My Workspace - Making Bat Apple Tarts


Ever heard of Bat Apple Tarts? Of course you haven't... they're only available at places like Ms Slugsy's cake and pie shop ' Beetle Treacle'. It's somewhere in Northern England.

Here is my workspace as I create my very own unique bat apple tarts....
I sculpted the base myself, so that it looks like a typical butter pastry crust that you'd get in an English pie shop. It was filled with 'pastry cream', then 'apple slices', a 'bat wing' in the center, and then the whole thing was glazed with 'caramel sauce'.

Don't forget there is a chapter on Fairytale Foods in my upcoming book - 'The Art of Pixie Dust Miniatures'.

If you're interested in this project and want to know more about it / see the final items / or learn more about the witchy cake and pie shop, then click over to my miniature filmmaking Facebook page here, and become a fan. You wont miss a picture or a story!

More witchy treats coming soon to the Pixie Dust Miniatures Etsy shop as well...

Want a Bite?


Remember my signature poison apple pie inspired by 'Snow White'? I never really get tired of making classic poisonous red apples or anything related, so I was intrigued when a client in Paris requested literally hundreds of miniature classic red apples. I took on this commission at the start of this year as a matter of fact, and ended up making her some other fruit as well.

So I know people like to see 'work in progress' photos of large commissions such as this and so I have included some here in this post.


If you follow my other 'filmic' blog (here) in which I talk about my work as a miniaturist in general, and not just for Pixie Dust Miniatures, you may have caught the post about this a while back - in January.
You can read about my miniatures in film, or what I have to say about miniatures in film in general at this other blog of mine.
