so I was set on having cupcakes for my wedding. I was in love with the idea of cherry blossom cupcakes because there are so many wonderful examples on googleThere are very few bakeries around my area that do wedding cakes/cupcakes. We had tried to contact one that is a half hour away, but they were very rude over the phone. When my aunt called and ( Read more... )

Does anyone know where I can get the tiered cupcake stands (that aren't going to cost me $50+)? I need it to hold a top tier for cutting and then about 40 ish cupcakes.

Has anyone else done cupcakes? Show me your pics!!!!

Okay, I'm just a little bit excited (and a lot a bit bored)

So I had my eye on this dress...fell in LOVE with it the moment I saw it but the website I originally found it on didn't list a price.  You know what that means...out of my budget.  I was quite upset.  But I held my chin high knowing the dress was a 2011 design so perhaps by the time I am ( Read more... )

So I'm catering my own wedding. For dessert I'm planning on serving mini cupcakes in two flavors (vanilla orange and strawberry lemonade), brownies on a stick, and spritz cookies. How on earth do you figure out how many to make? The guest list is at 85.

I keep intending to post a progess post on a nice round day like 50 or 45, but then I forget. I was setting this post up in advance so I could post it on the NEXT round day, but then I thought, "wait, that's going incredibly overboard."

So, we're having cheesecake for our wedding cake. But FH has a friend who's allergic to wheat and chocolate, and I have a cousin who's allergic to nuts. Plus, we figured we should have an alternative for people who are not lactose-friendly. I called it the air cake, because after all the stuff you CAN'T put in there, there's nothing left but air ( Read more... )

I was going to do a 200 day post, but 200 days out was my birthday so my best intentions fell victim to scheduling conflicts.

( We've gotten a lot done. )

I was wondering if anyone had seen any neat ways of displaying cupcakes at a wedding besides the traditional round cupcake tower where they're all kind of jammed in there. I would love to have something a) elegantly unique and b) easy for guests to maneuver should we treat our cupcakes like the buffet dinner and have everyone get their own off the ( Read more... )

My wedding is next Saturday, so the final guest count for my cupcake lady is due this Saturday. We're having 110 come and my parents and I are in a huge argument over how may cupcakes to order and how to serve them. The most ridiculous argument ever, I know! My vendor and I settled on 150-160 cupcakes, enough for everyone to get one and some to get ( Read more... )

I am feeling so off kilter today, thanks to getting up at noon and being over four hours late to work. I'm going to try and relax by posting some of the wedding stuff that went on last weekend. Patrick and I went to Aria Bridesmaids in Dupont Circle on Sunday. I had been introduced to Aria by Heidi, as that’s where we (her bridesmaids) ordered ( Read more... )
