One day I decided that I wanted to learn how to make desserts, I love to eat them but I didn't know how to make them, for that moment I had as a reference the delicious desserts of an aunt and a cousin, so maybe I thought that in my veins I could run the blood of a pastry cook.

Un día decidí que quería aprender a hacer postres, me encanta comerlos pero no sabía cómo hacerlos, para ese momento tenía como referencia los deliciosos postres de una tía y una prima, así que tal vez pensé que en mis venas podía correr la sangre de una pastelera.

Then I dedicated myself to learn how to make desserts in a self-taught way, I searched the internet for recipes, watched many cooking programs and practiced.

Entonces me dediqué a aprender a hacer postres de manera autodidacta, busque en internet recetas, vi muchos programas de cocina y practiqué.

Nota: En el momento en que empecé a hacer postres era más fácil poder adquirir los ingredientes aunque no se conseguían con mucha facilidad, eran menos costosos que ahora. Vivo en Venezuela y, como seguramente habrás escuchado muchas veces aquí en la blockchain, los alimentos son muy caros, así que ahora no puedo hacer tantos postres como antes.

Note: At the time I started making desserts it was easier to get the ingredients although they were not very easy to get, they were less expensive than now. I live in Venezuela and, as you have probably heard many times here at the blockchain, food is very expensive, so now I can't make as many desserts as I used to.

After I learned how to make the cakes I became very interested in the decoration and became obsessed - yes I became obsessed! - with the cupcakes, I prepared and decorated them to eat at home (I learned how to make the Fondant and also the Pasta Roy). In addition to making them for my own consumption, I received some orders, as is the case with the ones I am going to present to you.

Luego de aprender a hacer los pasteles me interesé mucho por la decoración y me obsesioné - ¡sí me obsesioné! - con los cupcakes, los preparaba y decoraba para comer en casa (aprendí a hacer el Fondant y también la Pasta Roy). Además de hacerlos para consumo propio recibía algunos pedidos como es el caso de los que les voy a presentar.

This was an order from a former co-worker for her niece's first birthday. She told me that she wanted some cupcakes related to the beach because the party was going to be held in a swimming pool.

Este pedido lo hizo una ex-compañera de trabajo para el primer cumpleaños de su sobrina. Ella me dijo que deseaba unos cupccakes relacionados con la playa pues la fiesta iba se iba a llevar a cabo en una piscina.

The first thing I did was to look for reference images, it was the first time I was going to model marine figures, so I looked and looked until I was sure of what I was going to do and I chose my color palette.

Lo primero que hice fue buscar imágenes de referencia, era la primera vez que iba a modelar figuras marinas, así que miré y miré hasta que tuve la certeza de los que haría y elegí mi paleta de colores.

Then I selected the main characters for the group of 24 fondant toppers for the cupcakes:

Luego seleccioné a los personajes principales para el grupo de 24 toppers de fondant para los cupcakes:

  • The playful red crab.
  • El travieso cangrejo rojo.

  • The bright starfish.

  • La tierna concha marina.
  • The tender seashell.

  • No podía faltar una linda sirena y el número 1 por tratarse de un primer cumpleaños.
  • Couldn't miss a cute mermaid and number one for a first birthday.

All the topper figures were placed on a textured circle, I remember I made that texture with the tip of a nozzle, circle by circle.

*Todas las figuras de los toppers estaba colocadas sobre un circulo con textura, recuerdo que hice esa textura con la punta de una boquilla, círculo a círculo.

The cupcakes were made of vanilla and I also decorated them with buttercream in an aquamarine tone to resemble water and I placed candy pearls of different colors and sizes to give a "marine" look and applied edible glitter.

Los cupcakes eran de vainilla y también los decoré con crema de mantequilla en tono aguamarina para asemejar al agua y coloqué perlas de caramelo de diferentes colores y tamaños para dar un aspecto "marino" y aplique brillantina comestible.
