a tale of two bicycles: the summer of the cupcake (and a few weddings too)

the summer of the cupcake (and a few weddings too)

So this summer we saw G's sister get married, and two sets of good friends get hitched as well. E & A traded vows in August, and K and R did so in September. For that September celebration, I volunteered to make the cake - or rather, the cupcakes. There were just shy of a hundred guests... so logically I made about 157 cupcakes. Good thing, since they all disappeared, to a crumb. Here are some photos from our Summer of the Cupcake...

E and A's wedding:

G and F passed out after a delightful dinner with some new friends...

Fi being cute.

And she started to always do a safety grab...

Cupcakes begin. Here are the fixings for the carrot cake cupcakes...

And this is not even all the sugar I used...

Chocolate, mid-making... three different kinds of chocolate in these bad boys...

And the vanilla, so innocent...

Fi on Orcas Island...

Kicking her toes in the grass...

Reaching for the camera...

Mmmmm.....

Murder of crows in the tree outside our room...

Cupcake frosting assembly line...

Couldn't have done it without these awesome assistants.

We went through 28 cups of frosting. Boy howdy! And when we were all done, cupcakes stored safely in the walk-in, we found this lone cupcake... suicide for one so young is just plain sad...
