And let's play with fondant!

It's been a while since I last wrote. My life gets busier and more fun as time goes by. On top of that I have had several visitors in the past weeks and it is still going on. Family and friends. It is so nice to see them all...and Luca is having a great time. When we are done with visitors/visits after Easter he is going to be wondering why someone is not coming to visit us again! But then the weather will be better and we will have more time to spend outside. As for now, just now the weather has warmed up enough to enjoy a bit more outside fun, except for days like today, full of rain.
Remember my cake challenge? well we managed to get three of us together, which was a lot of fun, and a good oportunity to practice working with fondant. My friend and I created a beautiful cake for my niece and we felt really proud at the end. Our previous trial was not that successful, and by the time we were making this one, it already felt like a success. It was for my niece who turned 1 already. She liked it a lot and all the cousins did too. They grabbed the clown and the poles in no time after blowing the candle!

Hace tiempo desde la última vez que escribí. Me divierto mucho y estoy muy ocupada a medida que pasa el tiempo. Además de que he tenido varios visitantes en las últimas semanas y todavía están pasando. Familiares y amigos. Es tan bonito verlos a todos ... y Luca se lo está pasando super. Cuando acabemos de tener visitantes / visitas después de Semana Santa me va a estar preguntando por qué alguien no viene a visitarnos de nuevo! Pero luego hara mejor tiempo y pasaremos más tiempo para afuera. Como ultimamente, sólo ahora el clima se ha calentado lo suficiente como para disfrutar un poco mas de estar fuera, salvo en días como hoy, todo lluvioso.

Recordais mi reto de la tarta? por fin logramos que tres del grupo nos juntemos, y ha sido muy divertido, y una buena oportunidad para practicar con pasta de fondant. Mi amiga y yo hicimos una tarta preciosa para mi sobrina y nos sentimos muy orgullosas al final. Nuestro intento previo no fue tan exitoso, y mientras nos iba saliendo este, ya se sentíamos que iba a ser un éxito. Es para mi sobrina que cumplió 1 anho. Le gustó mucho y a todos los primos también. Agarraron el payaso y los palos rapidamente después de soplar la vela!

Wow, you did a great job! I love the bright colors. I made a fondant cake for Terren's 1st birthday. It was much, much easier than I thought and not nearly as cute as this one! You can check out his blog for pictures!
