Usually I try to make all my miniatures from scratch, so that I can truly say "yes I made that". I like to avoid simply putting a lot of pre-bought items together (though a lot can be said for how fun that is). However, sometimes you have to compromise, like this weekend. My sister and her partner are opening a Patisserie in Maitland, near Newcastle (outside Sydney) in November, and my mother was travelling there this weekend to help out with the opening. So on Friday mum and I got the bright idea of making my sister a shop opening gift in the form of a miniature patisserie for her shop window. We had to make it in a great hurry so my mum could take it with her, and so it probably wasn't made the standard I would normally like! We bought all the components and whacked them together in a quickly. Nonetheless it was good fun. I got a pre-bought shop front, and made a room box around it. We made a frame for the room box so that a perspex cover can be put in front (to keep little fingers out). We put in the wallpaper using real wallpaper paste. Hopefully this time it doesn't bubble! Instead of using real flooring, I just used some printed paper. We fixed some shelves in under the windows so that we could put in some window displays. Then it was time for the fun part - filling the shop with pastries and cakes! Im yet to think of a name to paint in, but was thinking of "La Petit Patisserie". It should look nice in the patisserie window. Hopefully kids will pester their mums to take them back to see it and get a treat!
