Clarita from Ecuador

Our friend Clarita taught us many things while she was here with us. She also learned some, among others, patchwork and quilting. She barely had time to make too many projects here but she managed to continue back in Ecuador, to teach it to other and to make wonderful things like these that she just showed us this week. Congratulations Clarita! Enhorabuena Clarita!

Meringue cake!

Hello!
Yesterday we had a different type of workshop at Minerva's circle. Pilar taught us how to make meringue cake. Not only she had all the instructions in English and Spanish but she also had a bunch of tricks under her sleeves! We were a nice crowd, hosted by our dear Gladys in her home. We learned how to make meringue and how to put the cake together. It was really amazing! So soft and creamy and light and fluffy mmmmm way to go Pilar! Thank you for being such a great teacher!

Tada! this is how it looked at the end...amazing right?

Here the cook and the host, smiling as always :)

And since we had such a beautiful cake we took the oportunity to celebrate the birthday of a beautiful and much loved woman, our dear friend Gladys. Happy birthday to you!!
