B-r--r-r...it was a brisk walk down a frosty lane to the dollhouse bakery this morning. Think my toes are frozen. But now that I'm here, and happily reeling from the aroma of cinnamon cakes baking, it was well worth it. While I wait for my steaming mug of peppermint cocoa and sugar donut, I'll just browse a bit. Those candy apples look good don't they? And is that ribbon candy? Oh my, if I hadn't photographed this scene myself I'd swear it was real.
I know a few doll's who would love this!
Looks like a gingergread house is in the works upstairs in the kitchen too. I heard the Bakery Chef talking; said it was a special order for a holiday bash up the street. Hope I get an invitation. Might me a bit hard squeezing through the door though. Maybe the dolls will allow me to peek through the windows instead.
But for now, need to relax, sip my cococa, and enjoy a *little* holiday scenery.
By the way, Grace added a few NEW additions to her etsy shop this morning. Note: No guarantees for Chirstmas delivery, but we'll do our best!
Love the sweet treats! Tried to order 2 cake slices but Etsy is frozen, oh well. maybe one day I'll get some for earrings!
Just lovely work!

Don't want to clog the comment box, but just wanted you to know that I did get my two tiny pink cake slices! No hurry for shipping, they are all for ME!! Can't wait to slip them onto some french wires and slip them in my ears!

Oh my goodness! That is cuteness overload! Wow - what a talented family. I want to visit the bakery, though I'm afraid I'd get fat if it was in my neighbourhood! :)

I swear--your dollhouse bakery postively boggles the mind. It is so awesome and I agree with you wholeheartedly--it all seems so very, very real. I just love it!

Oh my! I just *adore* that dollhouse of yours. It looks real and storybook-like at the same time.

Such a magical tour.

Vicki, When ever I see all this beautiful scenes, I think of those stories about how someone got started in a career or business, just a whim when they were a child and I think of Grace. I don't know if it's somehting she would want to grow into something grand but she has the talent to do it and I see a great story unfolding! Happy Holidays to you and Your family!
I never get tired of see those cute mini rooms!

Oh, I love this miniature Christmas spirit!

Please pass on my compliments to the "chef!" She must have the Keebler elves helping her, I don't know how she can make such perfectly "baked" tiny goodies! Hope you all have a warm and merry Christmas! xo

I wish this was a real bakery! Fabulous talent that girl!

When I saw the first picture I thought it was a full size cake shop. You are so clever! I've been wondering if I could manage to make a full size gingerbread house, never mind a miniture one.
Enjoy the cocoa and donut.
