Christmas!!

We did not get a chance to celebrate Christmas at actual Christmas time due to differing work schedules so we just moved it to this past weekend.

It was AWESOME!!

I didn’t get any books, however I did get B&N gift cards which is the same thing!😍

I also got a ton of the MiniVerse sets!!

My box got an upgrade and is almost full again which means I need to pick a week to take off and play with those!

Speaking of presents!

My mama also got me a MiniBrands Create (the Master Chef) for me to try.

I was vastly unimpressed with the MiniBrands Botanicals because they were just clip into place sets and not actual resin sets. I did want to try a food one though and see how it did compared to my enjoyment of the MiniVerse sets.

Here’s what I made!

We begin! The little hat is actually a UV light which is pretty cute tbh.

Everything unpacked and ready to go!

The whip cream was a really cool feature (it’s some kind of glue) and the only problem I had was that it was immediately covered up and you couldn’t see the design anymore so seemed useless.

I still have some left though and can use it for actual whip cream effect on something else!

Next set! Got another UV hat light which seems like a waste since it was a double pack and I shouldn’t need 4hrs of light to cure these.

It’s a MiniBrands thing though. The grocery/food ones have a bunch of bags, carts, etc… in the packs in lieu of the actual mini foods.

It’s not that they aren’t cute and usable, but in this case it seemed like a waste of space when they could have added something else. Like maybe I could have made the pastry myself!

The puff pastry is ready!

I forgot to take a pic after the first set with the white cream and strawberries. This is after the second set with the chocolate syrup and mint sprig.

Behold! The finished products!

These were FAR more enjoyable than the botanical sets. I’m disappointed that there wasn’t extra for me to play with like MiniVerse, but I fully intend to buy more to try and get the whole set!

I’ll try and do a comparison between the two brands when I have that week off. I just can’t guarantee I’ll take pics for every step!

Till next week peeps!
