Pink Meringue Set



In real life I have a sweet tooth, I love sweets, but I'm not of those who can eat whatever they want ... So I have my revenge by making minis.
As this weekend was very hot in Lisbon (40ºC) I felt like eating ice cream, so I decided to do a lot of minis and of course, only Sweets ;)
And here is a Pink Meringue Set. In this set I have cakes, cupcakes, cookies, chocolates, marshmallows and of course much meringue.

Will be available at my Etsy store in a few hours. Stay tuned!:)

"Portugal dos Pequenitos" (Kidsize Portugal)



Last week we took our nephews to Portugal dos Pequenitos (Kidsize Portugal). It is 200Km from Lisbon and its 70 years old.
It's a small country in miniature where  many typical Portuguese houses and Monuments are represented  and has pavilions dedicated to the former Portuguese colonies. It was founded in 1940, and it is conceived by Bissaya Barreto and designed by the architect Cassiano Branco.
It's fun because kids can get into all the houses and monuments. They love it!

Of course I loved it too, it was nice to remember my visit when I was 7 years old. :)

Then we went to Ponte de Lima (more 200kms) to a family lunch along the Lima river.

And the next day we went to Viana do Castelo. The city of my parents. A beautiful town that brings me good memories of summer holidays.
The North of Portugal (Minho) is beautiful!!

Always chocolate







Last weekend I made a delicious selection of the finest miniature Belgian chocolates and a selection of Doughnuts and Eclairs with chocolate and Vanilla frostings. All presented on gold board with a miniature doily.
Perfect for a pâtisserie, prep tables or bakery scenes :)

And of course! After making Doughnuts and miniature Belgian chocolates, the kitchen is a mess.
Nothing better for a kitchen dollhouse that a bowl with dirty dishes to look like a busy kitchen. ;)

A special breakfast








With the exhibition in Lisbon last week, I couldn't show you my latest work.
Last week was a tough week in my real life, but I decided that this weekend I had to get some hours for my minis. It relaxes me :)
I hope you like my bread and croissaints prep table. I really like it and do not even feel like selling it ...
