I was fortunate enough to be able to do the baking for a wedding in August, thanks to Andrew and Kelly! We decided on a variety of cupcakes in 3 flavors, with a top tier cutting cake. For a more traditional look and some consistency between the cupcakes and the cutting cake, I decorated each cupcake as a rose, then used royal icing roses to decorate the cutting cake. It turned out wonderfully! And was so fun to do!
The three cupcake flavors were chocolate, vanilla, and hummingbird. Hummingbird cake is a traditional southern cake with bananas and pineapple - very similar to a banana bread, but much "cake-ier."
