Cupcakes Cupcakes Cupcakes - Horray!




I am starting to get really excited about all the cupcake orders coming up - this is a picture of a simple cupcake "cake" for a bridal shower. Had to experiment with my regular cake stand to accommodate the cupcakes instead and hold the shape of tiers. I found these beautiful ice cream sundae dishes to place between the tiers. I think it turned out great! For the weddings coming up this summer, the stands will be larger to accommodate the large amount of cupcakes required, but this one was perfect for 25. I will also experiment with the bases. Instead of using plain white boards, I will use glass or cover the boards to match wedding colours. It would be cool to find a way to light candles in the tier separators somehow. I am going to start building my own stands I think...
And...the cupcakes were absolutely delicious! I altered the Lemon Cake recipe slightly and - oh me, oh my! - what an absolute YUMMY taste paired with the vanilla buttercream. This was a perfect combination for a bridal shower!

Cupcake Details:

  • Lemon cupcakes - new recipe - delish!
  • Vanilla Buttercream - swirled - delish!
  • Topped off with lemon sugar granules - delish!
