Emily and Bart

Emily and Bart are young at heart and had a wedding to match - candy filled carafes as centerpieces, a popcorn machine, and engagement photos at Toronto's Centre Island. Their wedding cake needed to match their fun-seeking personalities. The answer was a cupcake wedding cake. To make it their own, Bart and Emily requested that the cupcakes be capped with a 6" tier for cutting that featured a unique wedding cake topper: sugar cookies decorated to look like his and her wedding rings (sanding sugar was used to make the diamond really sparkle).

Bart and Emily didn't request just any old cupcakes however. They wanted cupcakes with umph, something with strong flavour impact and dramatic decorations. The colour palette of chocolate, ivory, and pink tied it all together but each cupcake was a stand alone piece of art. See the additional pictures below for descriptions of the three types of cupcakes that make up this elaborate cupcake wedding cake.

A lemon cupcake with raspberry pie centres and iced in pink lemonade buttercream. These cakes were adorned with large and small gumpaste blossoms and sugar pearls.

No such thing as plain vanilla, these triple vanilla cupcakes are filled with a burst of coffee buttercream and iced with Madagascar vanilla buttercream. These cakes are sparkling with sugar pearls.
