Wedding Cupcakes, Part 1

Well, let the adventure begin. I volunteered to make wedding cupcakes and a small cake to slice for a happy couple who are getting married in Mexico. Their reception will be next Friday, the 19th. The bride wanted cupcakes iced in shades of light blues and greens. The groom is requested a few topped in crushed graham crackers (for a beachy feel). I'm also adding in white chocolate seashell toppers (thank goodness for chocolate molds). The bride and groom's slicing cake will be a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. I've already tested out the top layer cake, with much success. My co-workers tested it out for me. Tough job, I'm sure, but they all seemed happy enough to do it. I completely forgot to add pics of it but I'll be sure to get a bunch the day of the reception. Next on the list is testing out how to successfully freeze cupcakes. So I made batch tonight as a dry run. They're going into the freezer tonight and will come out Sunday night to be run past the co-worker testers on Monday. Wish me luck!
