Wedding Cupcakes @ Independence Harbor, Assonet, Massachusetts

Wedding cupcakes are little cakes meant to be eaten, this is not to be said that cake is not to be eaten, but for some reason cupcakes scream, "Eat Me!" which is why I really prefer them for any wedding!

These little cakes inluded toppers of hand made sugarpaste calla lillies colored individually in fall tones: cranberry, orange burst, and ivory.



Flavors included: lemon cake with vanilla buttercream, chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream and vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream. We included three distinct toppers to indicate to guests the different flavors. One the cake table we included a card this reads...."Vanilla butter cupcakes with chocolate ganache buttercream, white calla lilly" and so on.

Gerbera Daisy & Chocolate Wedding Cake @ Independence Harbor, Assonet Massachuetts

One of my favorite venues is the flawless and perfectly kept gardens of Independence Harbor in Assonet Massachusetts. This particular wedding, held on a blustery afternoon in October included gorgeous fresh gerbera daisy blossoms by Nancy and her talented staff at A Wareham Florist. Bright yellows, fushias, oranges and reds were showstopping on this white buttercream cake with tiny hand piped five petal daisy accents. The dark chocolate colored band at the base of each tier is completely edible and hand rolled from dark chocolate sugarpaste and then polished to a satin finish. Piped over the chocolate band is a small base of ivory pearls.



The chilly day was foiled by a fresh fruit cake: vanilla butter cake soaked in vanilla bean syrup with fresh strawberries and buttercream filling.
