Back in January of this year, I made these for my good friends who were expecting their first child. Since that post, they have become parents to a beautiful, healthy baby girl who, at 100 days expressed interest in writing her first post.
Hi, I'm Kiernen! I recently turned 100 days and celebrated by throwing an eight-hour party for family and friends. Mind you, I slept through half of it, but you can't fault me - sleeping and eating are a huge part of my growth regimen. In fact, this will be a short post, as I am following a very strict feed-and-sleep program.
The events leading up to my delivery were well documented in the birth announcement penned by yours truly and shared with family and close friends while my exhausted parents slept. I've summarized for this purpose.
It's quite a riveting tale of speeding, being pulled over by the police, mommy setting the police straight and getting out of a ticket, daddy panicking the entire way and forgetting to pack a change of clothes, but somehow packing a kettle instead, mommy being fully dilated upon arriving at the hospital, me stubbornly resisting against mommy's pushes for ten hours and finally heading to my new home four days after being pushed from my home of almost nine months. I am tired just reliving the events.
Fast forward to 100 days later and a house buzzing with excitement and my favourite thing that I can't yet eat, cake! But I digress...
In addition to all the wonderful food, and I mean a whole lot of food, there was cake! Cupcakes for my guests to enjoy and a little tri-colour cake made especially for me, which, when cut, revealed a soft, sponge-like cake bursting with vanilla beans, and the prettiest colours I have ever seen - SQUEEEEE!!!
It's nap time again, but I hope you enjoyed my post. I am pretty sure I'll be back in the near future. In the meantime, feel free to leave me a note below. I'd love to hear from you.
xoxo, Kiernen

Such a sweet post by little Kiernen 🙂 Congratulations to her and her on this wonderful milestone. Your cupcakes look beautiful (love the fondant design) and did you also make that gorgeous cake? Pretty sure you did.

J, I just wanted to simply say Ken and I were in awe of the baked delights. I loved the vibrant colours you used. The red velvet cupcakes were chocolatey and moist. The sweet smelling vanilla bean cake was light and fluffy. The kokeshi doll and fonts in fondant was just the 'icing on the cake"!
Thanks for celebrating this mini milestone with us ;o
Kiernen is napping as I type but she sends her love and looks forward to seeing Auntie Jacquee very soon!
