This last Saturday I had the pleasure of co-hosting a bridal shower for my dear friend Malia. We sent out about 50 invitations total, but sadly only 20 or so guests were able to come. Pat Pace and I were able to decorate the local Relief Society room to house that guest list... now we realize that we didn't really need the space :)
To feed the guests I decided to make "gourmet" cupcakes. I tried first to make cupcakes for Tina Croft's baby shower and work, and sadly, they did not live up to my expectations! So I researched a little online and found some great youtube videos that explained everything! I invested in a Wilton decorating kit that came with the perfect frosting tip. The Wilton 1M tip is great with cupcakes. I tried a few styles out and decided on the top rosette style.
This is a shot of the food table with my beautiful cupcakes and delicious cucumber sandwiches and 7-layer salad made by Pat.
Here is a close up of my gourmet cupcakes. They turned out so beautifully! I was really proud of myself and my cupcakes. I made and frosted 72 of these bad boys!
Pat invested in some table decorations that turned out great.
This is the first table our guests saw when they walked in. We had a guest book for our giant guest list and we asked our guests to sign and record the gift they gave Malia... I also made a giant cupcake cake to give away as a prize for our bridal trivia game.
Here is a close-up of the giant cupcake cake. It was a lot of fun to frost this one as well. If you can't tell, Malia's wedding colors are purple and teal. I know the cake looks like a Jazz cake but it was supposed to look like Malia and Goose's wedding colors :)
I am glad I could have done this with Pat for such a great friend! I know our decorations are a little reception-like, but it turned out great in the end. Here is to Malia and Goose!
