Cupcakes Are For Lovers
Nate and Athena had a casual barbecue for family and friends tonight, the eve of their wedding! I was excited to have carte blanche for the evening’s sweets. My only direction was to bring cupcakes! These chocolate cupcakes are topped with a swirl of vanilla buttercream and two hearts (in the wedding colors) stamped with the couple’s initials. I also had fun using some of my cake plates to display the treats.
Cant’ wait for tomorrow’s festivities. Here’s a sneak peek of the photos from the rehearsal!
Hewitt-Altstatt Wedding
Kristie & Ben’s Forth of July wedding has a nautical theme, and I love her idea for the cake topper! This is key-lime cake covered in fondant and decorated with layered paper decorations. This cake is just for the couple (only the top tier is edible), and guests will be served key lime tarts. Stay tuned for a post on those sweet little dishes! I also have to share the photo of the cake at the wedding site! What a great location for a party!
Hewitt Wedding Cake Tasting
My co-worker Kristie’s wedding is coming up, and so I made a key lime cake with key lime buttercream for her to taste. Only she and her groom will eat the cake; the rest of her guests are eating key lime tarts! De-lish!
Abbey & Chad’s Wedding
Abbey and Chad requested a “bubble cake” from Martha Stewart’s wedding book. It’s a great go-to source for creative inspiration. This cake is 6, 8, 10 and 12-inch rounds covered in vanilla buttercream and swiss dots. The bubbles surrounding the bottom of the cake are small glass bulbs. I also made 10 sheet cakes to serve guests.
Tschida Anniversary
Stef and Troy used this unique monogram in their black-and-white wedding, so I recreated it for the top of this anniversary cake. The 6-inch square cake is composed of 3 layers of carrot cake and filled with cream cheese frosting.
