I love to spend time creating in the kitchen. Lately, I've been spending much time creating themed cupcakes that are both attractive and tasty. My favorite frosting right now is Swiss meringue buttercream. I love the smooth texture and the way it takes on so many wonderful additions like peanut butter, white chocolate, dark chocolate, and various liquors.

Groom's Cupcake Tower--Guitar Theme
I planned this cupcake tower for several months before the actual assembly. The cupcakes are dark chocolate filled with Nutella (chocolate hazelnut goodness), brushed with a hazelnut syrup and topped with a brown sugar hazelnut Swiss meringue buttercream. The notes/flats/treble clefs/bass clefs are molded from candy melts and a music mold. I decided against molding sharps due to their uncanny resemblence to the pound/number sign. The guitar picks are personalized with the bride's and groom's first names on one side and the wedding date on the other side. I decorated plain boxes with brown/cream ribbon and a label to mirror the font/words on the guitar picks. All in all, I think the cupcake tower was a success.
