Weddings, weddings... Part 2

Wow, I've really fallen behind in blogging - between trying to eek out the last few weeks of pregnancy and buying/moving into our first house, there hasn't been much time to post. But I will quickly attempt to at least post a couple of pictures of some fun wedding cupcakes for a fun couple, Jared and Stephanie Manes!

Stephanie and Jared opted for light blue swirl cupcakes with purple/orchid candy hearts. I was excited about the project and happy to be a part of the celebration, and I knew it was going to be a lot of good old fashioned work. The first step: bulk up on icing and start filling those candy heart molds!

Multiply this sheet by 26. and that you are getting the idea.

This is my friend Kasey - she helped make the 6-7 batches of icing for the cupcakes. I think it ended up being about 30 lbs of icing, whoo!!

**NOTE: I began this blog entry several months earlier, and it is now December. So, I'm just going to fast forward to the end product:

Display Table - construction by the lovely bride herself!

Congrats, Jared and Stephanie! :)
