Wedding Favors...Cupcakes!

I remember when I was getting married (only last summer!) and we had the daunting task of deciding on the perfect favor.  One that guests would use, one that guests would like, one that added to the decor, one that was pretty...etc, etc, etc.   Well, I have the perfect wedding favor!  Cupcakes!!!  But of course!! ;)

Cupcakes are the perfect wedding favor because:
-They are sweet, just like love! 
-Everyone loves a cupcake (I mean, come on!)  :)
-The individual cupcake box looks oh so pretty!
-You can personalize the cupcake (flavor of cupcake, frosting, sprinkles/fondant) AND the box (ribbon, stickers, etc.)
-A favor that guests can eat then or save to eat later...perfection!
-They are made and delivered/set up by me = easy for you!


Here's the scoop:

The Traditional:
$4.00/Favor
Includes your choice of cupcake flavor (you can choose up to three flavors) and decoration (sprinkles only), individual cupcake box with a little window to view the fabulous treat, beautiful ribbon in your color choice.  

The Fondant:
$4.50/Favor
Includes your choice of cupcake flavor (you can choose up to three flavors) and fondant cut outs or inedible decorations, individual cupcake box with a little window to view the fabulous treat, beautiful ribbon in your color choice.  

The Monogram:
$5.00/Favor
Includes your choice of cupcake flavor (you can choose up to three flavors) and fondant cut outs, inedible decorations or sprinkles of your choice, individual cupcake box with a little window to view the fabulous treat, beautiful ribbon in your color choice, monogram sticker (initials, new married monogram or a lovely saying).
Custom graphic stickers are available please contact for more details, prices may vary.

Amy and Carlo's Wedding






I had the pleasure of providing the cupcakes for Amy and Carlo's wedding this past weekend.  They are a beautiful couple, both inside and out!!  Make sure to check them out on Amy Carroll's blog!  I'm so glad they had a chance to come down and sneak a cupcake while I was there, seriously, it made my week (I almost never get to see the bride and groom on their wedding day!)!!

They chose Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting topped with a Gold Bow, Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Buttercream Frosting topped with a Chocolate Piece and Vanilla Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache Frosting topped with gorgeous swirls.  

Amy and Carlo got married at the beautiful Amway Grand Plaza Hotel in the gorgeous two story Imperial Ballroom.  Amy Carroll, with the help of Darrin Wassom, took care of the fabulous photography.  Aletha and the Pearls Events team, took care of all of the amazing planning.  Amy purchased her beautiful dress at September's Bride.  Amy's flawless makeup was done by Julie Strating.  I had the pleasure of meeting Gail Vander Laan, she was the florist and the flowers were absolutely perfect!  (Thanks Gail for helping me navigate the basement!)
What an amazing vendor line up!! 

Congratulations Amy and Carlo, I wish you a lifetime of happiness!!

lil' Miss Cupcake's Blog turns one!!


One year ago today I created a blog for lil' Miss Cupcake!  Happy Anniversary to me! :)

Also, lil' Miss Cupcake has a branch-spanking new website!  There are a couple kinks that still need to be worked out and more pictures to be added but for the most part it is finished!  I am so excited to have my new website and logo finished and I would like to give a big THANK YOU to Jen with JK Photography!  Now, each of the cupcakes have their very own picture!  :)

Feel free to check out lil' Miss Cupcake's new home at www.lilmisscupcake.com

I'm sorry I am posting so late (yes, it is 2 a.m.)  but I was afraid that I wouldn't have time tomorrow because I will be preparing for Amy and Carlo's wedding this weekend, so look for pictures next week!
