Cupcake Swag!

We are having a cupcake bar at the wedding and when i saw these adorable flags from buttercreambee's shop, I squealed with excitement. I wonder if I could make them myself... I am going to investigate. ;)

Cupcake Weddig Favors.

If you know me personally, you know that my obsession for cupcakes is BEYOND unhealthy. If the MR. knows I am upset, his first resort is the cupcake, and while we don't make them very well we always know where to go for the perfect cup-o-heaven. So it was a natural decision that we wouldn't have a traditional wedding cake and "go big" with a cupcake bar!

So the next logical step was to do a "Mrs. Elle and Mr. Elle Wedding Cupcake Mixes" favor. We were thinking we would buy these custom boxes, and place an addition label on the boxes that explains how to make the special day cupcakes on the later date of the guest choice, therefore reminding them of our special day...

It will say something like...
Step 1. Mix one cup of love (1 Cup of water)
ect.



{But I loved these boxes because they are in the shape of a wedding cake and people can just pick them off as they go! What do you think... ps. they will be in a different color, and possibly with different ribbons, but I really like the designer So Inviting.}

{I am also kinda crazy about this boxes from Nashville Wraps.}

What do you think?

The Sweetest Cake.

Awww cute

I found these adorable wedding cupcakes and just had to share them really quick. They are from my absolute favorite bakery in the entire world: Le Gateau in Dallas, Texas. I don't know what these people put in their cake batter but it's magical, and definitely addicting. True story: I once brought their white chocolate cake with lemon filling and butter cream frosting as a carry-on item on a flight from Dallas to San Diego. I was looking at colleges in the Dallas area and just had to bring back a cake for my girlfriends. Four of us demolished the 10-serving cake in 45 minutes.

Original and Delicious!

Maybe not these colors... BUT when I saw these works of art from Patti-Kakes.
They screamed centerpieces to me.

Wedding Favors!

Ryan Here...

So first off I would like to tell you all how much I am obsessed with baking. Most of the girls I know have given me the nickname Izzy (i.e. Izzy Stevens from Grey's Anatomy). For some reason I find baking helps with my stress levels from work and men. I have a knack for attracting taken (mostly married) men. Baking really just relaxes my soul :) Hopefully that will let you gain some insight on my passion. I have been emailing Elle some ideas for wedding favors and came across the cutest array of cupcake mix boxes from Beau Coup's website. More favor ideas to come! I am always up for anything sweet!

Peace and Hugs,

Ryan :)
