Some materials lend themselves to particular types of miniatures. Delight TM air dry clay shrinks slightly as it dries and has a surface and texture that lends itself to mimicing marshmallow and bread textures in miniature. It is also easy to custom color with watercolor paints mixed into the clay. All of these properties make it a great choice for modelling miniature marshmallow treats which resemble popular "Peeps" candies.

These tiny cupcakes are great decorations for a range of traditional miniature scenes but also work well used to decorate an Easter tree or used as beads for Easter jewellery. Decorate them with bunnies or chicks, or add some of the tiny chocolate easter eggs, or the marshmallow treats for decorations.
