Nutcracker!

Anita built a beautiful Christmas town including a train set in her home in Singapore this year so I thought since Ma didnt have one in Klang and she was throwing a big party back home, I decided to make her one :) But an edible one of course...

So the Christmas tree was made of cupcakes and the nutcrakers were perched on my mum's delicious fruitcake which I painted on to look like brick tunnels.

Little Elves waiting for Santa.... I used desicated coconut to create the snow.

Individual cupcakes arranged on a cone foam ready to be savoured.

I secured this christmas stocking on a wire (since no one would eat it) and stuck it onto the foam.

These Nutcrackers took ages to make especially since every tiny detail was looked into, right down to the boot laces including silver their eyelets. Thank goodness I had many expert elves with excellent eyesight and steady hands to help me. The red one is my favourite :)


Each brick and rail track, was hand painted.... even the wheel and train was given an antique finish with paint.

Almost done, just waiting for the tree..

Thanks for ALL that hard work Audrey and Anita (who just headed up to bed at 11am after an all nighter when this picture was taken)...after about 12 hours work non stop! mind you I had spent 10 hours in Singapore making the bulk on the figurines and cupcake toppings with Lilia a day ahead.

Zach entertaining us while we were all zonked out working in the kitchen.


All dressed up for the party... after about 2 hours sleep *haha*....

I love my mum's TALL Ikea tree! and so does Zach xox
