The Natalie in Me

I thought I'd share with you photos of my first attempt at making miniature food. I used a simple salt-dough mixture which I didn't even bother to bake anymore, just air dried.

I must say I'm very proud of the way the bread that looked realistic - I guess because I've been baking since I was 9, I know what freshly baked bread looks like.

Rolls, buns, loaves, and dumplings

The weird squiggly brown stuff at the top center are bacon strips (everything else is self explanatory)

I created more items in the course of a week, but didn't take photos because I stupidly thought they'd be alright in the ziploc bag. Of course by the time I wanted to take photos, they had grown all kinds of molds and spores that I had to throw away the whole shebang.

My ultimate dream is to create something like this, though...


Isn't is just fan-freaking-tastic?!
My heart races at the thought.
