She just got back from teaching English in China for a year.
She spent 11 days in Tibet.
Her Mandarin is much better than mine.
The day before, she was walking around downtown Toronto in a bridal gown (to promote a wedding contest).
She sends me postcards from her travel.
She sent in these lovely lyrics before.
It's Julia!
Our friend was in town (and in the country) and had been craving cupcakes for a year now. So we had her over to bake. We taught Julia some simple fondant work and gave ourselves a mini contest.
The Three Blind Mice Contest
- Using the extra pink fondant, make a little mouse.
- No extra details are required, only the body, tail, and ears.
The top view.
The back view.
So who made the best mouse? Please let us know in the comments below which one you liked (L, M, and S). We'll reveal who made which later on! ;)
Check out the beautiful cupcakes of "Thanks" Julia made for her friend Carolyn!
Love them all, but my favorite is the Medium one.
ReplyDeleteM is just an absolutely adorable mouse, but all three are cute :-P
ReplyDeleteP.S. Your cupcakes give me inspiration to eventually open my own bakery some day! Keep up the awesome blog!
I'm going with M.
ReplyDeleteM!
ReplyDeleteM - something about her ears and the little bend in the tail!
ReplyDeleteHayırlı haftalar. Ellerinize sağlık. Çok şık, görünüyor.
ReplyDeleteSaygılar.
Tee hee what a funny post! I thought the medium one too, then realise all the other commenters agree! M is the winner!
ReplyDelete"M" wins for me because of the cute tail.
ReplyDeleteM because I love the delicate little tail :-)
ReplyDeletemedium please!
ReplyDeleteI love them all but my favorite is "M". She is so pretty and delicate and yes, I love her tail.
ReplyDeleteI also love the pretty cupcakes made by Julia.
M for sure. The tail is very realistic!
ReplyDeleteGotta go with M!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteYou're all too kind, let me reveal the mouse creators:
Small - Julia
Medium - Sylvia
Large - Howard
Howard's reasoning for the various sizes? "My fingers are bigger!" But he did make sunglasses for his mouse!
Thanks again for your comments, it was a fun little challenge for us! =)
