cupcake wedding cake
My eldest daughter got married this weekend, and I made her wedding cake. She wanted white chocolate mudcake cupcakes, and dark chocolate mudcake cupcakes. Ok, I thought, I can do that. Then she spotted my silicon heart shaped and star shaped cake moulds, and wanted to know if I could make the cakes in these shapes. Yeah, sure, that's easy. I did a test batch, and found the white chocolate recipe worked well as cupcakes, and then started baking and freezing in batches, in the lead up to the wedding. I found the white chocolate cakes were still soft but a lot denser once defrosted, but the dark chocolate ones were fine. I needed 6 dozen of each, and my new Kitchen aid certainly proved it's worth *g* The one really curly request she gave me was she wanted the cakes topped with purple ganache.
Now, don't get me wrong, I love the colour purple, and her wedding theme was purple, white, and silver, but I just never expected that I would be making purple tinted ganache to ice a wedding cake. To keep in with the theme I found some white icing butterflies, and silver cachous (edible ) to top off each one. They plated up beautifully
