My neighbor and friend needed a wedding cake, and although I had never made one before, I volunteered to help her out. She decided on a cupcake wedding cake and I got to work!
Here is the topper I made
We chose 3 flavors: (Orange) Lemon with key lime buttercream (Pink) Strawberry with fresh strawberries and cream buttercream (White) Dark chocolate with vanilla bean buttercream
Justin and I designed the stand. It held about 100 cupcakes. Overall, I made 200+, as well as the 6" square. I ran out of time and had to frost the top cake in 3 minutes flat! I wish I would've had more time to do A LOT better detail work.
Friday afternoon (the day of the wedding) I had made over 50 chocolate cupcakes and both 6" squares before I decided to taste one. Once I did, I realized that I had been on autopilot for so long that I failed to measure the baking soda correctly. All in the garbage they went! I had 2 hours to bake 75 more cupcakes and two 6" squares (the recipe I used said NOT to double the recipe, so I had to make 6 dozen SEPERATE batches). I sent Justin to SLC to the ONLY place that sold black cupcake liners, and rolled up my sleeves. What a week!!! Overall, it got done and the bride and groom were VERY happy with it... that's all that matters.
Keaton looks THRILLED to be strapped in the stroller!!! :)
I'm SO grateful I don't live during this time period!!!
It's CRAZY how LARGE some of these things are!!!
Estin LOVED the water and sand table!
He looks pretty calm, wonder if he knows what's behind him! :)
It's crazy to think that one day we'll all live together in peace
What a FUN way to finish off Dinosaur week!!

The boys and I (while Justin was at school), had a day out at Wheeler Farms to celebrate the big day!
I couldn't resist this picture! True love!
Our neighbor Patty (who's in LOVE with Eli) brought over presents!
We ended the day with ice cream at Maceys
