Crumb cake! Where's the coffee! I love making tiny beautiful food jewelry. I don't make it often or in quantities, but when I do...it's a pure labor of love. I seriously love pastries and it shows! The recipe for this particular design is a secret recipe. Suffice to say it's a polymer clay design and it really and truly down to the last detail looks like crumb cake!
Even the plate is of polymer clay that was pressed into a mold I created from a vintage button. While this ring is cute, light, whimsical, and just plain fun, hours and hours of work go into preparing colors, textures, shapes, transparencies, etc.. to achieve all of these individual effects that you see plated here! It's a labor of love. The ring base is ornamented with a floral design, is base metal in an antiqued silver tone, and is adjustable in size. The style of ring is called a bypass ring, meaning the section that adjusts exists under the plate of food, not at the back of the ring...allowing for a great deal more comfort in design!

My journey and fascination with miniature foods began with a book titled, "Making Miniature Food and Market Stalls" by Angie Scarr. What is it about itsy bitsy beautifully made miniatures that draws us in? I don't know...but I'm there...enchanted, bemused, and driven to create from time to time in that way.
