I would suggest using a Photoshop method. There is a very simple one that just uses a gradient quick mask followed by some lens blur (or gaussian blur). It's very effective but doesn't require a tiltable lens. I've seen many tutorials on it. Google is your friend.
You could get a lensbaby or something similar but I've never seen results from them that I liked. A view camera (I use a 4x5) is probably the only effective way to accomplish this without post-processing.
Post processed (Photoshopped) tilt-shift miniatures are a legitimate art form. Have fun with it. Post your results here.
