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.

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.
