Afgelopen woensdagavond dus op weg naar Boskoop waar Wendy mij en 5 andere (ervaren taartenmaaksters) de kneepjes van het marsepeinen figuurtjes maken zou bijbrengen. Na 4,5 uur werken, schouders stijf van het ingespannen werken, was dit het resultaat. Ben er best trots op... deed gelukkig niet onder voor de anderen. Aan Andrea zal ik nog een mini cursus geven van in ieder geval de draak (voor de vlinder heb ik niet alle spullen)... ik kijk er nu al naar uit dat zij met hopelijk ook dochter Cézanne deze kant op komt.

Last Wednesday I went to Boskoop where Wendy me and 5 others (very experienced cake-designers) would teach me the ins and outs of making marzipan figures. After 4,5 hours working on these, my schoulders tightened because of the intense work, this was the results. I am quite proud of the results and luckily didn't do a lesser job then the others. I will teach Andrea a mini course of at least the dragon (don't have enough materials for doing the butterfly).... looking forward to it and hope that she and her daughter Cézanne will be able to come soon.
