Easter Treats

Hope everyone is enjoying fabulous weather as spring gains more ground in our little corner of the world on the East Coast. :)

And fabulous mini-making too of course!

Little by little, the spring bakery I'm working on grows.....

Ooo-la-la! Some fancy-schmancy chocolate eggs! Topped with a raspberry, and raspberry filled.  

I always loved chocolate bunnies in my Easter basket.

And white chocolate ones too! :)

Another Easter cake, with lots of whipped frosting (I'm experimenting with piping. Not quite there yet :) Needs more definition in the piping. I'll save that for a future post on piping methods.

A flexible bunny mold makes miniature chocolate much easier! I made this silicon mold using an old tiny bunny charm.

Bunnies multiply fast, don't they? 

And then I used a jewelry finding to make a flexible fancy egg mold. 

I filled the eggs with "raspberry" filling using an awesome new tool - a Jacquard Fine Line Applicator  that Polymer Clay Express had asked me to try out. Works great with Liquid Fimo to really capture those fine details and features. 

The set comes with three tips in .5mm,  7mm, and 9mm sizes, and a squeeze bottle. I used the .5mm size to pipe the raspberry filling into the tiny openings all around the sides of the chocolate eggs. It's ultra fine and easy to control.
