Hello Littlest Sweet Shoppers!
We are now at the time of the year where there is almost no sunlight during the very limited hours of day here in England! Photos of miniatures definitely have to be taken in natural sunlight since they are so tiny and I'm not using a professional camera like a DSLR. Anyway I managed to take these photos during the limited hours of sunlight we had for the past 3 weeks so here they are.
New for this month, we have the usual miniature food listed and also a new range of tableware and some LEGO bricks in our new Dollhouse Miniatures section.
 |
| New arrivals November 2017 |
Our first new item also falls under a new category, Dollhouse Miniatures. I have kit-bashed some dollhouse items since it wasn't easy to find anything for a 1:6 scale dollhouse so I decided to list them in this new menu. Hopefully by next month there will be new items like miniature presents and Christmas crackers. Basically any non-related food item will go into this category.
These LEGO bricks are super tiny and suitable for even 1:12 scale scenes. They come in bright colours and 4 different shapes. Each set has 16 pieces (please see photo for breakdown) and you can order a set of a same colour or a set with mixed colours. They look and feel like they are made from quality hard plastic so don't leave them on the floor!

This next new item is our favourite since it is not only cute and tiny, but it actually has the same feel and texture like the real thing! Our Gummy Bears come in 3 different sizes, and the largest is sold under the 1:3 scale menu. They come in red, orange, green, teal, blue, purple, and pink colours. You can choose to have a small sized Gummy Bears or a slightly medium sized ones for your dolls.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to present to you our own range of tableware! I am so excited to be making my own tableware because now I can make miniature food that comes permanently in bowls or plates. The tableware comes in different sizes but generally fits 1:12 scale and the 'big' labelled items fits better to 1:6 scale. The sizes are listed as well so you can decide yourself which plates you want and since it is handmade from polymer clay, you choose the colour as well! I have been using the new tableware with the new food so do look out for it.
 |
| Our dishware is handmade from polymer clay so you can request it in any colour. This colour is Blossom and has a semi-matte finish. |
 |
| Stone effect dishware in pink. Semi-transparent. Littlest Sweet Shop dishware is appropriate for both 1:12 and 1:6 scale. Refer to the measurements in each item description. Measurements are approximate figures since each item is handmade. |

Another new addition to the Tableware collection is our own selection of paper doilies or placemats. It is a great alternative to plates if you want something more practical.
 |
| All handmade so you can request them in any other colour! (with additional charge) |
We have also moved all of our packaging and boxes into the same category as the dishware so it is so much easier for you to find any additional items that you may need for your miniature food. This clear carry gift box is also new and highly practical since it is a nice size to fit all of your Littlest Sweet Shop goodies.

My mum made caramel slices when I was growing up and I had always wanted to make a miniature version for Littlest Sweet Shop. The ones sold here in British supermarkets tend to be smaller, almost bite sized so that's the style I made it in. This sweet treat also has the perfect ratio of biscuit to caramel to chocolate.

Egg tarts are popular in East Asia and ours are made to look like the Egg Tarts from Hong Kong.

If you don't like egg filling in your mini tarts, then you should find these Chocolate Ganache Tarts a bit more suitable for your dolls. They are topped with whole strawberries and perfect for tea time.

Here is even more candy! I have been working on making 5 different types of fudge for the Sweets Boutique. I was obsessed in trying to make them look like real fudge so what I did was to make the fudge just like how real fudge was made. First it comes in a huge piece like it was set in a tray and then cut into smaller pieces. This makes all of the fudge look unique with the top that looks like it was 'spreaded on'.

Winter is pretty much just around the corner but that doesn't stop me from making more ice cream. Ice cream is still my all time favourite food and I even have more planned for December!!
Ice cream cups are made in a paper cup which I have designed and assembled by hand. They remind us of the type of ice cream you can get from an ice cream truck. There is no limit to what type of flavour of ice cream you want in the cup and they also come with a wooden spoon. If you order 2 flavours or more in a cup they come in a spiral pattern. The ice cream texture has also been created to look soft and fluffy.

Sometimes the perfect way to enjoy an ice cream is at home so you can combine your favourite flavours and toppings! These sundaes come in a handmade bowl which is made by Littlest Sweet Shop and there is no limit to how many scoops or crazy combinations that you can imagine. All of Littlest Sweet Shop's sweets, cookies, fruits can also be a topping.
Not sure if you noticed but I also used a new and different technique to making these realistic, melty looking ice cream scoops (hint: you can find out on our Instagram feed!).

That's all of the new items for November. I hope you like our new range of non-food items and don't worry, this new category will also get expanded in the upcoming months.
I am going to be in London from tomorrow and coming back next Monday (13 November) so any orders on Etsy will only be posted on 14 November onwards. If you have any commission requests, you can still submit a query via our form on the website since I have access to my emails. There isn't any YouTube tutorial this week because I was finishing up another commission before this short holiday in London but I will definitely crack on it when I get back from London and it will be a Japanese curry tutorial.
Bye!
