This is by far the biggest project I have taken on! Two-hundred cupcakes and a cake for a friends wedding. I was more than thrilled to accept the offer a while ago from a friend I have known all my life to make her wedding cake. I prepared for weeks to make these and I think they turned out awesome!
I took two whole days off work to bake and decorate all the cupcakes. I made One-hundred vanilla cupcakes and one-hundred chocolate. I made two-hundred gumpaste flowers, dusted them with pearl dust and finished them with pearl beads in the center. I got the petunia shape cutter and mould from Flour Confections. I have come to love that website, they have quick shipping and they are awesome people to work with. The icing is a traditional buttercream which I made myself.
I would do another project like this again. Although at times it is stressful, I think the fun factor of it all outweighs anything negative about the experience. I didn't get a very good picture of the cake, which sucks, because it actually looked awesome and I surprised myself even. I also missed out on the cake cutting, but I am really hoping someone else was able to snap a picture, I'm sure their photographer did anyways. Here is everything put together:
Kaits :)
