In the CDHM Forum, we had the pleasure of watching this extremely tiny, 1/144 scale bakery be constructed before our very eyes. And a fascinating work in progress it was to see. Beginning with the micro wooden frame, we were allowed to witness every new portion as it was built and eagerly awaited the miniature baking that would fill it.

And we did not have to wait long. The bakery is now filled with many extraordinary micro cakes. Every variety you could dream of is expertly decorated waiting for you inside this bakery. Clever woman that she is, she has even installed lighting for the structure, so the tiny treats can be seen even better.

Mothers can also rise to just about any challenge! One was recently presented in the CDHM Forum. We wanted to see artisans step out of their comfort zone of 1:12 scale and give something smaller a whirl.
