We've just been making some miniature pastries (surprise surprise!) and thought we'd share with you one of the elements that we needed to make - miniature paper cake cases!

Hey guys, you muct be psychic - I was talking to another 'foodie' today and I said I wish I could buy real paper cake cases!!
ReplyDeleteI do intend to try to make some but it is always the wretched 'time' factor.
They look superb.

oh goodness gracious!! i've been wanting to buy/make paper cases for so long!! you guys are genious if you've made it yourself!
ReplyDeletetried making with paper and by folding and it got so messy! can i ask for any tips on how to do it? if it's a secret then just ignore this comment! :)
Ohh my gosh, they look so remarkably real I can't believe it!
ReplyDeleteOMIGOSH! i tried making some weeks back, they didn't turn out even half as good as yours!
ReplyDelete*tosses her cake casings away*
good job!
Superbe!
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone!!
ReplyDeleteOf course it's homemade, and obviously it's a secret ;-)
...and part of the secret is throwing an awful lot of them to the bin....I mean A LOT :-(
The choice of the paper is a big part of it , and I used this one by chance, and have no idea where to get some more because I had it for years "sleeping" with piles of various"might be useful one day" types of paper....so I might confess I got quite lucky!!
Parfait!
ReplyDeleteIl faut que j'essaye d'en faire moi aussi, ça ajoute une touche de réalisme incroyable!
Et tant pis si on en jette 20 pour en avoir 1 :D
Are you selling these anywhere ? :)
ReplyDeleteYour miniature cake cases are as sweet as your cake miniatures. Incredible - so tiny.
ReplyDeleteWonderful!
