I immediately thought of literary breakfasts - a hobbit pan or series of pans with first breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses; calcifer from Howl’s Moving Castle; your green eggs and ham idea; and more I’m sure! Those are just the top of mind ones, but I think it could be really cute. Or a breakfast around the World Series with the pans painted in patterns or colors associated with that country. I also feel like this could make an adorable mini clock. So much potential! I can totally understand your excitement over this mini piece 😊
Shashouka would look good on that pan. There is so much fried around the world. What about crepes. And fried noodles and fried rice, if it didn't have to be breakfast foods.
Idea: Paint it like a cast iron skillet, make a rib eye steak to put in there, add a pad of butter and spring of either rosemary or thyme. I always cook my steak in a cast iron skillet and that pan looks like a cast iron skillet to me :)
A rapunzel pan! My husband suggested that you make some with black/chalkboard paint for the days menu so one pan would be Monday: That way it is left open for someone to write with chalk what they plan for supper that day.
Swede here! We would have something similar in my family too, open sandwiches with butter, cheese, ham. Sliced cucumber, capsicum and tomato on top too then sometimes juice of some sort and often boiled eggs with a type of fishroe (kalles kaviar)😊
I think it would be really fun if you made a smiley face with eggs and bacon! And i agree with many others that it would be so cute to do book characters like calcifer or some nod to the pan in Tangled
Used to make this when the mold was first released a very long time ago - there are small animals that were made to sit inside - cow, duck and pig and others Would then decorate with moss and flowers or hay and flowers Made to hang on the wall There is also a big version of this more real life size saucepan/skillet
I'm from Switzerland and the breakfast food we usually have is bread with butter and different kinds of jam or honey or nutella. Another popular breakfast food is egg (either boiled, scrambled or fried). For brunch we would add bacon, toast and over all more savory things like little sausages.
We had Tex-Mex breakfast (grew up in Texas in a city bordering Mexico). Once a week, we would have refried beans, scrambled eggs (dad had sunnyside up), hashbrowns, sausage patties, bacon, and homemade flour tortillas. During the week, we had school breakfasts, which were usually breakfast tacos of chorizo and egg or potatoes and egg or sugary cereal. Now, as a grown-up, I make about the same breakfast my mom used to make once a week, but the eggs change to potato and egg, chorizo and egg, omelets, ranchero eggs, or scrambled. The other days of the week, I skip breakfast.
I’m from just south of Houston and I miss migas…on the weekend we’d go to a little hole in the wall restaurant that had the best home made tortillas…I miss it
Fellow Texan here! I’m from south Texas. We have breakfast tacos at least a couple times a week. It’s just eggs plus whatever else you want in a tortilla. I tend to be simple and go with eggs, cheese, and salsa. My kid does eggs, bacon, and tomatoes (with the bacon and tomatoes diced up and cooked in with the scrambled eggs), and my husband switches things up a lot but he usually goes for eggs and chorizo.
I’ve been having malawach with fried eggs and pesto for breakfast. Sometimes I have egg frittata on tortilla with cheese Or hash browns and eggs Always with coffee 😊❤🇮🇱
I live in Pennsylvania. My Mom was PA Dutch, and we ate scrapple, I still do, along with sausage, bacon etc. It cracked my up when you put spaghetti and meatballs in the frying pan. My fam always reheated our spaghetti in a frying pan which everyone I know thought was weird. It's the best way to heat spaghetti leftovers! Love your channel!
Very cool. I love the plane ones without the food. I think one design that would look great would be the olive branch/leaves with olives or one of your native plant series. Fun stuff, Shelby! Thanks!
I'm in the US and I go through phases of what I want for breakfast. My fiance eats breakfast burritos most mornings with eggs, bacon and salsa. I go between breakfast sandwiches of english muffins with eggs, bacon or sausage and cheese, egg-in-a-hole/egg-in-a-basket with either bacon or sausage on the side or bagel with cream cheese and bacon or sausage on the side.
