Sweets deco cream puff necklace

My new sweets deco cream puff necklace

Here is one of my favorite recent pieces that I made about 2 weeks ago, my beloved cream puff necklace!

It was the first time I made a cream puff so making it was really exciting! I think my favorite part about making it was adding the “whip cream” and the spoon sticking out of it. It looked pretty good till my damn glove touched the cream and messed up the perfect look of it. When I added the top part of the cream puff, the cream started to squeeze out a bit, among other unwanted things that happened. None the less I love it and it looks absolutely delicious!

Once the cream cured I added the toppings and polymer clay sparkles on top. That’s when I started falling in love with my necklace.

I got some gold chain and hooked the cream puff to it but it looked like it could use a tune up, so I added the whip cream and Eiffel tower to the chain. Thus completing this cream puff necklace journey. I showed my family and they love it. I myself want to make smaller cream puff necklaces in the future.

Other then that, I’ve been working on my new blog design. Just looking through tutorials on how to make it better and adding personal touches to it. It’s so much fun going through the html and altering it to your liking. I want to study up on html more so I can know more about it and hopefully make my own full design one day. I have a really good book on it from college but I might just look online for tutorials so I can have that “hands on” experience. Well that’s all for today, I’ll make sure to update soon!

Thanks for reading about my sweets deco cream puff!

Fairy Kei Sweets Deco Macaroon DS Charm

Do you like sweets deco with your gaming, I sure do! This next piece is my newest DS charm. The colors where inspired by the fairy kei fashion. I love love LOVE the pastel colors of the fashion and just the old vintage feel of it all. A lot of fashion reminds me of my childhood the fashion is drawn from the 80’s and 90’s after all.

Anyway, since my “Chunky Macaroon Charm” was way too big to loop in the small charm strap I had to make a smaller one, thus my fairy Kei macaroon charm was born!



My favorite part of making the macaroons was adding the very glamorous sparkles to the clay! I had brought a few different colors of sparkles earlier this year. I was going to use them for my resin, but since that never happened I thought I should experiment with them in my clay crafts. Before I made the shapes of the macaroons I just added some sparkles in the clay and kneaded it in the clay. If I didn’t see enough sparkles then I just add more. The end result was really nice though you can’t see the sparkles very well. Here’s a picture where you can see a sparkle haha.



Really exciting, but next time I’ll add more sparkles in the clay so it will show more. I want the charm to blind me!

Another reason I love this project so much because it was my first time adding swarovski crystals to my charms. Well actually the second, but it wasn’t messy and a total pain. The crystals look great in the light and just add to that girly cuteness to my macaroon charm!





I have to admit out of all the sweets I can make in sweets deco, macaroons are probably a close number one.

NEW SWEETS DECO OMG

Welcome to my sweets deco blog!

After a much needed hiatus and break I’m back with plenty of sweets deco for everyone to devour!

After a break from my sweets deco I decided to give it another go and fell in love with it all over again. I was so stressed out doing them that I just didn’t want to bother with it. But I got my “groove” back and ready to start over… again.

My break out piece is my chunky macaroon bag charm. I finished it weeks ago and was my first bag charm ever so I’m really proud of it.

This is my favorite picture of it which I posted on TheO.



All my family and friends loved the piece, so much that my mom requested one!









I have more finished pieces but I don’t want to show them all in one day.

Besides that I’m still somewhat stressing over this blog design. The one I was working on before the break I don’t like anymore, so I’m pretty much back at square one. I do have one idea that I’m going to go with just to get it out the way, a sweets menu theme! It should be fun vectoring the sweets and naming them.

Since I’m talking about art, I started working in illustrator and making vector images. It’s really fun and different from what I usually do. My art have been getting better and I have a lot more confidence in it. So much that I joined the Manga Bullet Calendar project. So you will be able to buy a calendar with my art in it!

Going back to my sweet deco adventures, I decided to deco my Sony earphones! They are small so the work space is perfect for me. It’s going to be the first time I did this kind of deco but I know it will go well. I will also make one or two x-mas macaroon towers! I brought some foam cones for the project and everything. I’m really excited to start those soon but I will need some more caulk before I start. I’m down to my last one right now.

