Wedding Bells!

Another wedding has come and gone and I was thrilled to be able to make this cake, or should I say cupcakes, for an old high school friend. We were a few years apart in high school, but she performed in all of the school musicals while I was always in the orchestra pit.

Jennifer and her fiance Ethiene were married this afternoon, April 3, 2011. And what a beautiful and warm Sunday afternoon to get married. For those who do not live near by, we have had a strange blast of cold, rainy weather lately, so they lucked out with today's forecast!

Jennifer is my first bride to ask for cupcakes! 125 cupcakes to be exact! I was thrilled to help her out and it wasn't that bad at all to do so. Though the kitchen was a disaster for a few days, in the end the results were stunning.

Her colors were yellow and white which we incorporated into the cupcakes and the top tier of their cake. They wanted Chocolate, Lemon and Vanilla cupcakes with daisy flowers on each cupcake. Her inspiration for their cake came from a Martha Stewart picture, so we broke it down to create something special for just them.

My week started with making a few hundred or so of the small daisy like flowers so each cupcake would be adorned with two and then their cake had a few dozen or so of the white ones. I also prepped about 10lbs of vanilla buttercream and 5 lbs of lemon buttercream to decorate all the cakes!

But overall, I was thrilled to see the end results and was happy to help them out on their very special day.

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Rodriguez!