I immediately thought of french toast, which reminded me of croque monsieurs and croque madames. And now I'm thinking of crepes with fruit fillings, and I could go on like this forever! 😂😂😂
I’m from south Texas and our quintessential breakfast here is breakfast tacos. It’s just eggs plus whatever else you want in a flour tortilla. My family usually has them at least twice a week. I usually have just eggs, cheese and salsa. My kid likes eggs, bacon, and tomatoes (with the bacon and tomatoes all diced up and cooked in the scrambled eggs), and my husband’s favorite is eggs and chorizo. We also make migas. It’s leftover corn tortillas cut in to pieces, cooked with the scrambled eggs, and then we just throw in whatever veggies or meats we happen to have. Usually diced tomatoes, mushrooms, diced bell peppers, and a jalapeño or two. If we have leftover bacon or ham, that gets thrown in too. Cook it all together in a cast iron skillet and eat it by itself or with more tortillas. And don’t forget the salsa, lol. I guess basically, we fry up stuff with scrambled eggs and eat it with tortillas.
These are TOO cute! I think your instincts about the resin sauces and syrups is correct. They are adorable without but the Waffles, Spaghetti, Cinnamon Rolls and pancakes would just POP with that finishing touch
I immediately thought of a giant chocolate chip cookie in a frying pan, with some ice cream on top. That is definitely not a breakfast, to be sure. As a french canadian, we have lots of the same breakfasts as you made: bacon and eggs, waffles, pancakes, french toast, cinnamon rolls. We have all the usual American breakfasts also, oatmeal, toast, cereal. Omelettes, eggs benedict, crepes, yogourt and fruit. And peanut butter or nutella on anything. Or maple syrup on anything: on eggs, on bacon, and of course on pancakes, crepes, and waffles.
I LOVE THESE! You could have a breakfast/lunch/dinner set! In Spain, one of our common breakfasts is toast (made with long bread, not sliced bread) with olive oil, tomato and a pinch of Salt. depending on the area of Spain, you can add Spanish Jamon Serrano or some cheese, rub some garlic on the bread, add some pepper if you like it, and the tomato can be sliced, crushed or blended. The tomato part itself can create a civil war between provinces.
An Andalusian here! I found difficult asking for that specific breakfast (tostada con aceite y tomate) out of Andalucía, but once they know I'm from the south they will offer me the toast!
I'm from Sweden. During the week I usually eat oatmeal porridge (rice porridge during December) with dried appels and cinnamon in it, and then I eat my sandwich and coffee at work. In the weekend I typically eat yogurt and müsli, sandwiches and coffee. My son is a picky eater... And he eats either just fruit, a boiled egg with salt, a toast, yogurt or pancakes (if i had time to prepare them the day before).
In germany a fancy breakfast is fresh breadrolls from the bakery, butter, scrambled or boiled eggs, slices of cheese and meat, jam, sometimes smoked salmon with horseradish on toast, fruits and muesli with milk or yoghurt, pancakes and of course coffee, tea, orangejuice and on the weekends a glass of sparkling wine 😊
Germany: I love a good weekend breakfast! Always including breadrolls, croissants, Jam, chocolate spread, fresh cheese, different other cheeses, cut up meets.......... There is no natural end to the toppings 🥹 and I like a giant mug of coffee accompanying it. A warm breakfast (Eggs, Bacon...) would always be something extra special mostly reserved for travels and hotel breakfasts. It is lovely to see your excitement over the pans ☺️
Hello from Texas, USA I love these so much, they are one of the cutest things ever. A few things that we cook in an iron skillet are fried chicken, a grilled cheese sandwich or cornbread. Cornbread would be cute with a slice cut out and a big piece of butter on top. Yum yum.
I’m from Texas too and now I might have to make cornbread in our cast iron skillet this weekend. I haven’t done that in so long. Cornbread with butter and honey is one of my favorites. Her shrimp made me think of shrimp and grits. Or just any kind of savory grits.
These turned out very nice. I realy enjoy the playfulness of the art. On you cinnamon swirls, you need to add a dark brown line following the swirl inside the bun to mimic the cinnamon of the real thing. This would give you more of a feel of the real food. Thank you for all you do and for taking us along on the journey.
