Why You'll Love It

This charming dessert miniature by Tomo Tanaka of Nunu’s House, Japan showcases the artist’s extraordinary ability to transform everyday sweets into remarkably lifelike 1:12 scale sculptures. The composition features two delicate ice cream cookie sandwiches, each crafted with tiny textured chocolate cookie wafers and filled with realistic hand-sculpted ice cream—one mint chocolate chip and the other classic vanilla. The desserts are presented inside a small white porcelain square dish, accompanied by a tiny dollop of whipped cream topped with a miniature mint sprig and a slender wooden skewer, as though served in an elegant café or dessert bar. Every detail—from the crumb texture of the cookies to the creamy layers of the filling—captures Tanaka’s signature realism, creating the illusion of a freshly plated dessert.

Tomo Tanaka is widely recognized as one of Japan’s most celebrated miniature artists, internationally admired for the remarkable realism of his Nunu’s House miniature food creations. Working entirely by hand with clay and mixed media, Tanaka carefully sculpts each element from scratch, often spending weeks perfecting a single miniature composition. His pieces are rarely available outside Japan and are highly sought after by collectors who appreciate museum-quality miniature craftsmanship. This delightful dessert scene is a perfect addition to a dollhouse café, bakery display, patisserie counter, or summer dessert vignette, where its playful realism can truly shine.
