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: Fatally Feminine
This week's Featured Mini Food Artist is Aubree of Fatally Feminine!
From her shop profile: My name is Aubree, and I am the 21 year old sole owner and designer of Fatally Feminine Designs. During the day, I go to college full time studying business. During the afternoon and evening I design and create jewelry. Sometimes it can be hard to balance my time!
I love fashion and accessories and have always loved creating, so I guess it was natural that I would end up designing. I started doing full time jewelry design a little over a year ago, but I have been making jewelry since I was about 12. I have done a little experimenting with almost every jewelry technique out there, and took a few metalwork classes in high school.
But metalwork just isn't my passion and requires a lot of resources that I just don't have. I have become really passionate about polymer clay. It is amazing the things you can do with it. It continually keeps me motivated. I also love vintage jewelry and vintage jewelry findings. I create with a mixture of vintage and new.
I draw inspirations from Japan and Japanese culture. I love all things Kawaii and Lolita. I also love creating sweet treats jewelry and anything with cupcakes! ;)

Monday Mini Food Artist: Silly Chic
This week's Featured Mini Food Artist is Madeleine of Silly Chic!
From her shop profile: I've been creating and collecting things since I was a small girl.
I love kitch combined with simplicity. I recently had to be pulled out of a store that had a human sized Jesus figure for sale... It was so sweeet! And I pictured it would blend in awesomely in my (non existent) dream home's grey, white and black colored living room.
Other than that I collect vintage marble and alabaster sculptures.
She also has a degree in art history and architecture.

Monday Mini Food Artist: The Mouse Market
This week's Featured Mini Food Artist is Mo of The Mouse Market!
From her shop profile: People often wonder why I choose to spend an inordinate amount of my time creating itty-bitty foods that I can’t eat, and while I would love to spin a thrilling tale of generations upon generations of my family handcrafting miniature inedibles for kings and queens, the reason is actually quite simple: because I love it.
When I was a child, my parents built a dollhouse that was fashioned after the cozy tree house of my favorite storybook squirrel, Miss Suzy, and the miniature obsession flame was ignited. It wasn’t long before I decided to tap into the miniatures market myself, and in grade school I spent a great deal of time trying to persuade my classmates to buy my handmade animal figurines when I should have been paying attention to the math lesson. The animals had tiny little zippers engraved down the center of their tummies, and in a spurt of third grade imagination untethered by the chains of traditional spelling, I decided to dub the business Zippirs. Sadly, Zippirs failed to become the lucrative animal figurine empire I had envisioned, but luckily, my miniatures obsession has since found a new home, The Mouse Market.
Today, I combine my love of miniatures with my training as a pastry chef and a graphic designer to create detailed, realistic foods in 1/12 scale, and perhaps one day, when the public is truly ready, I may reintroduce the Zippirs.
She has also been featured in Artisan in Miniature (Issue 22), The Columbia Tribune, and Vox Magazine.

Monday Mini Food Artist: Alliesminis
On select Mondays, we will feature a member of the Miniature Food Jewelry on Etsy Team. Our first week's feature is Allie of Allies Minis!
From her shop profile: I believe that what sets my miniature food apart from all the rest is the immense amount of detail I put into each and every piece I create. Each mini has a piece of my heart and I have a lot of heart to give!
I told my second grade students about Allie's Minis and now they all believe I am famous. It’s funny how you see your life going down one path (being a teacher) and it can veer off (becoming a miniaturist) when you least expect it. I think the most amazing part of creating Allie’s Minis is that it gives me the flexibility to be the creative mini-making artist I am, and be the fun-loving, hard-working second grade teacher I strive to be everyday.
Another interesting factoid: she has been featured in the July 2010 issue of American Miniaturist.