I'm french. Some people eat very stereotypicals stuff for breakfast, like baguette with cheese (me included), croissant, pain au chocolat... But some others eat cereals, or brioche. Only a few eat salty food in the morning.
From America. In the southern states cornbread is baked in a cast iron skillet. It’s not usually a breakfast. More of a side dish at lunch or dinner. Some family recipes call for butter on top but others do a light coating honey.
Beautiful pans! I like useful stuff so I prefered the empty one that can be used as a side dish serving plate. Some with your wild native flowers...maybe even mushrooms!😊
I'm American. I have so many different tastes, but growing up I had apple cinnamon oatmeal, cereal, lots of varieties, pop tarts, French toast, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, waffles, and pancakes.
Typical breakfast in Germany is usually cold: Bread with some spread, cheese or sliced cold meat, or cornflakes/granola/muesli. Sundays or special days breakfast is a little bit more fancy, but still cold. No saussages or baked bacon.
You did a great job. I can see these with your pressed flowers in the bottom. Also maybe one in a traditional cast iron color. I love to watch you create such fun art.
I love these so much!! I wouldn’t feel bad about grill marks on the sausage; there’s one with waffles. To me, it tells a story- the dog got outside just as you were bringing your sausages in from the grill to put on the plate next to your waffles. Then you had to spend 20 minutes chasing him around the yard and now you’re heating up your cold waffles and grilled sausages. Sounds plausible 😂
American here! I usually skip breakfast altogether because I am in a rush to get to work. But when I have it, I love eating buttered toast with avocado and everything bagel seasoning. Then I fry or scramble an egg with cheese, put that on top and maybe some Sriracha to top it all off. Sounds like a lot, but it is soooo good and I am full for hours ❤
These are so cute, colorful, and whimsical. My mind immediately pictured them creating a welcoming vibe in a cafe or bistro. Love the functional ones, too.
I really love the mini fry pans. My first thought was to paint a sunshine or smiling sun on the inside. Or chickens. A sunrise coming up behind a hill. 😊
The little skillets are adorable! The story of the sausages could be that they were left over from grilling out, rather than waste the food {which was yummy} they are being warmed up for breakfast. That's something I would do {I actually had left overs for breakfast this morning
Those turned out super-cute. With the hole in the pan handles, they could even be hung up with a cup hook either against the wall or to dangle over the stove.
My mom had a tiny cast iron frying pan that size which I played with all the time as a child. It was actually made to be an ashtray so I suspect that may have been the intention behind this mold. I'm so glad you went a different direction with them. My grandmother and aunt both had a ceramic shop that I played in. Watching your videos brings back such fun memories.
Im Aussie. Hash browns weren't really known in Australia till Macca's introduced them in the early 90's or so with their breakfast. As a kid I had no idea what American's were talking about when they mentioned hash bown's on their tv/ movies. Something else you could do is a couple of cheese and tomato jaffles. I don't think you need to add "sauce". Love the dip pots
Waffles are made in a waffle maker because if you use a pan you got a pancake not a waffle but it's okay it's still very cute and some restaurants serve waffles in a pan
My mom was an art teacher when I was growing up and taught a ceramics lesson that included throwing a plate on the wheel and then making mini food for the plate. So this sent me right back to my childhood!
Fry pans have a flat, wide base, and round flared sides. A skillet resembles the fry pan but has high curved sides, making it a bit deeper. Essentially they are interchangeable.
The frying pans are so versatile you can put a section in for photographs to use as a wall hanging, such as foodie travels with your favorites photographed in them. They would make great prep dishes and nut servers and you could cut out the center and change them into a decorative magnifying glass.
Canadian here! I usually have yogurt with maple syrup, fruit and granola for breakfast! Other things we often have, cereal, oatmeal, bacon and eggs, smoothies, french toast, waffles and pancakes (with real maple syrup, of course!).
Coffee and toast with either lemon curd or avocado. These are so cute and fun, I love the extra details of all the different foods! My favorites have to be the full English and the tomato-mushroom sizzle!
