A Weekend of Wedding Cupcakes

I just realized that there are very few times that I get to publicly thank my crew. Simply put, these are some of the best bakers and pastry chef’s in Hampton Roads and passionate about baking. Our bakers [except for me] are professionally trained from CIV to the French Pasty School. Not that this is necessary to be a great baker but they’ve gotten me out of a few [maybe more] jams with their knowledge. Certainly we all stretched our creative muscle the weekend of 10-10-10.  We almost ran 24 hour shifts with the staff coming in around the clock to get the tasks completed.  While we pride ourselves on baking fresh daily from scratch there is still only so much an oven can bake and cake artists can decorate.

Wedding number 1 was amazing and fun.  This is the first wedding that Just Cupcakes ever booked the first month that we opened in ‘09.  The bride is a lovely nurse, marrying a great guy with a love of life and motorcycles.  The Mom of the bride is one of my favorite people and I hope that I remember her patience when planning for my own someday. Attached are some of the results. Enjoy!
