just desserts

bakery story has been eating up my time lately.
damn these addictive apps! ;)

snow white & the headless dwarf

i had purchased these vintage cake toppers of snow white & the seven dwarfs from a brimfield dealer three years ago. i had completely forgotten about these figurines until my sister uncovered them the other day while searching for another item. unfortunately one of the dwarfs' heads became detached as i was arranging them for display on a bookshelf. so now the poor dwarf's head is sitting in a wheelbarrow, waiting for the day to be glued back onto his body with an epoxy adhesive.

. . . 

you'll notice that three of the seven dwarfs do not appear in this photo, as they had refused to have their picture taken for this blog post. one was too camera shy, one was too tired & could barely keep his eyes open, and the third muttered something about "damn paparazzi" before storming off.  and then there was snow white, with her bright red carol channing-like smiling mouth, perfectly poised for the camera and thinking to herself, 'i wish prince charming would come my way soon and take me away from these seven nutters.'

it's snack time!

primrose snack set by anchor hocking glass

last weekend i purchased a vintage milk glass

snack set from my favorite consignment shop.

it was marked 50% off, so i ended up paying $12.50 for the 8-piece set.

(woo-hoo, i love a bargain!)

although the original box is tattered and stained,

all of the cups & trays are in very good condition.

 what could be a better snack than a mini cake with

strawberry frosting, whipped cream, and a cherry on top?

i went through a phase of whipping up scrumptious desserts
using felt, embroidery floss, and polyfill.
i was quite pleased with how this particular one turned out.
