Friday I had a lovely meeting with Eric's cousin Jenni and his aunt. His cousin recently got married, and we attended the wedding. Everything about it was perfect, including the weather. Jenni is a very creative person, and I think she did most of the preparations, from invites to decorations to choreographing the best bridal party intro I've ever seen (it involved football passes). She is also a very talented baker. Every time we go to a family event at their house there have been the most elaborate and adorable cupcakes, brownies, cookies, and other delicacies. For Christmas she made cupcakes that looked like Christmas trees, with candy coated sunflower seeds as the ornaments. Once there were cupcakes in the shape of butterflies. We decided early on that we wanted her to do our wedding cake if she was willing. She was! So I met to talk about colors, flavors, and all that good stuff.
As our colors are navy and coral, we decided to go with white cupcakes. Navy frosting is just gross, and everyone would be walking around looking like they'd just sucked on a ballpoint pen. I saw a cool idea online for a cupcake bouquet.
We decided to do that as a topper, with freestanding cupcakes for the guests to eat. Each cupcake will have a fondant garnish, and I'm thinking of using the deco fan motif - the one I never ended up using for the invites - for the garnish!
As for cupcake flavors, for now it's vanilla and chocolate, but if anyone knows of some more interesting options, I'd be interested to hear.
