Amy and Steve's New Years Eve Wedding

I was so excited when my friend Amy asked me if I would make the cupcakes for her wedding! Of course I said yes and that it would be an honor! The wedding was this past weekend at Romanellos South in Hamburg (just outside of Buffalo) New York. Her wedding colors were deep purple and lime green and she was having about 135 guests.

We decided to go with 150 cupcakes and a traditional cake topper for the bride and groom to cut into. The flavors chosen were Chocolate Candy Cane, a chocolate cupcake topped with a peppermint candy cane buttercream, Chocolate Truffle, a chocolate cupcake filled with a rich chocolate truffle and topped with a white chocolate buttercream, Lemon Snow Ball, a fresh lemon zest cupcake topped with a coconut buttercream and Vanilla Cookies & Cream, a vanilla cupcake filled with cookies & cream topped with a vanilla buttercream. Vanilla Cookies & Cream was also the cake topper.

Individual fondant flowers were placed on each cupcake.

Amy also had a candy bar for guests. I helped out by making the custom food labels to match the rest of the wedding decor for each of the candy jars. The candy bar was such a huge hit with the guests - who doesn't love candy?
