Wedding Cupcakes

Maggie and Aaron will be getting married November 8, and I spent today experimenting with different cupcake design options. They have decided on serving 4 different flavors of cupcakes, so we would like to distinguish the different flavors with different decorations. I love the look of white on white, so I used my vanilla buttercream frosting in combination with a granulated sugar to introduce texture. I also played with the idea of using colored frostings, which I typically do not like, but the I surprising like the look of these cupcakes. Lastly, Maggie wanted to explore the option of personalizing their cupcakes with their initials. I was happy with the results... we'll see how the bride feels.

Wedding Bells Are Ringing

It's that time of year. Brides and grooms from across the country are planning their weddings in Southwest Florida. I agree with them, this is one of the most beautiful and romantic places to get married. But the Tommy Bahama shirts and rhinestone flip flops are not the only creative twists these stylish couples will be sporting on their wedding day. They are choosing Flour Designer Cupcakes to add the special unique touch to complete their dream wedding.

When Kelly McWilliams, owner of Weddings By Socialites (http://www.weddingsbysocialites.com/), contacted me about arranging a tasting for one of her clients, I was elated. I have been preparing all weekend for 5 cupcake tasting... the trend has finally arrived to Southwest Florida and I'm embracing it!
