New Year's Eve Wedding

Ok, ok, so it's been way too long since we've updated the blog. It's been a busy winter, so far, with Joanne going back to school full-time to finish off her degree at Dalhousie.

It doesn't mean we haven't been making cakes, though! We had an exciting order for New Year's Eve: a wedding!

They wanted 10 dozen cupcakes (yup, that's 120 cupcakes) with a small cake on top with a topper. The wedding was hosted at a local hotel, in downtown Halifax.

The cupcakes were: a few dozen red velvet with vanilla cream cheese icing, a few dozen white chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream and a few dozen chocolate cupcakes also with minty buttercream.

The topper cake was a chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling and vanilla buttercream. Yum! They provided us with the cute little couple cake topper, too.

This is the cake:

The whole tower with the cupcakes looked like this:

Some cupcakes were topped with flowers that had pearl centres, others had just two differently-sized pearls on them and finally some had some tiny little snow-like non-pareils sprinkled on. As you can see, the colours were white and red.

The cupcake tower itself is ours and with an order, we will rent it for $25. It's modular and can have up to 7 levels!

Congratulations to the happy couple and happy New Year to everyone!