In the IS, a regular breakfast is usually cereal, instant oatmeal, toast with peanut butter or jam, waffles. A breakfast on the weekend or when you have guests might be a combination of pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns. I usually have a protein drink for breakfast these days. My kids like toast with any number of toppings.
I’m from the Dominican Republic and one of the most typical breakfast plates is “mangú con los tres golpes” which is basically: green plantain purée with pickled onions on top, sunny side up eggs, fried cheese (similar to a mozzarella stick, but salted cheese w/o breading) and fried Genoa Salami rounds (about 3mm thick). It sounds like a lot… and it is! But it’s delicious ❤
My parents are from Nicaragua. As a child we ate rice and beans. It's like a fried rice dish. With fried cheese and/or plantain. So good. On some occasions we had the fried eggs and bacon. It's was the American breakfast.
Indian here we normally have savoury breakfast Like Dosa (rice and lentils pancakes) Idli (steamed rice cakes) Poha (flaked rice dish), upma (semolina porridge) Paratha (which is stuffed whole wheat bread) With variety of spicy pickles and chutneys 😊😊☺️
Swede here! Breakfast here is usually like a big spread yes. Lots of different things. But usually it’s like fermented milk (probiotics, kinda like tart kefir/yoghurt) with cereals, flatbread with butter, cheese & vegs. Coffee, chocolate milk or orange juice. Toast with cheese. Boiled eggs with kaviar/fish roe.. & if you’re fancy - THEN you add fruits 😅
They are so cute!!!😍 My jaw dropped! Love the resin idea, it would add nice dimension! I just love love love fake food. I think a pan-fried fish would be fun to see.
Every one of these are just gorgeous. I love scrambled eggs with little cheese sliced stripes and sliced tomatoes on the side. I also love Eggs Benedict. You are such a fun person and I share your joy every time I watch your videos. Deb in USA
I love it ! ❤ I am French so we eat mostly sweet for breakfast. The croissant every morning is a cliché because it is too fat to have it every day. I usually eat cereals with milk, a fruit and a tea. It is very common to just eat bread with butter and jam or chocolate paste. My family is also half Spanish so sometimes we have bread toasted with olive oil, garlic, salt and paprika. I love sharing cultural specialities so I hope to read interesting habits in the comments !
What I do the most for breakfast is eggs or fruit, and occasionally, Greek yogurt. Also I really enjoyed your skillets! Definitely would be fun to hang/decorate with.
Mid Atlantic American here and i typically eat oatmeal, yogurt with fruit and granola, bagel with cream cheese, or English muffin for weekday breakfast. On the weekends, breakfast will have eggs, potatoes, and some sort of bread. It could be breakfast borrito, eggs Benedict, omelette, or breakfast sandwich. Your pans are adorable!
This is not everyday breakfast, but some of my favorite special breakfasts growing up and still as an adult is chocolate gravy with biscuits and rice with butter and sugar. Another staple in the southern us is sausage gravy with biscuits or if you're tight on money or time like when I was growing up sandwich bread.
Growing up my breakfasts were either cereal/oatmeal or pancakes with peanut butter and surup. Now we aren't really a big breakfast family, but when we do it's usually omelets loaded with sausage, mushrooms and lots of cheese and chives or toast with avocado, scrambled eggs and Sriracha mayo piled on top.
Sausages in a frying pan have one dark lime down the length, though, so you can still do color variations.. These seem like a natural for a Welcome sign.
The Skillets would make cute coasters for country style home or even cute spoon rest for the kitchen and then you can put whatever design floral even painted food on bottoms of the skillet
Growing up, I initially got the very typical Dutch breakfast, consisting of some slices of bread or "beschuit" (a very dry and crumbly cracker/bread hybrid thing) with butter and some toppings like jam, cheese, or "hagelslag" (chocolate sprinkles, BIG thing in the Netherlands). My town was blessed with a decent-sized Turkish community, so I could soon start supplementing it with stuff from the Turkish shop, like "sucuk" (garlic sausage), delicious flatbreads, a world of different schmears, and when eggs were added to the mix... I was a very happy camper. As an adult, my go-to is scrambled eggs with kimchi on various types of toast/bread, with just a dash of the US-American "Slap Ya Mama" seasoning mix on there. Quick, easy, and delicious.
