Miniature Push Cart

Someone gave this mini wooden push cart to me.So I decided to start my miniature push cart business!
I have made many types of miniature fried food, such as chicken wings, pork chop, fish balls, spring rolls etc.to sell.



                               This miniature wooden push cart is movable, This is the front size.



                             This is the other size of the mini wooden push cart.



                      This is the top view of my miniature push cart with many miniature food on top



          I have made the fake chili and tomato sauce. The miniature chicken wings and fries look delicious!

               
                   Miniature spring rolls, miniature fish balls (big and small) miniature pork chop.



I bought the mini plastic basket online and I made the mini fake coins. Yes I made the coins. I also
 made the brown paper bags. I made it a bit oily as all my miniature food are fried!


                 I cut off some plastic to make my  mini plastic bag for my miniature push cart business!
                 The glass door can be open use as a stoarage but I have no time to make other stuffs .


            From my hand you can see how small my miniature push cart is .My handmade miniature
            food must small enough to match the cart.

Mini Tarts

I like this mini tarts that I had  just made but it had already been sold. I will try to make some when I got time.




                   The mini plate is about the size of a 20 cent coin.  Look closely at the tarts, the line is
                 a bit different. Most of my students can do the straight one but only few can make the other.



           You can make many different types of miniature clay tarts and put them inside a mini handmade    
              box


            The miniature clay bread  is actually very small but compare to the plate of mini clay tarts, it
            looks quite big!



Below the photos showed the Happy Birthday done by Michelle and her daughter (10 years old). I can tell that they really have fun and enjoyed the lesson.

Once you have learned this basic lesson one, actually you can start to create your own cakes (simple one)  and pastries.  They designed their own cake and they did  very well for their first time.


           


          This Happy Birthday (1st basic lesson)  is done by a 10 years old girl.  Young children can do
        very well if they have patience to sit for at least 2 hours.

Jin Jin Miniature Hawker Stall

     This is another version of my handmade miniature hawker stall.


This miniature hawker stall is bigger than the one I did before. The base is  about 15cm x15


           This is a traditional hawker stall in Singapore  in the 1970s.  You can still find this type of hawker
            stall in some  countries like Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam etc.


I cut every part of the wood  and joined them together and form this miniature stall . After that I
 start making all the miniature food stuffs, such as noodles, veggie, roast duck, chicken
and roast pork.
 
 I have made a wooden miniature chair too. There is a cup, a bowl of noodles and miniature chwee kueh
on the shelf table. 


                 In order to make it look a bit dirty and old, I purposely paint the shelf table.



                    
                             This is viewed from the back of the miniature hawker stall.                        
In order to match this  mini stall, I made the mini chop board, the miniature  knife and the mini soup port 
The size of the plastic basket just match the table.

Do you like my fake oreal  cookies? I have added a glass of mini beer with it. From the picture below , you can see how small is the glass of beer.

               tall so I redo again.

Miniature Cakes

Do you know by watching all those miniature colorful cakes are son tempting! these mini cake  in the showcase can change you mood.  If you feel moody or unhappy just go to a cake shop and take a look at those beautiful cakes , your mood changed! (Don't stand too long or they will ask you to buy one)

I always stand for a while when I pass by a cake shop, to get some ideas and also thinking what types of cake should I want  next time for birthday.

Making miniature cakes consume a lot of time. because  you need to prepare a lot of toppings, icing and design etc.   I have finished all these cakes in few hours time. Hope you like it!


                                        Which miniature cake do you like most?


These are 1;12 scale miniature cakes




                                                 I love all these mini cakes!  Because I have made them all !


                I like my miniature cake model to be simple and neat . Prepare  all the toppings, miniature  
                     fruits( if you want a miniature fruit cake) fake peanuts etc before starting the cake.



 
                     The miniature wooden show case match the miniature cake models very well.

                             I bought the miniature showcase in Thailand few years ago.

Miniature Bak Kut Teh and Curry Rice

Singapore Local Delight: Mak Kut Teh has turned into miniature size! I have repeated making this miniature   bak kut teh upon request. I have added some miniature clay garlic and clay sliced chilli.



          The colour of this miniature bak kut teh is a bit lighter as you see at the hawker centers.(after
           cooking for a long time, the colour of the meat will become darker) but I prefer this colour
          (the original meat colour ) because I do not want the colour of the soup and meat look the
            same.


                                  Added some sliced mini red chili and  mini garlic.                                  





                                          Have a plate of curry rice with bak kut teh?

The metal plate that I use to serve my miniature roti prata is made by me. 
In order to cut the plate nicely you need special equipment to do it.
