If you can’t eat them, wear them.

From towel cakes to sweet-scented shirts, enterprising individuals now seem to have a similar alternative for enjoying the sweet things you love—sans the calories.

And this is also apparently what Sophie’s Trinkets creator Minerva Jongco had in mind when she made these cute and yummy-looking accessories out of homemade cold porcelain paste. “Its an addiction! I can’t stop making clay trinkets—from little dresses to yummy food—everything miniature and cute!” she writes in her Multiply account.

These miniature parfaits, shakes, donuts, and cupcakes are around the size of a P1 coin and look real enough to eat. Wearing them around your neck is probably the next best thing to devouring these sweets. Each accessory is carefully handcrafted and is supposedly sturdier and less prone to breakage and chipping. They are instant conversation pieces that could brighten up your outfit. You can also consider giving your friends this unique find this Christmas.
