Hello, all! I've been seriously neglecting this blog lately, no bueno!
To make up for it I'm posting a series of far too many posts all at once-yay!
So a while back, I worked on a cake/cupcake combination for an old friend of mines' wedding. Michelle and Brandon we're married at this beautiful little boat house, with everything covered in green and purple (their favorite colors). I had done a tasting a few months ago with many different flavored cupcakes and Michelle wanted them all!
We had researched some cupcake towers online and I had found a small company that sells through Ebay, where they supply many different styles and sizes for a very reasonable price. Michelle went and ordered two of them to hold the 130 cupcakes, and only spent around $30.00--which was pa-retty awesome if you ask me.
Cupcakes:
Red velvet cake with cream cheese icing, cake crumble garnish
Carrot cake filled with apricot preserves and topped with cream cheese icing, fried carrot garnish
Chocolate buttermilk cake with chocolate butter cream, chocolate curl garnish
Lemon poppy seed cake with blueberry butter cream, candied lemon zest garnish
Banana walnut cake with milk chocolate ganache, fried banana chip garnish
The cake was a two tier square buttermilk marble cake. The bottom tier had a milk chocolate ganache filling (Michelle's choice), and the top tier had a strawberry compote filling (Brandon's choice). The whole cake was iced in a vanilla bean butter cream and decorated with marshmallow fondant vines, green ribbon and small purple flowers.
Michelle also threw in a small grooms cake in to the equation. The story behind it is a simple one: after a long day at work, Brandon enjoys several hours of XBOX time. When the system is turned off for the night, Brandon always leaves his remote in the exact same place: the corner of their bed. Michelle thought it would be funny to recreate their bedspread, and place an XBOX remote on top. Their bedspread was a simple white background with tiny lines of different colors, and I made a completely edible remote out of rice krispie and marshmallow fondant to place on top. The cake was Brandon's favorite-red velvet with vanilla butter cream.
Congrats Michelle and Brandon!!!
Till next time!
