Each year to mark St Valentine's Day, we create an especially romantic cake. This year "Le Valentin" 2010 is a giant heart-shaped pink macaroon decorated with raspberries, raspberry macaroons and a white chocolate Eiffel tower. There's even a special commemorative doily which is signed and numbered.
Chaque année, pour célébrer la Saint Valentin (le pauvre!), nous proposons un gâteau original trèèèèèès romantique. "Le Valentin" 2010 est un macaron rose géant fourré de crème à la vanille et décoré de framboises fraîches, de petits macarons, de pistaches, de feuilles en pâte d'amande, d'un petit coeur et d'une minuscule tour eiffel en chocolat blanc....comme toujours c'est une édition limitée et numérotée...
But this year, we're keeping one back, and it could be yours....
Mais cette année, on en met un de côté, et ce pourrait être pour vous....

I have loved miniatures for over 30 years(you can not even imagine my) collection but to be able to ADD PARIS to my love on one blog site such as yours makes me smile every time I visit your site, your foods and your love for PARIS.
ReplyDeleteSo on this Valentine's Day I say
thank you and I oh... so wish I win your cake1
I have followed your wonder food since you were racking up incredibly high bids on EBAY. Your cakes and goodies are always good enough to eat!!! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI have just recently discovered your blog and your etsy site and have loved minis for 5 years! Your creations are so realistic and delicious looking! I am a college student so I'm very poor :) and winning this lovely little cake would be so much fun!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines's Day and thank you for this wonderful opportunity to WIN one of your fine miniature creations! I've admired your work for a couple of years now, adding to my love of miniatures that started almost 30 years ago with the biggest dollhouse I could buy in the store! It is now (after a couple of "remodels) a treasure full of lovingly purchased memories & my own creations dedicated to this cherished hobby of mine. The best to you in the years to come and one of these days I'm sure I will own one of your precious originals!

ReplyDeleteEmma's and Neil's miniature food is among the most realistic, most appealing, most artistic, and most fun in the entire miniatures field. This comment is from person who is a Registered Dietitan with professional education and training in "real" food, as well as over 30 years as a serious collector and shop owner in the miniatures industry. To own a piece of emmaflamminiman's work is to posses a real treasure!
ReplyDeleteQuelle super idee vous avez la !
ReplyDeleteLa Saint Valentin est la fete de tous les amours. Epoux, Enfants, Parents, Amis et.... Amoureux ! Votre creation est splendide, vous qui savez si bien faire connaitre les specialites francaises jusqu'aux Etats Unis. Continuez le plus longtemps possible pour le plaisir de nos yeux et (en reve), de nos papilles. Merci.
I am relatively new to miniatures, but yours are my 'benchmark' of what I would like mine to one day look like! Your level of realism is truly amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteYour website is the one I have been visiting first every day, since I discovered it a few months ago :)
ReplyDeleteI love each and every one of your little creations, they are gorgeous!
Happy Valentines day for you too! I would love to win the cake, it looks very very tasty..
ReplyDeleteAhhhh!! So beautiful! And so easy to have a chance to win:-)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jonna
Thank you very much for this chance!
ReplyDeleteYour work is stunning, very real, but still full of character and the like that makes the viewer smile and dream. So thanks for making these little dreams for us to see...

Ich liebe euer "Mini Food". Ihr habt immer so tolle Ideen. Seit ich eure Leckereien das erste Mal bei Ebay gesehen habe schaue ich mir alle eure neuen Sachen an.

Happy Valentine's Day! You are truly the best at what you do.
ReplyDeleteLove it so much!
I absolutely adore your miniatures and get so excited everytime I see them!!!! You are exactly the reason why I love this miniature hobby so much!!! I would be flattered to win this gorgeous, pink cake creation as I have nothing in my collection as wonderful as this one looks!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your miniature pastries. They look delicious enough to eat!
ReplyDeleteI wish you'd submit a "how to" in one of the US miniature mags - if nothing else, it would go to show how much work does go into each creation. I don't work for any of them, I'm just envious of anyone that can make clay look like realistic food in 1:12 scale!
I would love to participate in this Valentine treat!!! Your work is exquisite and I have been following you for quite awhile!
ReplyDeletePatty
Happy Valentine's Day! :D
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful cake. I wish it was real and on my kitchen table waiting for me to eat it. I love your work.

Words cannot describe your creations! They are truly exquisite! I just discovered your website this year and I have already acquired 2 pieces and would love to have many more!! Keep creating these scrumptious goodies. Thank You for sharing your talents with us miniature lovers!
ReplyDeleteHi Emma & Neil!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day and thank you for sending me notice of this wonderful "giveaway" offer of the beautiful Valentine's Day Cake this year!
As you know, I have been a FAN for many years and LOVE and adore all my minniman items! My grandson was just looking at the Spiderman fast food hamberger set today and was wishing it was for REAL so he could eat it!
Anyways good luck in the future in all your creations and I hope to acquire many more for my collection!

ReplyDeleteHi Emma,
ReplyDeleteI have purchased several of your limited Valentine cakes in the past and many of your other beautiful French food dishes. You are truly amazing in your designs of miniature foods. Having had the lovely experience of visiting France many times and having a French godchild who is now an adult, I am truly appreciative of your mini work. C'est si tres bon!

ReplyDeleteMiniature food is taken to new heights - the Eiffel Tower, for starters - with EmmaFlam and MiniMan. Creative geniuses/genieI? Everything they create gives new meaning to the words "eye candy"!
ReplyDeleteFrom Molly
Quelle merveille ! Ce que j'aime en plus de vos miniatures (qui sont si réelles)c'est la façon dont vous décrivez le gâteau comme un vrai pâtissier. J'aime aussi le style de vos décorations des gâteaux.
ReplyDeleteGeneviève
Emma et Neil, j'ai déjà cédé à la tentation...pour l'offrir à mon mari, surprise !
ReplyDeleteMais si j'avais la chance de gagner, je l'offrirai ! Et sûr, ce St Valentin apporterai beaucoup de bonheur !

ReplyDeleteI am writing from Albuquerque, New Mexico USA. I found you on YOU TUBE when I accidentially came across THE MARIE ANTOINETTE COLLECTION. Now, I want to be a miniture artisan and I have purchased everything in order to begin. After watching many tutorials on YOU TUBE, I have made my first miniature vignette - a small table set with a croissant, strawberries, cafe au lait and a travel book on Paris!!!! I never knew such a hobby exsisted and I want to become a part of this little, tiny world!
