The Goode Wyfe Bakerie
I have a really beautiful collection of springerle cookie molds and one year, while I was making my springerle cookies, I had the thought that perhaps I could make the molds in 1:12 scale... just for fun. As it turns out, I could. Springerle cookies have been around for over 500 years, and I thought perhaps it would be neat to build a medieval bakery around my new miniature cookie molds. Then one day I was perusing an antique shop and there sat a neat old miniature barn that appeared to be the perfect housing for my medieval bakery. I bought it and began the transformation.
This piece tells the story of a day in the life of a baker from the middle ages and the process of making springerle cookies... with the historical inaccuracy that a woman might actually have been a baker in those days.
The lovely baker doll is by Kathi Kuti; the wonderful bread and rolls are by Anne Caesar, The Kitchen Captive; the stoneware is by Jane Graber; the barrels and some baskets are by Al Chandronnait; the pewter is by Jim Ison; the basket of apples is by Hope Elliott; the wood stand is by Fred Cobbs.
This piece is in my collection.
