Wedding Cake & Cupcakes

One wedding cake and 200 cupcakes for my cousin's wedding.
So glad they made the 100km trip!
I didn't want to take the chance so everything was assembled at the reception venue. This included piping the 200 cupcakes with the butter cream swirl! My hand hurt after only 50 but at the end of the day, got them all done.

4. Chocolate cake with peanut butter buttercream icing

5. Vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream

6. Red velvet

7. Chocolate cake with mint buttercream

8. Vanilla cake with raspberry buttercream

9. Chocolate cake with strawberry buttercream

The two favorites were the chocolate cake with mint buttercream and chocolate cake with peanut butter buttercream (my fav!!)

New Icing! Peanut Butter Buttercream

Now that I'm starting to feel more comfortable with my decorating skills, I'm going to start experimenting with different recipes. My first adventure; Peanut Butter Buttercream. I made my first batch for a potluck at work the other day, and put it on top of chocolate cupcakes. Everyone at work loved them! I LOVED them! Who doesn't love the combination of peanut butter and chocolate :) I will definitely be using this as a filling and icing more often.
