Oh how I love weddings! And I love creating wedding cakes and cupcakes! That is why I was thrilled when Rebecca and Murray asked me to make their wedding cupcakes and cake! Something you should know about the bride and groom is that they are HUGE Rider fans! I don't think I've ever met bigger fans that these guys! It was to no surprise that their wedding had a Ride Pride glow to it. They decided that the bride would get to choose the design and flavour of half the cupcakes and the groom the other half. Together they decided that they wanted a cake for them and their bridal party to share.
Of course, being the Rider fans that they are, the groom chose chocolate cupcakes decorated with green grass and a chocolate almond football! The bride chose to go with a vanilla cupcake frosted with a swirl and embellished with a flower. The colours came together nicely when they were all set up.
If you're a perfectionist like I am, you've probably already noticed that some of the liners are solid black and others are polka dotted. Believe me, I cringe at the fact that the liners didn't all match, but that is something I've just got to deal with living in a city with very limited choices when it comes to baking and cake decorating. I do all my Wedding Cake shopping either in trips to Calgary or online. I got the black cupcake liners online and as I was putting the last batch in, what do you know, I run out of black liners! The supplier shorted me TWELVE liners. I had to run to Bulk Barn, no black liners. Called Michaels, no black liners. Called Gale's, no black liners!! Can you believe that not a single place in this city carries a solid black cupcake liner - what the heck! Polka dots was my closest bet. I'm such a perfectionist that I debated baking everything over again just so the liners would match -- ain't nobody got time for that!
The cake was Red Velvet iced with buttercream in a scalloped design. The cake topper matched perfectly with the theme as she is wearing a Rider jersey. I told you - big fans! It was so special that they asked me to create the cupcakes and cake for their special day! I had so much fun baking and decorating!
Congratulations Rebecca and Murray! I wish you a lifetime of happiness and Rider Pride together!
