I had a little extra time while some of my other projects were drying. I've read a few books and watched a ton of videos on how to make miniature dollhouse cakes. Today I gave it my first try.
Here are my
results and my
critique.

First try at miniature cake making…needs work |

Cake from back angle…just not right |

Inside of the cake |
Critique:
- The icing mix was too soft. I had a problem getting the icing design I wanted. Next time I will use less translucent liquid clay in the mixture so that I can have more control.
- Don't use gloss on the bread portion of the cake.
- Make the cake flat before baking (cake is lopsided).
- Spend more time on the texture.
- Try not to cut such a big piece. :)
- Use the 1/2 round cutter instead of the 1 inch, the cake appeared off scale.
Gave this one to my daughter, back to the drawing board for me.