Sooooo sweet! My brekkie is usually a bowl with greek yogurt with fresh fruit, linseeds, sunflower seeds, some chopped up dark chocolate chunks and some rolled oats mixed in. Occasionally I change it out with a few slices of whole wheat bread with margarine/butter and slices of cheese or peanut butter or chocolate sprinkles. In pottery class I once used coloured clay slib and used it for painting my work with. I think if you make some red slib and just drop some dollops on the spaghetti it would work as a sauce. Have fun with the clay cooking ideas!
Ahhhh! These are SO CUTE! One of my favorite desserts to make in a skillet is upside-down pineapple cake! Also love seeing the hand sculpting and building! Beautiful work!
We had a plaster of Paris mold that was a skillet with eggs and another with bacon little larger than these, we did the skillets black like cast iron. These were cute and sparked a good memory.
I used to work on cruise ships. And we had different breakfast bars for different countries and their typical breakfast food. I found it really interesting! I have English muffins every morning with PB and coffee and cream ❤
I did an exchange program in Germany for 3 weeks in high school, and they had a similar usual breakfast, with a variety of rolls from the local bakery and spreads plus fresh fruit and such. I’m sure they usually had meats too, but I’m vegetarian and for the time I was there they decided not to eat meat. Which was unnecessary but very sweet of them.
I saw the pans and immediately thought of Calcifer! It would be sooo cute if you painted him on the side with the breakfast in the pan!
Same
Ditto
"May all your bacon burn!" ❤
🔥
My kids named our wood stove Calcifer😊
I immediately thought of literary breakfasts - a hobbit pan or series of pans with first breakfast, second breakfast, elevenses; calcifer from Howl’s Moving Castle; your green eggs and ham idea; and more I’m sure! Those are just the top of mind ones, but I think it could be really cute. Or a breakfast around the World Series with the pans painted in patterns or colors associated with that country. I also feel like this could make an adorable mini clock. So much potential! I can totally understand your excitement over this mini piece 😊
The literary breakfasts is such a good idea!
Love this so much!

Yes it does. I have a yellow one 😊
That sounds awesome
And what about steak for a sub, with the roll being toasted alongside it? Omg, this whole comment section is making my mouth water!🤪🤪😂😅
Spoon rests for your kitchen is what I thought for the pans
A rapunzel pan!
My husband suggested that you make some with black/chalkboard paint for the days menu so one pan would be Monday:
That way it is left open for someone to write with chalk what they plan for supper that day.
Oh and yes on the resin sauces! if you use a uv resin it can be cured quickly to give it a more 3d effect, like syrup on the pancakes.
Those little pans with watercolors are perfect as spoon-rests or coasters! Cute additions to other little pans!
I was just thinking spoon rests! They would be so cute as that.
Swede here! We would have something similar in my family too, open sandwiches with butter, cheese, ham. Sliced cucumber, capsicum and tomato on top too then sometimes juice of some sort and often boiled eggs with a type of fishroe (kalles kaviar)😊
That's also common in Germany but not only for breakfast but also dinner.
I think it would be really fun if you made a smiley face with eggs and bacon! And i agree with many others that it would be so cute to do book characters like calcifer or some nod to the pan in Tangled
A shakshouka and/or a one-pan English breakfast would work perfectly for these! Also, an apple dutch baby. Or a classic grilled cheese!
Used to make this when the mold was first released a very long time ago
- there are small animals that were made to sit inside - cow, duck and pig and
others
Would then decorate with moss and flowers or hay and flowers
Made to hang on the wall
There is also a big version of this more real life size saucepan/skillet

Yes! Migas and chilaquiles are worth waking up for too 😂
I’m from just south of Houston and I miss migas…on the weekend we’d go to a little hole in the wall restaurant that had the best home made tortillas…I miss it

Or hash browns and eggs
Always with coffee 😊❤🇮🇱
I would love to see a pie with a lil slice out of it. The pans are so cute, and I can't wait to see your next designs!
