We're going to a wedding! Our cousin is getting married in San Diego next weekend, and we're looking forward to attending the reception and partying with ALL the cousins we rarely get to see! And we are honored to be able to supply the wedding cake(s).... Heather is going to have a cupcake tree!
She has left the details up to us (daring girl) and we want to make the best cupcakes ever, without going too far outside the box. So for the past few weeks, I've been testing recipes. Some have been really good, like the Orange Dream Cake recipe I found. While the Chocolate Mint Brownie cupcakes were delicious with the Peppermint Patties in the middle, they were just too heavy for a full size cupcake. But boy, were those li'l bite size ones a hit around the house! And then there were the Chocolate cupcakes with Cream Cheese frosting..... yowza. Best frosting ever, but probably not a great choice for transporting 5 hours away. Darn. I think we'll have to eat these ourselves. Thankfully, we have willing 'testers.' Jessica was quite cooperative as I snapped these pictures of her enjoying her treat. In fact, when I missed the first few pix, she happily agreed to take a second mini treat! You know, you must have a quality control designee, and I think we've found one!
Countdown to Wedding Day, Heather! See you soon ~
Thank you. The Cupcake Wedding Cake was beautiful and yummy. Thank you all for all your taste-testing!, preparing, and traveling the long distance to Heather and Cory's Wedding. Sorry you had to smell the cupcakes all the way down to Fallbrook, CA. The cupcakes were delicious and admired by all who attended.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much,
Linda, Mother-of-the Bride
We all had such a great time! What an honor to be part of Heather and Cory's big day! Once the cupcakes were up, it was time for us to get down! The decorations were beautiful, the food was wonderful, the wine was perfect, and the time we spent catching up with family was, as always, way too short. Let's get together again soon. xoxo
