Wedding Cupcakes

Over Canadian Thanksgiving Weekend my younger brother got married!  It was a beautiful day and they were all smiles.  I was so excited, and overwhelmed when they asked me to do the dessert bar.  For the reception I did mini-cupcakes, cookies galor and squares.  Sooo Yummmy!

Over the summer I had Cory and his dad help me make a three teared cupcake stand. But let's face it - I told them what I wanted and the measurements... and voila! It was done for me.  I love it!  It worked fantastic!  THANK YOU to the both of you.  We laced this thing with 168 little cupcakes (thanks to those who helped set it up)!  It was a picture and I believe it is one of the best ways to show off those little delicate goodies.

Thank you to Dennis and Chelsea for letting me experiment with my cupcake display.

I've spent a lot of time this past summer getting organized.  I also had an unmentionable amount of help from my family and friends  - you know who you are! 

One such occasion was a little "photo shoot" we had in my home.  It involved dressing up my nieces and nephews and taking pictures of them eating up my cookies and cupcakes.  They had so much fun!  It was neat to see them interact with the camera and to find out how they just shined.  I am forever grateful to my sisters-in-law for bringing their children, dressing them up and then letting me fill them full of sugar!  My, oh my, they were wired after leaving my house!

So... I would like to introduce you to one of my favorite pictures and my niece, Peyton.  She is 5 years old,  full of life and her smile and giggles light up any  room.  She was at the center of our little photo shoot; she's the oldest, you see.   The picture placed as my header says it all!  Notice that smile.  Can you tell her favorite color is pink? 

Special thanks to my friend JOCELYN for taking the time to come and take the photos for me.  She was able to capture exactly what I was looking for.  I will introduce the others at a future date.  Trust me you will love them all!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
