Kirk & Yani's 11.11.11

After a full week of hard labor, I can finally say that it was worth it! =) Yes, Kirk & Yani finally tied knots last Friday.

Last week was a helluva ride. From purchasing last minute items to baking and frosting and boxing 100 cupcakes! Whew!  It was my first mass-produced cupcake order, a big leap from the usual 2-dozen boxes. And it was all a one-woman effort, I tell you. But a little help was contributed by my active 6-year old and a motivation from hubby. Thanks. Do I hear sarcasm?hehe.

I did chocolates cupcakes in violet buttercream frosting. We originally planned to have topper on each cuppies but since they are also using it as their giveaways, the individual box is not high enough. So I ended using the topper as a tag instead, over a violet organza ribbon.

So here it is, I am sharing to you the photos. My client texted me the day after the wedding that the cupcakes look elegant and tasted great(wink!).

Project: Kirk & Yani's Wedding

I got a project for Kirk and Yani's wedding on November 11. Yep, it's 11-11-11. Cool. =)

A former officemate requested for me to do the cupcakes for her son's big day. I agreed and gave her some ideas. She decided to make it their giveaways, so it will be individually boxed with customized wrappers, ribbons and tags. And then she later decided to have 100 pieces. Yes I know, this is a one-man project, so help me God. =)

The wrappers will be more tedious as these are hand cut, so I figure to do these first. I immediately made a few wraps after I made the drafts, and here it is.

Yes, the wedding has violet-silver theme with the swirls. =)

And here are the drafts I made for the tags and the thanks you cards.

The mother of the groom, my client, was happy to see these, and that is really important.
What do you think? =)
