Making FIMO Cakes

I was busy making little necklaces for a local craft sale, and I needed to step up my production, otherwise, I would not have enough to sell.

An idea came to me, and I will never go back to the OLD way of making them again.


First, make a cake out of FIMO. Bottom layer, cream filling and upper layer.


Next, find the sharpest knife (or a razor blade) and slice into pieces.


Voila!  Six perfectly sliced chocolate cream cakes.  
All that is left to do is decorate with strawberries and a blob of cream, attach the chain and varnish.


TA DA!  
Don't they look good enough to eat?

Tiny Tea Party

A little friend of mine was celebrating her 5th birthday recently.  I know of her love for tiny things, so I decided to make her a set of Tea Cakes to have with her dolls.

These six sweet cuties were made of FIMO one evening while watching TV.


I found the plate (2" wide) at an enormous garage sale about ten years ago, and it has been waiting for just the right reason to be used.
The chocolate eclair is my favourite cake, and I must confess, that I had to buy the real thing the next day because the craving was just too strong to fight!

My mum e-mailed to say that she wants the same plate of goodies as a fridge magnet.  Come to think of it, so do I.
