EASTER BUNNY CAKE

Slowly but surely I'm getting back into the swing of things! I've been itching to make a EASTER BUNNY cake and last night after dinner was made, babies were fed and changed, dishes and baby bottles were washed, lunches were packed and little ones were read to and put to sleep, I was able to squeeze in a bit of time to make this adorable cake! I didn't go to bed until 1:00 am, but after seeing the finished product, it was worth it! Now to find it a new home :)

EASTER GOODIES AND WHAT IVE BEEN UP TO

After 9 months of pregnancy and a year full of making wonderful memories with my little man and my little princess, I finally feel like I'm getting back into the swing of things. Don't get me wrong, I still have my hands full having a full time job, being a full time mommy and part time party planner, but I have been trying really hard to get in a few moments here and there to work on my Dollhouse Miniature Creations. I plan on making a few more pieces but for now here are a few Easter inspired items I made and had a blast doing. Mini making is almost therapeutic for me. Also, here are a few shots of the newest addition to the family and his older sister :) Amazing how fast they grow up!!

ROSCA DE REYES aka THREE KINGS CAKE

Last night I was able to squeeze in some time to make a Rosca de Reyes or Three Kings Cake as is translated in English. For those of you that have never heard of this. Here is a little history on it:

Three King's Cake (or bread) is closely allied with the traditions around the Epiphany (January 6th). This date commemorates the visit the Three Wise Men made to the baby Jesus in Bethlehem. In Mexico, the day is a gift-giving holiday. Tradition states this bread be served, garnished with the "jewels" of fruit and nuts. Usually a small clay or porcelain doll is baked inside. The custom is that whoever finds the doll must give a party on Candlemas (February 2nd).

Now that you're all educated on the matter, here are some pics :) Enjoy!

2013 CHRISTMAS COLLECTION

Tis the Season to be baking!! Miniatures of course! :) I am now 3 weeks away from giving birth to baby Mateo and yet I couldn't resist pulling out the clay to make some Christmas miniatures. I can go all year long without making something but come the holidays, my need to create does not let me rest!! Aside from the fact that I cannot resist the urge to create Christmas pieces the sales I have made so far will come in handy when I'm on maternity leave from work so it's a WIN WIN situation :)
Anyhoo, this will most l;ikey be my last post for the year unless I can squeeze in a few for mini creations, so I would like to wish all my mini friends a VERY Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy New Year!!!! May the New Year bring health, happiness and lots of mini creating to you all!
