Faux Cupcakes as Business Card Holders

The faux cupcakes I have sold from my Etsy shop were used in various ways by my customers. They gave them out as gifts to friends. Used as decorations in their homes. Some used them in their shops to hold the prices for their items. Or used as displays to show the flavors of the real cupcakes they sell. Some ordered to hand them out as party favors for weddings and baby christenings or even birthdays. Others used them as place/name card holders in their table settings for their dinner parties.

Recently, a another happy customer sent me pictures on how she used the faux cupcakes she bought from me. She owned a cupcake shop! And she used the faux cupcakes to hold her business cards. She plans to leave these fake cupcakes with her business card in certain establishments as a marketing effort for her cupcake shop. It's a clever idea, don't you think?

Fake of the Day: Ice Cream

...Actually it's still a work in progress. I've been experimenting on materials and in creating the ice cream texture. I remember back in art school (circa 19-kopong-kopong), they use mashed potatoes as ice cream for food photography (not sure if they still use the same trick these days!). Well, I can't use mash potatoes or anything soft because I plan to use the fake ice cream for a different purpose ....like making a super cute bag chain out of it! :D

I'm miss messy Bessy! :p

Dang! I broke my ice cream scooper!

Still looks dry!!!

....looking good, yay!!! :D

Kinda looks like a melting yummy vanilla ice cream, don't ya think?
