Happy Housewarming!!

We are so happy that Kristin and Justin finally got to move into a house! The whole family seems happy and relaxed, and they are so much closer to us now!

I was looking for an excuse to try a fondant covered cake anyway, so....Housewarming Cupcakes!! I knew Kristin was obsessed with these little clay houses...

So Jason and I attempted to replicate them with fondant....LOTS of them.

Then I tried covering a little cake with fondant. The fondant kinda outsmarted me this time. How is it possible to cover a 3d shape with a 2D shape with no folds? I guess I need to watch more utube videos and keep studying (or just watch more Ace of Cakes!). I DID learn to dry my fondant things on a curve before trying to attach them to the cake...

Here are the finished products!!

Still gotta work on the writing part....hey, housewarming is a long word!

They were a hit!

Justin and Jason broke in the new grill...
And I bought myself a cute pair of Kristin's new earrings! Check out all the new stuff in her shop!

Cute, what a great post! Thanks! The cupcakes were a hit, I'm going to forward the photos of them to jessicajane, the girl who makes the petite houses :) Do you have more pics from the party?
