Mai & Lee's 10.10.10 Wedding

Tiny flavor explosions were on the menu for this fall wedding. Two hundred mini cupcakes, in three delicious flavors (Banana, Pumpkin & Green tea) each topped off with a rich cream cheese icing.

I began with the Green Tea cupcakes since they were new to me. I'm not a matcha pro, but I do believe the taste was a success.


The decor however,was not. Apparently mini white cupcake liners are not all created equal. And so the end result of batch one included a nice indent on 90% of the cupcakes which is not wedding worthy, not by my standards anyhow. And so off to the store we went in search of even smaller white liners. Three stores later, we discovered that it wasn't the easy task it made itself out to be and so we went with colored liners instead that would match the wedding decor. Luckily that was a much easier task and we ended up with 100 light blue and 100 light green liners....phew

Then it was time to start over and this batch came out wedding worthy....



And so things moved forward with ease and it was onto making pumpkin cupcakes......


 mmmmm pumpkin goodness....



Last but not least were the banana cupcakes, my personal favorite....



Let's not forget to include my wonderful self taken shots of the cream cheese icing making it's way onto these yummy mini cakes....


 And there you have it, after a half day of work, all the mini's were lined up and ready to go...



Their destination was Lago's Bar & Grill at Dow's Lake Pavilion. It was a gorgeous venue! I wish I had thought to take pictures of their beautiful set up and great view. I would highly recommend checking them out if you're in the midst of wedding planning.

The bride and groom had made their own stand for the wedding, which was waiting for me upstairs when I got there. After playing around with the arrangement for a while, this is what my mini's looked like before my departure.




Congratulations to Mai & Lee!
