My friend Angie contacted me few weeks ago, she wanted to order a cupcake tower for her best friend's wedding. What a lovely friend!!! I was really excited about it as I love working on wedding theme because that means I can do my sugar flowers!!!
As the bride prefer buttercream and the wedding theme is red roses, we decided to work along that line. Less is more, I wanted to keep the design really simple so that the handcrafted sugar red roses will stand out.
3 weeks before the big day, I started on the preparation of sugar rosebud. As sugar paste needs drying time, after shaping the rose buds I let the it dry for 24 hours.
Next, I started rolling out thin layer of sugar paste and build on the petals. I made total of 55 roses (some for spare) and it took me about 3 days to work on the entire process.
Some progress shots taken while assembling the cupcakes.
See the pretty hue of pink strawberry sponge cupcake with Ivory vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream in constrast with handcrafted red sugar rose!!! I feel like taking a bite right now!
Here is my 5 tier Wedding cupcake tower decorated with handcrafted sugar red roses in the wedding venue.
The bride chooses strawberry sponge with vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream for the cupcakes and vanilla sponge with lemon curd Swiss meringue buttercream for the top tier cake.
Some close of shots of the top tier 6" cake.
This is my last cake of 2014.
2014 was a fantastic year for me. I feel so blessed to work on something I really love!!!
Thank you all so much for your friendship, love and support throughout this year!!!
Happy New Year!!!
