Wedding Cupcakes

So after baking the cupcakes and transferring them to the Heritage House, we set them aside for decoration. Before we could decorate them, we had to assemble the cupcake stands.

Now these stands aren’t just any stands, they are custom made and hold 3x more than average ones at the store. Each stand has 4 layers (the top one held the “toppers”) and are held up by flower vases. Each layer is painted black with 2 types of ribbon around the edge for an elegant effect. The wedding colors are black and white with a touch of red. So the layers are black and white and the touch of red was in the flower vase-red rose petals. The toppers were the Bride and Groom’s first name initials over some red rose petals and mini-pearls mixed in.

Now the decoration was a simple but elegant design (honestly we did this concept “less is more”/ “simple but elegant” design throughout the whole wedding).  It’s white-whipped frosting and the swirl design with little white non-perils. The idea is that it not only looks great but there isn’t too much frosting like I’ve seen on most cupcakes. My theory is: “If the cupcake is good, you don’t need to cover it up with frosting! It stands out on its own!  Now I did the frosting swirl on the cupcakes. I didn’t do the perils until the morning of. But being the photographer as well, I wasn’t able to do it but the Bride’s wonderful Aunt offered and she did an amazing job! Thanks!!

The display:  The two stands on a long table, with the Damask design underneath and red napkins between them with rose petals spread out. To the right of this was the Groom’s cake: A Batman themed cheesecake! He loved it!

The cupcakes were a hit! And we even had little white boxes for guests to take some cupcakes home with!!
