Wedding Cupcakes!

Here are some lovely shots of my September wedding cupcakes from our photographer Zoe Collyer (zoecollyer.co.uk). Thank you Zoe!

Finally!!! A little update on where I've been...

I must apologize for the tardiness of this post! Things have been a little bit busy, and we only made it home yesterday. The cakes were a success in England :) Thankfully! And they looked really lovely on the day.

The little photos above were taken by the very talented Zoe Collyer, and there are more to be found on her blog: http://www.zoecollyer.co.uk/index.php/home/comments/ben_and_meag_cheers_to_love

Along with some non-cake related photos.

My goal is to get the recipes of these cakes up tonight on the recipe section of the blog.

Thanks again to Zoe and to all of our guests on 25th September for making the day so memorable. You were a pleasure to bake for :)

the day is almost here!

we leave on friday for our international wedding extravaganza! last weekend i had my final test bake, of the hummingbird cupcakes, and they turned out great! i decorated some of them with pineapple flowers, and the others with sugar pearls. the pineapple flowers were really pretty, but ben pointed out that they are difficult to bite through which is a fair point as we'll be standing in a pub without forks and knives. more importantly, i think i am well prepared for everything that i may face by baking in a new unfamiliar kitchen, but the proof will be in the frosting! i will be posting the recipes on here after we return. wish me luck! xo

finally! i have been wanting to make hummingbird cupcakes for ages but something always came up! hummingbird cupcakes, based on hummingbird cake, are a unique flavor made up of banana, pineapple, cinnamon and pecans topped off with cream cheese frosting. yum! i think of them as an alternative for carrot cake. very dense and moist, and naturally a vehicle for cream cheese frosting :) these are a serious contender for september due to their uniqueness and deliciousness! xo