Oh my gosh a series of them with different kinds of pie slices 😍😍😍
And a pie bird in the middle
The pans could also be funky little coasters.
Or dishes for individual desserts such as little tarts.
I'm not sure what I love more - your art or your joy!
I live in Pennsylvania. My Mom was PA Dutch, and we ate scrapple, I still do, along with sausage, bacon etc. It cracked my up when you put spaghetti and meatballs in the frying pan. My fam always reheated our spaghetti in a frying pan which everyone I know thought was weird. It's the best way to heat spaghetti leftovers! Love your channel!
I love scrapple! I'm Australian and we don't have it here but I always make sure to order it when I visit the USA.
Very cool. I love the plane ones without the food. I think one design that would look great would be the olive branch/leaves with olives or one of your native plant series. Fun stuff, Shelby! Thanks!

Usually diced tomatoes, mushrooms, diced bell peppers, and a jalapeño or two. If we have leftover bacon or ham, that gets thrown in too.
Cook it all together in a cast iron skillet and eat it by itself or with more tortillas. And don’t forget the salsa, lol.
I guess basically, we fry up stuff with scrambled eggs and eat it with tortillas.
These are TOO cute! I think your instincts about the resin sauces and syrups is correct. They are adorable without but the Waffles, Spaghetti, Cinnamon Rolls and pancakes would just POP with that finishing touch
I immediately thought of a giant chocolate chip cookie in a frying pan, with some ice cream on top. That is definitely not a breakfast, to be sure.

It would be fun to see things like French toast or lamb chops added to the collection!
You know when you see a nice box and go, “this has potential”? Seeing the skillets brings Potential energy 😆
They came out genuinely so pretty....the colour combinations are so very attractive....wowwww...💖💖

These are so cute, colorful, and whimsical. My mind immediately pictured them creating a welcoming vibe in a cafe or bistro. Love the functional ones, too.
I’d love to see them actually used to serve individual cinnamon buns in a cafe. :)
Omelets, frittatas, and lemon roasted chicken could all be fun
I really love the mini fry pans. My first thought was to paint a sunshine or smiling sun on the inside. Or chickens. A sunrise coming up behind a hill. 😊

hearing 'snosages' so so happy australian :P
Lately I have a fried hashbrown patty with slice of spam n rye lightly toasted
Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner for a kitchen wall would be cute.
My mom had a tiny cast iron frying pan that size which I played with all the time as a child. It was actually made to be an ashtray so I suspect that may have been the intention behind this mold. I'm so glad you went a different direction with them. My grandmother and aunt both had a ceramic shop that I played in. Watching your videos brings back such fun memories.
I am curious on how the smooth pan would have made the waffles...
Those are amazing. Love the idea of using them for dips. I would love to hang them with your beautiful flowers you like to paint.
Im Aussie. Hash browns weren't really known in Australia till Macca's introduced them in the early 90's or so with their breakfast. As a kid I had no idea what American's were talking about when they mentioned hash bown's on their tv/ movies. Something else you could do is a couple of cheese and tomato jaffles. I don't think you need to add "sauce". Love the dip pots
The closet we had to hash brown were bubble and squeak...almost a has Brown's but with veggies
To be fair, 'hash browns' as a term doesn't even refer to the same thing all the time in the US. It depends on who you ask.
Waffles are made in a waffle maker because if you use a pan you got a pancake not a waffle but it's okay it's still very cute and some restaurants serve waffles in a pan
I just love your enthusiasm Shelby…
My mom was an art teacher when I was growing up and taught a ceramics lesson that included throwing a plate on the wheel and then making mini food for the plate. So this sent me right back to my childhood!
Fry pans have a flat, wide base, and round flared sides. A skillet resembles the fry pan but has high curved sides, making it a bit deeper. Essentially they are interchangeable.
