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.

Different from the polymer clay used in another line of delicious-looking charms and pendants also featured here, cold porcelain is another type of clay that doesn’t need to be baked, but it does have similar properties to polymer clay. While it is not real porcelain, it is so called because the finished product looks like porcelain, which is translucent. It is air-dried clay that does not require heating of any kind; after sculpting or molding a piece, leave it in a safe place for at least 24 hours (for a small piece). It is cornstarch-based, which is relatively easy to make at home. It was originally invented for sculpting miniature flowers and is still the most common use for it.
