Wedding Shower Cupcake Tower--Sophisticated Theme

This cupcake tower predates the groom's tower.  Again, I took several months to plan and puchase all materials.  The cupcakes are white cake filled with raspberry jam and brushed with almond sugar syrup.  They are frosted with an almond scented Swiss meringue buttercream.  The roses and hearts that adorn both the cupcakes and the top cake are made from candy clay (made from candy melts and corn syrup).  Making the roses involved a learning curve, but once I got the hang of it, I could make one within a few minutes.  I created around 100 roses in all.  The ribbons, gems, and damask matched the wedding invitations.  This tower was a success.
