The Bride originally decided on butter cupcakes with a vanilla buttercream swirl, silver cachous and fresh purple flowers. She ended up changing her mind and I must say, while the buttercream would have undoubtedly looked elegant and fresh (with me at the helm, how could they not?) I'm grateful for the decision change. With the alternating heat and rain with a side of humidity at this time of year, my nerves would have been on edge, waiting for the buttercream to melt. Don't get me wrong, the heat and rain affect the fondant as well, I'm just a little better at managing the effects on fondant.
The cupcakes are displayed on a disposable cupcake tower, just the thing for smaller occasions. They are (relatively) cheap, reusable at a pinch and completely eliminate the (mildly) annoying task of getting a hired perspex stand back to the cake shop as the late fees are not to be sneezed at.
And so starts my 2012 caking.......

The cakes were beautiful both in appearance and taste. They were a hit with all of our guests and even colour coordinated with my bridesmaids' dresses! Thank you for making such amazing cupcakes Courtney! Yvonne Holland (The Bride) xo
