Friday Fake Food Question

Recently, I made my first attempt at a confetti cake with whipped icing. After two attempts I was successful, but in between getting out my clay and finishing the earrings and charm, I:

-Made a mess with my icing
-Nearly crushed my cake slices putting in the eyepins
-Whined a lot
-Almost cried

What's your biggest fake food jewelry disaster/catastrophe? I'm sure we'd all love to hear some funny stories!

Monday Mini Food Artist: Miss Millificent's Miniatures

This week's Featured Mini Food Artist is Athena of Miss Millificent's Miniatures!

From her shop profile: I began making miniature food jewelry in the summer of 2009, after I had to leave my job as a cake decorator (carpal tunnel). I found that it was instant fun making tiny cakes, cupcakes, pies and cookies, and I'm continually searching out and studying real food to create in miniature.

I began making dollhouse minis in 2010. Although I make miniature cakes, I particularly like focusing on Southern foods.

She is also a mixed media artist, photographer, and dollmaker that shows and exhibits in galleries.
