It is absolutely mind-boggling how fast time flies. Four weeks ago I was in hospital, having given birth to Lil' J/Brigadeiro #2, who arrived 6 days early on his big sister's 2nd birthday (who in turn, had arrived 10 days late 2 years prior).
Two weeks ago, I threw a very small birthday party for Lil' J, which sounds a little crazy, but then again...I had already made the cupcakes, birthday cake and pao de queijo (before heading into hospital, the day before the original scheduled birthday party - the cake and cupcakes only needed last minute decorating...), and with both my sisters in town (overlapping only by a few hours - one from London, the other from Sydney), it was the perfect excuse to do so (a smaller affair than originally planned, mostly family)..Lil' J had an absolute ball!

Oh yes, I did indeed make these! These may not look impressive to most, but I had never used fondant icing before, and these little Winnie the Pooh's and Piglets were made from scratch using a marshmallow fondant recipe. I had also never used a piping bag in my life (nor food colouring, for that matter!)
Those little letters took me forever to make, haha! My mom helped ice the cake as I decorated the cupcakes until way past midnight...Yes, there is a chunk missing from the candle, I fear it may have gone into Lil' J's tummy.
