Mom came down to help me since it was my order of this size, unfortunately I couldn't take any time off from my day job, I'm an Activity Director and Recreational Therapist. So while I was at work, she baked some the cupcakes for me. When I got home, I spent hours on my feet in the kitchen baking and mixing up Buttercream. Everything was going smoothly...really smoothly. I just kept thinking at some point the other hat would drop. Thankfully it didn't.
I got busy Saturday morning beginning to decorate the cake with fondant. By the way, I used homemade fondant, which is great some days, and not so great others. In the heat and humidity of Wilmington, I'm not sure if I like it. Here's the recipe if you want to try it out sometime.
1 lb mini marshmallows
3 tbsp water
1lb of powdered sugar
Crisco
You'll want to Crisco the counter so the marshmallow won't stick to the counter. Heat the water and marshmallows in the microwave until pretty much melted, add about 1/3 of the sugar while in the bowl and then pour onto the counter mix in the rest of the sugar in little parts until the mixture can be rolled into a ball. Once firm, wrap in saran wrap and stick let set overnight.
Day of the wedding, surprisingly things went ahead of schedule and we were even able to rest for a bit before delivery. Delivery for this was a piece of cake (yeah I did just say it) The cupcakes were in boxes of 12 and then a small box was used for the topper cake. The cake stand was gorgeous too! (Props to the Bride)

I think I'm hooked on weddings, we'll see next time when it can't go as smooth as this one did. Until next time Happy Baking!
