Ximena Sempertequi flew in from Miami, Florida to teach our 3D baby and bear class. Ximena is a fabulous instructor as demonstrated by the sweet babies created by members who were lucky enough to take her class.

Carmen Jurjo is a talented cake designer and vendor. Here she is showing Shauna how to create a sweet gumpaste purse.

Ximena sold molds for the 3D baby, peapod babies, baby shoes, onesies, fairies, baby shoes, and also brought in some very interesting sugarcraft magazines from Argentina. Vendor Carmen Jurjo also had a large supply of cutters, pattern embossed rolling pins, and formers. I personally went absolutely crazy shopping and purchased and assortment of molds, cutters, and an issue of Utilisima Especial Tortas: Decoracion Paso A Paso. I'm not fluent in Spanish but the magazine does show everything "paso a paso" step by step, and I fell in love with several cute figurines and special Latin American techniques I want to learn.
