YAY!!! congrats Julia!!!!!!!!!! I saw the book in the catalog! [img]smile.gif[/img]
Oh cool! Congrats to Julia for getting such an oppurtunity!
Forgive my ignorance, but wha is it about. [img]redface.gif[/img] I remember something about mini food. But could someone tell me more about it?
Cool! Enjoy it, and don't forget to post a review when it comes! [img]biggrin.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]
Congrats again Julia!Post a review when it comes!
Congratulations, Julia!! [img]graemlins/party.gif[/img]
On a little side note: I received my embroidered dress in the mail today and it comes with little directions of how to make an edible purse which I believe is taken from Julia's book, and sure enough off to the side there are credits and Julia's name is there as the creative designer of the purses!! Too cool, Julia!! [img]cool.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/party.gif[/img]
yay! That's so cool!
I know! I can't wait until my B&N gets it in! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

Congradulations Julia !!
I am waiting for mine to come in, I ordered it weeks ago through the library purchasing program which is one of the few perks of working at the library.
Ashley
Umm sorry for sounding like a total dork, but uh what did she publish??
Wow, Judi, what a great congratulations! LOVE the cake! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img] Thank you, thank you, one and all. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
The book is titled Tiny Treats. It was a lot of work writing and developing all the treats but oooh so fun and ooooh so sweet. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
The treats are all edible, scrumptious and, most important, doll-size. Try out the mini Croissants, Petite Fours and the tiny Cakes next time your dolls have tea. This past weekend I took a wee Wedding Cake to my dinner hosts. What fun it was to tell them that I brought them a wedding cake and then open the box to show a teeny cake. The hosts thought it was too cute to cut and eat so they saved it.
I wrote the book two years ago but it took a while to get published. During that time I had to remain silent about the project. Once there was a thread on the board about doll-size REAL food. I just about died since I couldn't say anything or share any of my recipes with you all.
Tiny Treats contains about 50% of the recipes I wrote. Some day I'll put the recipes that got cut in another book, such as the little spaghetti and Tiny Tiramisu, Mini Quesadillas and Hot Chilly & Frosty Sundaes.
I'm looking forward to board members trying out some of the recipes. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Yumm!
Julia
Julia:
Kailey and I are going to pick that up next time we are at AGP. I can't wait to try out the recipes and have a tea party with DD.
Judiaci-can I ask where that cake is from in your signature? I LOVE it.
Lara
Congratulations Julia! The recipes look and sound just wonderful. I will have to get it soon, and my daughters will get a kick out of the fact it was written by an HB member (they love to check out everybody's albums).
We love to cook (and eat) around here [img]wink.gif[/img] . Oh, and my younger daughter's name is Julia, so she'll love that.

Julia,
I loved the Valentine candies you posted about awhile ago, and I made my own set for my dolls (however, they aren't edible, they are FIMO). I would Love to get your book! Keep up the good work, and keep posting harder craft ideas on hostboard, because I love a craft challange.
Fantastic. I can't wait to get one. We will definatly try everything. Thanks so much.
Congratulations Julia! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Thanks for the explanation!
I will have to get me one! I love the idea! I will have to format th recipes to dairy free, but I want to have a doll party and make a bunch of treats... Cool!

Congrats Julia! I'll buy the book this summer once my challenge is over! [img]graemlins/party.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/cake.gif[/img] [img]wink.gif[/img]
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The cake is from my favorite local bakery, Simma's, in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. Kit Girl posted about it in her birthday thread last week. It is where I go for all very special occasion desserts.Quote:

Here is the link. Take a look at their wedding cakes by clicking the bright yellow oval at the bottom of the screen. They are works of art and absolutely delicious.

Congratulations, Julia! This is so exciting. [img]smile.gif[/img] I remember way back when the book was first accepted and you couldn't tell us anything about it! How cool to finally see it published. [img]graemlins/rose.gif[/img]
WOW!!!!
Congrats, Julia!
All sounds lovely and sooo yummy!
There is one problem though: thinking about all this yummy stuff in miniature sizes reminds me that I need to loose weight!!!! Do you think this would be better than Weight Watchers???
LOLOLOLO!!!!! [img]redface.gif[/img] [img]redface.gif[/img]
Ana
It's all about portion control. If we eat only doll size treats, we probably will lose weight. Julia - what a great marketing idea! When AG stops selling the book, you can re-publish it as a diet book, LOL.
Yay Julia!! I'll get the book for sure. Sounds like so much fun!!! [img]graemlins/sun.gif[/img] [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Wow! I had no idea about the book, and I think that is so cool! I may just have to put that on my next order. I love the concept.
Congratulations Julia! [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
Thats just wonderful! Congratulations!!!!!
Nann
Congratulations, how exciting for you...You are amazing being able to keep it a secret, knowing that something this big was happening in your life....wow.....I'm so impressed. If I buy the book would you sign it for me...Gosh someone from out board, I am so proud to have sort of met you....
Mary
Wow! We all know a <font size="10">SUPERSTAR!</font>

I ordered your book too Julia! It sounds like a lot of fun! That is so nice you are able to combine two things you like AND make money! That is awesome! [img]wink.gif[/img]
Shelly
Oh Julia, I remember about the thread on doll food. I bet you were going nuts not able to say or share anything. Thanks so much for the work you did and for keeping it underwraps. My dd's cannot wait to get this. They are bugging me to place an order! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I just love it and the ideas will be a blast when I sit with a bunch of little kids, ages 6-12, and have them try them out in one of our exploritory classes at school! I am so excited!
Julia you are a doll! And what a wonderful inspirational little book you have made for little girls to enjoy with their best friends......their dolls!
