q-Blossoming and Hermite-Padé approximants to the q-exponential function

We derive explicit expressions for the type II Hermite-Padé approximants to the q-exponential function using the q-blossom of its partial sums. In particular, this derivation leads to an interpretation of the Padé approximants as control points of a q-Bézier curve defined in terms of the partial sums of the q-exponential function.
