I was so inspired by
making that first mini cake that I built a whole cake shop! All of the cakes are old-fashioned homemade-style cakes. You may recognize this building, actually. It's the Greenleaf Primrose dollhouse that I won in a giveaway a while back. My husband recently glued it back together after it arrived in the mail from Greece in several pieces.
Sophie the bear has just discovered the new cake shop while out walking Luna the puppy. The shop feels so cool and refreshing after being out in the heat of the day.

That yummy strawberry coconut cake arrived out of the blue from
Natasha of Eat Cake Miniatures while I was building the cake shop. |
Luna heads straight for the table, laden with yummy food, while Sophie takes in the scene.
Luna wants some yummy cake NOW! She lets out a howl.
Mmm, everything looks so tasty!
Sophie calls Luna away from the table. "Come here, Luna! That isn't for you. Be a good girl!"
This project was so fun! My creative energy was in full force, as I painted, cut, and glued for about two weeks straight. Anytime I had a spare moment, I made something for the cake shop. I used furniture from my stash, and then I painted it and updated it with shabby paper and fabric. I even made two more cakes for the shop and bought the perfect pink cake from Beverly of
Cute in Miniature on Etsy.
Next time I'll show you views of the shop from the outside. Thanks for stopping by and taking a look! I appreciate your comments so much too. Thank you,
Natasha, for sending two beautiful cakes and to all of the blog friends whose gifts have added so much to this project. Until next time, keep it fun! xoxo Jennifer
Luna is hoping one of those cakes drop on the floor. Lovely shop. I can't wait to see the outside.

ReplyDeleteBut this is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cute!!! I love it! You've done a marvelous job and this shop is quite charming. What a thrill it must've been to see it all come together after two weeks of meticulous labor! Fabulous and thanks for featuring my cake, by the way:)
P.S.-I adore Luna. So precious!
Jennifer, you are inspirational! I can't believe you pulled all this together in two weeks. Its gorgeous, so full of warmth and colour. My apologies for being away so long, you know how RL gets.

Hello Jennifer! Your little cake shop has such a fresh and happy atmosphere and I love the way you have laid out the shelves and the table and chairs and finished the decor with the lovely pastel shades. Your little homemade cakes are really charming and making them is so much fun as I am sure you now realize! Do you have a name for the shop yet? I am glad that it was fixable after it arrived to you from Greece! What a long distance for it to travel and what stories it now will get to tell!
ReplyDeleteelizabeth

So utterly sweet! All my favourite colours and such yummy looking cakes. You've made a lovely scene, Jennifer. Hugs, Sanne
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer! What an enchanting little space you have created. It's amazing that you did all this in two weeks. This little room would make a lovely card! I love the harmony of the pastel colours. You're a woman of action, Jennifer! When you decide to do something, it gets done. I love your cakes and I would love to see a closeup of the ones on the stand and the table.
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer! What a lovely cakeshop! Everything looks yummy and the colors are wonderfully bright :-) It really looks like you´ve been having a whole lot of fun creating this!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sandra
Too cute --and scrumptious, too!
ReplyDeleteJennifer,
ReplyDeleteAlthough your post is adorable, I may have to stop reading your blog! I'm starting to gain poundage just from looking at all those cakes! Just kidding. I love it. You are so talented!
