our first wedding experience






We had the pleasure of being a part of a wedding this summer!  We worked with the Bride to come up with a beautiful cupcake display of around 300 cupcakes.  We whipped these cupcakes up the day before the wedding and iced them the day of, just before delivery.  The Bride had also provided us with fresh pansies from a relatives garden, which really give these cupcakes a finishing touch.  There were not enough flowers for each cupcake, so we evenly distributed them among the flavors.

The flavors they chose were, Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Swiss Meringue Buttercream, Chocolate Cupcakes with Vanilla Swiss Meringue Buttercream, Vanilla Cupcakes with Milk Chocolate Swiss Meringue Buttercream, and Vanilla Cupcakes with Lemon Swiss Meringue Buttercream.  A delicious selection!

On the day of the wedding we found all the platters set up with a blue background with homemade fabric bunting.  A very beautiful effect.  We had to do a little re-arranging in order to fit as many cupcakes on the table as possible, but in the end I think it looked spectacular!

The Bride had also asked for a few more details, such as the "Sweet" signs to label each flavor, and a dozen gluten free cupcakes, which we purchased from Cake-ology, a wonderful local bakery.

A few weeks after the wedding we were sent a link to the Photographer's blog, Photography by Jodi, and absolutely loved the pictures!  She truly captured the beauty of this cupcake display and made our cupcakes look even yummier!  Make sure you check out Jodi's blog here!  Thanks, Jodi for allowing us to use your photos!

What a fun experience!  We really enjoyed pulling it all together!
