200 Cupcakes and a Wedding

Last Friday I made 240 cupcakes, 212 of which were refrigerated and transported to Sarah's beautiful wedding. 

It was a crazy couple of days. I made the raspberry filling and chocolate hearts on thursday, and then Friday 9am to 2am was cupcake time. I made all the cupcakes, which took about 2 hours for every 60 cupcakes. Then the coral colored frosting, then the mocha frosting, then assembly. 

I had just enough cake boxes to transport 212 cupcakes, so at 2am, we transported them halfway to an industrial refrigerator, to keep them as fresh as possible. Finally, Saturday morning we drove them and the tiers my dad made, (which I failed to get a picture of without cupcakes) to the vineyard. I was super excited as Jacob and I set up the tiers and they looked awesome.

Notice the handiwork on the cake tiers.

Then we just enjoyed the rest of the wedding, which, despite the chilly wind, was amazing :)

Wedding prep

So, I'm making the cupcakes for my friend Sarah's wedding on the 14th and last week I did a practice run, on a much smaller scale. I'm going to be making 200 cupcakes for the wedding, so I'm a little worried about how easily it's all going to go, but I'm hoping for the best. I'm going to make chocolate cupcakes with a mocha frosting, and vanilla cupcakes with raspberry filling and coral colored frosting. I'm pretty excited, but nervous because I'm always pretty judgmental about other peoples wedding cakes. Any way, here are some pictures of my practice cupcakes, the chocolate were a lot better than the vanilla, so I'm going to alter the recipe a bit when I make them on Friday.
