Andrade 60th Wedding Anniversary (Reyes/Agnes)

My mother in law enlisted me to help her with her parents 60th wedding anniversary. After discussion over theme, colors, etc... I decided instead of a cake, I would do cupcakes and just "Tamify" them. I found the gold sugar sprinkles at a local baking supply store that I frequent called Sweet Mercantile. I found the cupcake wrappers HERE and I bought the cupcakes at Sam's Club. Here is how they turned out:

**Note; the cupcake wrappers are reversible so I put the polka-dots on the chocolate ones and the "Happy Anniversary" on the white.

When a "theme" was being discussed, I threw out the idea of family photos on the tables. This is what my Sister In Law came up with and my Step Daughter did the money tree. They both did a great job in making the idea much better then I could or would have done. Thanks Amber and Jackie!!!

Here are the invitations I made:

Andrade Wedding (Victor/Delores)

I was asked to do some last minute wedding invitations for a family member. This is how they turned out. I had some trouble with our printer so they are not perfectly centered but they worked and the bride and groom loved them! I also wanted to try making these brownie balls. I had some trouble covering them with the white chocolate because the brownie kept wanting to fall off the stick. There were some last minute issues so I never made it to the wedding/reception so I took the brownies to work and tested them. Everyone said they were great. I may try them again at a later date.

Wedding Favors

After the theme was decided, I knew exactly what I wanted for my favors. I was set on edible and chocolate. I have a cake and candy supply store that I frequent and they did not have the mold I wanted. I had no choice but to search the Internet in hopes of finding and Eiffel Tower sucker mold. I was in luck and I did find one. Here is the finished product. Everyone loved them and I still have two in my fridge! If you ever need a great online supply store, here you go www.sugarcraft.com

Wedding Cake Toppers

When I was planning my wedding, there was debate over a "theme." I wanted a topper that was personal, not the typical bride and groom figurines. At the time there were not all the great choices there are now with the silver monograms etc. I decided to make my own. Above is a picture show casing my two designs. I found the Mickey and Minnie figurines at Disneyland and just added them to a plastic base I found at Michael's. I think I found the fan there as well. As for the Eiffel Tower, that was an ornament and I simply cut the string off and attached the roses and the blue tag. I added lace around the base and the red ribbon and then three little red roses under. We ultimately went with the "Paris" theme....here is a picture of our cake, it was homemade with a lot of love by my Mom. Yes it is leaning but it was July and very hot. It did end up "falling" before we had a chance to cut it. But it still tasted GREAT!
