What is an anniversary without a cake? – This said by the girl who requested gummy cakes when she was a little girl – well…not a proper party, right? Luckily our friend & baker Anna came to the rescue creating the most adorable cupcakes with our figures made out of foundant so we could celebrate this second year of blogging with a sweet touch.
Before starting this sugary post, have you already checked Samantha Heather this Monday with her 3 inspirational bits, she is a wonderful photographer and kind soul, isn’t she? We feel lucky to have guest bloggers in our humble home sharing their most precious moments, thanks girls!
Now, let’s go again to the cake, shall we?…Anna took our About image and with colored foundant created a little figure for Dani, Juno (the cutest! because well, she is also in real life) and myself. She made two of them beforehand but came to our home so we could make together Juno and give the final touches to the complete ensemble.
I love the detail in Dani’s bowtie.
It was so much fun to learn a little more about the craving tools for the foundant and her steps & technique to create the figures. In short, the basics include making good rounded balls and then give the shape with either the tools (preferably since you won’t leave your fingerprints and it’s more accurate) or your hands. It’s exactly the same feeling as working with clay, with (edible) glue and everything.
Juno foundant version almost ready. Meanwhile the real Juno was hard working….
Eep, the boxes in the living room are part of our spring changes in the living room, soon we will reveal the result!
In my tea date with Daniel, the figure ;)
All ready!
Once the foundant figures were ready Anna made swiss meringue with the help of our KitchenAid.
The cupcakes were cherry flavored with swiss meringue roses frosting
Do you play with foundant from time to time? After the experience I thought it would make a very fun workshop for kiddos, plus they get to eat their figure afterwards! Are you wondering were our figures are? Don’t worry they are not in our bellies, they will be displayed at home inside a flower pot :) Thanks again Anna for playing with us! You’re a sweet one! :) – no pun intended! (or maybe it was… ha!)
Chicos, muchas felicidades!!! Enhorabuena!!! Ya dos años y han sido dos años maravillosos, admiro mucho todo su trabajo y su talento. Sigan compartiendo con nosotros momentos tan maravillosos y lugares tan especiales.

Jajajajajjajajajaja, hi ha alguna foto, n’hi ha ;)
my heart just broke right in half- this is the cutest thing, ever! i now need to find a pastry chef friend so I could get the same sweet little cupcakes haha. It was really cool to see some of the behind the scenes action- it doesn’t quite look as intimidating when you see the steps. Also, your cat is such a grumpy cutie :)

Thanks Marlen!!! :) It was fun to be involved in making them – well at least with one out of three ;) If you’re good with modelling clay this should be quite straightforward but a pastry chef friend is always handy ;)
Oh my goodness, this just made my day! Congrats on your second blogiversary!
Thanks Mindi!! :) Happy to hear!
This is so awesome! They all came out great :) I love Juno’s of course!
Hahaha, somehow Juno’s version always is the best ;) ;) – human mom talk, y’know!
wow!! they exactly look like you!! do you want to try to do this with papers? :)) maybe we can do something together when you come to our city!
and happy blogivarsary!! xoxo
Thanks dear! :) Oh paper figures would be so cool! Count us in when we are able to visit your lovely city! :)
did you really eat them in the end? I could never do that. too cute! I would keep them in the fridge or freezer forever :))))
Hahahaha, nono we are displaying them in a flower pot, we read that they can resist for years like this :)
These are so cute, I couldn’t bear eating them! Just kidding :P How can I NOT eat something that looks as delicious as this?? -Audrey | Brunch at Audrey’s
:) :) LOL I think it would be similar to cannibalism in my case, but totally would eat one figurine from another couple with a cat that were not us ;)
Anna is so clever – how perfect did they turn out! I love all the little details, like your heart bow and dani’s bowtie and Juno looks incredible!
