What do you think...first cupcake test!

Peggy, on October 7, 2018 at 14:29 Posted in Wedding reception 0 18
Over the Thanksgiving weekend my sister and I did a first test run of sugar work for the cupcakes for my wedding. We're trying to different versions of coral to go with the beachy tropical theme. What do you think?

    I need to figure out how to do this!!! I want to make coral cupcakes For one of my daughters birthdays now ! You got them to look perfect! And at least now you can make them ahead of time and then can have a chance to redo them if they don’t turn out the way you wanted.

    I'm happier with the coral on these too! I also learned I can make the coral up to a week in advance and it won't get sticky so that's good! One less thing to do the day before!

    Thanks! I think it's that the icing is more white with hints of blue, so that helps. And there will be more icing (so you can't see any of the cupcake!) along with the seashell wrapper. Smiley smile

    Okay, first of all, those look AMAZING! Second of all, I really like these ones better! Something about the frosting and whatnot that really makes it seem more ocean-y and tropical Smiley smile

    They look really great! I am also planning on making my own cupcakes, trying to save some money, so this gives me a confidence boost! When are you planning on making them before the wedding?

    Thanks all! Yes, we're going to be adjusting the amount of blue - I really only want mostly white with just a touch of blue to the icing. Hopefully that will keep people's mouths from turning blue!

    The sugar work was remarkably easy to make - I have a few more tests to run of it, but I think it's going to be great.

    I'll be ordering chocolate seashells and candy pearls to add as well.

    Nice work on the sugar designs and look great for the theme. Love the icing colour of the sea.

    Yeah. That's the plan. My little niece helped with the icing. Today was mostly about testing the sugar work

    Super cute! That's great! I really like the blue/green sugar decorations, kind of looks like kelp or coral floating in the ocean. Great job!

    My only suggestion would be: the icing that is piped in a swirl, perhaps get a larger icing tip... so it will look fuller without having gaps, or using more icing.
