My first wedding

Last month, I posted about making a cake for my Toastmasters' presentation. As you may recall, one my co-workers raffled off the cake to raise money for a walk he was participating in. I was later contacted by someone who had seen a picture of the cake. They were interested in having a wedding cake prepared. I was a little hesitant since I have not practiced some of the cake decorating techniques learned during the Wilton series. After speaking with bride, I discovered that she did not want anything traditional. We discussed several options and settled on a cupcake tree. I loved the idea since I had one at my wedding. No cutting, no mess, no fuss. Besides, who doesn't like cupcakes?

While searching the internet, I found out how to make a cupcake stand. It was quite easy and I am pleased with how it turned out. The couple requested a Strawberry cake for them and yellow and white cupcakes for the guests. I've made yellow and white cake before but not strawberry cake. While doing another internet search I came across a semi homemade strawberry cake recipe from Paula Deen. Come on...if Paula is making it, it has to be good.

Each cupcake was adorned with a fondant rose. The cake had several fondant roses as it's topper. Below are a few pictures.

The wedding was today and I really liked how everything turned out. I can't wait to hear back from the couple.
