The Wedding Party

A few weeks ago, I baked a cake along with two dozen cupcakes for a work party celebrating the impending nuptials of a company VP.

No pressure there.

After showing sketches and offering ideas to those involved in the planning, it was settled that I'd bake and decorate a 2-layer Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting as well as 1 dozen Chocolate Cupcakes and 1 dozen Lemony-Vanilla Cupcakes, both with Swiss Meringue Buttercream.

It was an intense undertaking, comprising of a few pounds of butter and flour, nearly a pound of sugar, a dozen eggs, 24 handmade tissue paper flowers, and 3 fresh-blooming lilies.

Here are the exhausting, yet incredibly satisfying (and overwhelmingly well-received), results...

I have no groom, and I'm not even close to getting married, but I already know who will make my wedding cake. Think about a way to incorporate cinnamon rolls into a cake . . .

It's a murderous job creating a wedding cake, but so worth it in the end!