Actually I have a cast iron skillet with a very short (1/2”) edge that I use to make pancakes. The short edge makes for easy flipping of the cakes.
These are ADORABLE!! And the delicate patterns on the plain skillets are breathtaking, excellent work!!! ❤
The frying pans are so versatile you can put a section in for photographs to use as a wall hanging, such as foodie travels with your favorites photographed in them. They would make great prep dishes and nut servers and you could cut out the center and change them into a decorative magnifying glass.
Shelby, these are SO CUTE! I don't know why mini food is so adorable but it just is!
The food skillets are super cute! I could see a plain skillet being used as either an individual serving dish or a spoon rest.
Canadian here! I usually have yogurt with maple syrup, fruit and granola for breakfast! Other things we often have, cereal, oatmeal, bacon and eggs, smoothies, french toast, waffles and pancakes (with real maple syrup, of course!).
Coffee and toast with either lemon curd or avocado.
These are so cute and fun, I love the extra details of all the different foods! My favorites have to be the full English and the tomato-mushroom sizzle!
In the IS, a regular breakfast is usually cereal, instant oatmeal, toast with peanut butter or jam, waffles.
A breakfast on the weekend or when you have guests might be a combination of pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns.
I usually have a protein drink for breakfast these days. My kids like toast with any number of toppings.
I’m from the Dominican Republic and one of the most typical breakfast plates is “mangú con los tres golpes” which is basically: green plantain purée with pickled onions on top, sunny side up eggs, fried cheese (similar to a mozzarella stick, but salted cheese w/o breading) and fried Genoa Salami rounds (about 3mm thick). It sounds like a lot… and it is! But it’s delicious ❤
My parents are from Nicaragua. As a child we ate rice and beans. It's like a fried rice dish. With fried cheese and/or plantain. So good. On some occasions we had the fried eggs and bacon. It's was the American breakfast.
Probably one of the cutest things you’ve ever made!!! Such a fun blank canvas that gives you tons of ideas!
This was so cute to watch, your enthusiasm streamed through the screen. Those pans are super cute and the empty ones look very practical ❤
Indian here we normally have savoury breakfast
Like Dosa (rice and lentils pancakes)
Idli (steamed rice cakes)
Poha (flaked rice dish), upma (semolina porridge)
Paratha (which is stuffed whole wheat bread)
With variety of spicy pickles and chutneys 😊😊☺️
It would have been nice to see you paint a black pan 😄
You could add texture to the bottom so you could grate ginger or garlic.
This is a great idea. I have one, and cannot source it again to buy for my kid’s kitchens.
Apple pie, cherry pie with lattice tops, pecan pie, fried chicken drummies ..the possibilities are endless! Adorable!
Swede here! Breakfast here is usually like a big spread yes. Lots of different things. But usually it’s like fermented milk (probiotics, kinda like tart kefir/yoghurt) with cereals, flatbread with butter, cheese & vegs. Coffee, chocolate milk or orange juice. Toast with cheese. Boiled eggs with kaviar/fish roe.. & if you’re fancy - THEN you add fruits 😅
These are adorable! I’m reminded of Entrapta from the new She-Ra series, with the joy over tiny food 😁
Beautiful, they were all lovely but the white pans with the squiggly designs were my favorite
Those are soooo adorable! What a great mold and you did your own thing with it that made it fresh and new..beautiful!
These would also make really cute little spoon rests.
They are so cute!!!😍 My jaw dropped! Love the resin idea, it would add nice dimension! I just love love love fake food. I think a pan-fried fish would be fun to see.
I LOVE them!
A grid of them on a wall would be awesome!
Dutchie here unlike most dutch people i love scrambled eggs and fried mushrooms on toast 😁 for breakfast. I love these lovely pans
Every one of these are just gorgeous. I love scrambled eggs with little cheese sliced stripes and sliced tomatoes on the side. I also love Eggs Benedict. You are such a fun person and I share your joy every time I watch your videos. Deb in USA
I love it ! ❤ I am French so we eat mostly sweet for breakfast. The croissant every morning is a cliché because it is too fat to have it every day. I usually eat cereals with milk, a fruit and a tea. It is very common to just eat bread with butter and jam or chocolate paste. My family is also half Spanish so sometimes we have bread toasted with olive oil, garlic, salt and paprika. I love sharing cultural specialities so I hope to read interesting habits in the comments !
