4th of July

Happy 4th of July!  My husband and I went to a bbq/pool party with friends and I volunteered to bring the cupcakes.  I made chocolate cupcakes and "yellow" cupcakes with butter cream frosting. I know, I know. I went with the box mixes because they are easy.  The frosting was from scratch of course.  I put the extra time towards making the cutest cupcake flags, instead. They are courtesy of Ellinee.

Wedding Bells and Flower Cupcakes...

Well I successfully made it through my first ever wedding and wow was it crazy.  A total of 120 cupcakes and 1 "small" carrot cake for the bride and groom Megan and Jesse.  Half chocolate cupcakes and half yellow buttermilk with buttercream frosting.  i am literally sore today from what i assume is a combination of decorating 120 cupcakes as flowers and shredding 1 lb of carrots.  Really, i stapled something at work this morning and wanted to cry...i might have even yelped a little.  On that note, i shredded them by hand because i FORGOT that i have a very lovely KitchenAid Food Processor that would have done the trick in a matter of seconds.  Who forgets that? I guess since it's not on the counter i don't think about it. Speaking of KitchenAid appliances, what did people do before the KitchenAid stand up mixer? Really.  Anyway, I'm pretty exhausted so here are the photos.  There aren't many because Saturday was a mad dash to get everything done in time and get to the wedding not covered in sugar and food coloring.  

Flowers!







There they are in all their glory.
Congratulations Megan and Jesse! I am so glad I was able to be a part of your day!
