Small scale pies can be made in sweet or savory versions for all kinds of dolls house and play scale scenes. They are fast to make if you have a mold for your pie crusts or tarts. As you will likely make more than a single pie in your modelling career, you might as well make a mold so that crusts and fillings are easily shaped from polymer clay. The technique works for all scales of models. For 1:12 or standard dollhouse scale, a regular bottle cap makes a good mold master once you clear out any plastic liner. If you can't find a bottle cap the correct size for the scale you work in, make a pie crust or tart shell the size you want from polymer clay, cure it, and when hard, use it to make a mold for the rest of your pies.
