flavours and customised orders are always welcomed. Available now in the Cakes menu.

Red Velvet, Vanilla and chocolate, Chocolate and mint Whoopie Pies

Mini cakes with cream sandwiches

Moving on, we have updated the Bakery menu with some filled doughnuts.

Jam, chocolate and custard filled doughnuts. Dusted in powdered sugar

Hazelnut chocolate, Strawberry milk and 'Feathered' doughnuts

We have a new beverage on our menu with our own Littlest Sweet Shop handmade take-away cup! I used vacuum forming technology to shape the cup and lid. It has absolutely perfect transparency just like the real cup.

This Blue Hawaiian drink comes with the straw and even ice. Deliciously icy and cool! Find it in our Beverages menu.

This is what we Brits call a 'tea biscuit' which is a very common biscuit served with tea. They are thin, light and crispy but not tiny so your dolls can dunk it into the tea. You can buy them from our Cookie Shop.

We just listed 2 types of new bread in the Bakery menu. The first one is a savoury favourite that can be eaten at any day making it the perfect snack! The Pretzel Dog is literally a hot dog wrapped in pretzel dough and baked until crispy in the outside. We recommend serving them piping hot.

The last new item in the Bakery is Sugar Twists. Soft bread twists baked until golden and coated in sugar.

Kracie Popin' Cookin' Cake Making Kit たのしいケーキやさん (edible!) Review

Good day Littlest Sweet Shoppers!

Today I'm reviewing a Japanese product from Kracie. This set is part of their Popin' Cookin' DIY kit which contains everything you need to produce your own decorated sweets using your own imagination. You can also read my reviews on other Popin' Cookin' products here http://www.littlestsweetshop.com/2015/08/japan-candy-box-review-and-giveaway.html and here http://www.littlestsweetshop.com/2016/06/japan-candy-box-review-and-giveaway.html

I got this from an international supermarket when I was on holiday in Asia but you should be able to find it at most Japanese speciality stores. They have a wide range of products so you would be able to spot it easily in the candy / confectionery isle. The graphics are really super kawaii and will stand out.

At the back you will find the recipe on how to use the kit. The pictures will explain everything you need to do but you can also find the English recipe here: http://www.nerune.jp/product/pdf/cake_eng.pdf

The kit includes all the items in the photo. Vanilla and Strawberry flavoured cream mix, sprinkles, 2 wafer cones, tart case, wafer biscuits are included together with the piping bag, spoon and container. This is all you need during the process of Popin' Cookin'.

What's included in the box

The vanilla and strawberry powder smells really nice and sweet and mixes with plain water to produce a creamy confectionery. Follow further instructions to create all 3 types of items- ice cream, cake and tart. Just add imagination!

One side strawberry and one side vanilla. Cute and stripey

There is enough cream to make everything here and even extra! The cream itself is not very sweet which is what I love about Japanese candy. It is also very smooth and creamy. Definitely not the usual gummy style candy like the other Popin' Cookin' kits I have tried out before.

My creations

That's all for today. There are plenty of new items that will debut next week so make sure you stick around! Also don't forget to enter our 1000 followers giveaway to win exclusive Littlest Sweet Shop miniatures.