What I do the most for breakfast is eggs or fruit, and occasionally, Greek yogurt. Also I really enjoyed your skillets! Definitely would be fun to hang/decorate with.
Mid Atlantic American here and i typically eat oatmeal, yogurt with fruit and granola, bagel with cream cheese, or English muffin for weekday breakfast. On the weekends, breakfast will have eggs, potatoes, and some sort of bread. It could be breakfast borrito, eggs Benedict, omelette, or breakfast sandwich. Your pans are adorable!
Oh the fry pans! Wall hangings with different farm animals, maybe like a child's drawing?
This is not everyday breakfast, but some of my favorite special breakfasts growing up and still as an adult is chocolate gravy with biscuits and rice with butter and sugar. Another staple in the southern us is sausage gravy with biscuits or if you're tight on money or time like when I was growing up sandwich bread.
Growing up my breakfasts were either cereal/oatmeal or pancakes with peanut butter and surup. Now we aren't really a big breakfast family, but when we do it's usually omelets loaded with sausage, mushrooms and lots of cheese and chives or toast with avocado, scrambled eggs and Sriracha mayo piled on top.
Sausages in a frying pan have one dark lime down the length, though, so you can still do color variations..
These seem like a natural for a Welcome sign.
I’m a vegetarian, but the prawns/shrimp skillet really calls to me! The colors are gorgeous together!
The Skillets would make cute coasters for country style home or even cute spoon rest for the kitchen and then you can put whatever design floral even painted food on bottoms of the skillet
I love these so so much. I would 100% put these in my kitchen, it would match the prints I have so well. They turned out so great!
Growing up, I initially got the very typical Dutch breakfast, consisting of some slices of bread or "beschuit" (a very dry and crumbly cracker/bread hybrid thing) with butter and some toppings like jam, cheese, or "hagelslag" (chocolate sprinkles, BIG thing in the Netherlands). My town was blessed with a decent-sized Turkish community, so I could soon start supplementing it with stuff from the Turkish shop, like "sucuk" (garlic sausage), delicious flatbreads, a world of different schmears, and when eggs were added to the mix... I was a very happy camper.
As an adult, my go-to is scrambled eggs with kimchi on various types of toast/bread, with just a dash of the US-American "Slap Ya Mama" seasoning mix on there. Quick, easy, and delicious.
Sooooo sweet!
My brekkie is usually a bowl with greek yogurt with fresh fruit, linseeds, sunflower seeds, some chopped up dark chocolate chunks and some rolled oats mixed in. Occasionally I change it out with a few slices of whole wheat bread with margarine/butter and slices of cheese or peanut butter or chocolate sprinkles.
In pottery class I once used coloured clay slib and used it for painting my work with. I think if you make some red slib and just drop some dollops on the spaghetti it would work as a sauce.
Have fun with the clay cooking ideas!
Ahhhh! These are SO CUTE! One of my favorite desserts to make in a skillet is upside-down pineapple cake! Also love seeing the hand sculpting and building! Beautiful work!
We had a plaster of Paris mold that was a skillet with eggs and another with bacon little larger than these, we did the skillets black like cast iron. These were cute and sparked a good memory.
So freakin cute!!!! The little bacon and egg is my favorite but the watercolor technique is a close second!
I used to work on cruise ships. And we had different breakfast bars for different countries and their typical breakfast food.
I found it really interesting!
I have English muffins every morning with PB and coffee and cream ❤
I did an exchange program in Germany for 3 weeks in high school, and they had a similar usual breakfast, with a variety of rolls from the local bakery and spreads plus fresh fruit and such. I’m sure they usually had meats too, but I’m vegetarian and for the time I was there they decided not to eat meat. Which was unnecessary but very sweet of them.