Thanks for reading about my sweets deco and a happy thanksgiving to you all! See you next time!

Where did The Candy Sanctuary go?

Wow, how late am I? I haven’t updated this place in months, haha sorry about that.

None the less I was working hard on The Candy Sanctuary. I’ve updated my accounts, made new friends, made a fan page, and gotten more followers on twitter. So things have been going well with me.

On the crafting side things have been great also. I’ve made more charms and cakes that gotten a lot of positive feedback where ever I posted them so I’m excited about that.

The first cake is my favorite: My chocolate mousse cake



My second cake the “rave cake” has gotten a lot of attention. I think it has something with the angle I took the picture in.



Then lastly my Nintendo DS donut charm, I want to make more of those..



If you want to see more pictures and charms take a look at my new fan page for The Candy Sanctuary. I update there and I post pictures on my fan page first before any where else so you can view new creations before anyone. Don’t forget to become a fan too!

Also, I’m relearning HTML so I can edit and custom design my blogger page. I want the design to be very sweet with plenty of pastel colors. I also want to make a random girl for it too to complete the look.

So that’s about it. I’m going to try to post everyday about different things so this place won’t collect dust again.

Thanks for reading!

I'm back!

Long time no see!

A lot has happened since my last post! One all my packages have arrived.



Second my birthday was on the 14th, and lastly I entered the New York Anime Fest mascot contest! It was the whole reason I wasn’t here or focus on my business. My entry too almost 2 weeks to do and I’m proud of the result. You can check out my entry here.

I put everything else on hold for the contest so I’m back on track with my business again. To start I’m going to finally add my blog and links to the websites I’ve joined so everyone can see what I’m up to. After that I’m going to continue to design my mascot and other logo designs.

I haven’t made anything either for a while. So I’m going to make some donuts and cakes and finally turn them into cell phone charms and goodies. You should see all the crystals and charms that I have at my disposal now. I’m so excited I’m over loading with ideas!

I am going to go to my huge list of things to do so I’ll see you later!

New packages and ideas!

Happy Friday!

I’m happy to say that a lot of my packages have been coming in this week. Including my glow in the dark paints, resin mold, glitter, and respirator! I have about 4 or 5 more things ready to come in. One of them is containing all my jewelry making supplies. Once I get that package I can truly make my cell phone charms and trinkets, I can’t wait! I have been also making sketches of the things I want to make. A lot of them are sweets but I also have been designing pictures for my resin pendants.

Lately I’ve been checking my list of things to do and seeing that since all my materials are coming in I should focus on designing my logo and brand. I had the very rough sketch in my note book so I finally gave the time to refine it this morning. I really like the way it came out!



I like to read about design especially for a company and branding so I decided to look in one of my graphic design books. A lot of it really expressed that the design should be able to translate what the product is about with out too much design clutter. Not to mention it still have to look nice. I was absorbing everything and looked at my own logo to see how mines stand against what I was reading. I think my logo might be busy and cluttered haha. Before I had my current logo idea I had no clue on what I wanted to look like at all. I wanted to express so many things to like candies, café, rave, and the Lolita fashion that it was hard just to narrow it down to a certain genre. Then one day at work I just saw the perfect logo! It just flashed before my eyes. I sketched it down so I could remember what it looked like. Only till now I decided to draw out the logo completely. I’m planning to finish it in Photoshop too. Even though I really like the logo I’m going to play around with other ideas I have.

With my designing frenzy I wanted to sketch out my original idea of having different types of Lolita for each kind of product I had. Like for my sweets a sweet Lolita, the more tea time goodies would be represented by a gothic Lolita and so forth. For some reason I couldn’t really get a design down that I really like. Or even enjoy the process barely. It just seem like I was trying to get a blood out of a daisy. So then I decided to sketch a different mascot idea I had at while I was working. It was just a more generic girl in a “sweet punk” attire.



To my surprise I really like it. I don’t like her face or hair but the overall I enjoy the idea. Just a regular girl in really cool clothes wanting to stand out. I feel like I can identity with the character so that really tells me I should pursue this mascot design more.

Besides that I made a few ad designs, played Final Fantasy 13, and leveling up my pokemon in soul silver. XD

I hope you enjoyed my ramblings see you guys next time!
