These little cuties were a bit of a labour of love, inspired by Moonstruck’s Critters.
They were also a learning curve; using lessons learned from previous creations (such as the need to make a chocolate base for soft truffles, before dipping) and finding out new things I need to figure out or improve (eg. this base was a little too thick, and the delicate apricot centre is totally lost here). However I had a lot of fun making them. I call these two Daisy and Mavis.
Here are their friends:
Wow, a whole mouse army! They look like they’re on a mission…
Thanks Smiley! They are on a mission indeed… a mission to march into lots of waiting mouths 🙂
Steph, These are adorable! A whole extended family of mice! LOVE it!
I’m sure they are extra tasty too!
Thanks Tali! The only downside to their cuteness is that I feel rather guilty biting off their heads…
How many of them did you make?!
Rather a lot… it’s not easy to make small batches! Still, it’s not a problem, they disappear pretty quickly 🙂
