This past Saturday our friends Diane and Aaron were married.  I was able to not only enjoy the ceremony and reception as a guest, but also baked the dessert – cupcakes!   They requested four flavors, Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Cream Cheese Frosting, Cherry Almond Cupcakes with Almond Swiss Meringue Buttercream, Chocolate Mint Cupcakes with Peppermint Swiss Meringue Buttercream, and Vanilla Buttermilk Cupcakes with Dark Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting.  

Earlier in the week I made the chocolate candies on top of each one – monogram A and D’s, and hearts.  I used our church’s kitchen on Thursday, since there are four ovens in there, and baked the 300+ cupcakes that afternoon and evening.  Frosted them on Friday afternoon, then delivered them (with the help of another friend, Lori, and her minivan) to the hotel on Saturday morning.  

Everything went quite smoothly, and the cupcakes seemed to go over quite well.  When we headed home from the dinner there were only about five left.
