What will the special dessert at your bridal shower be? How about a wedding gown cupcake cake? I’m sure you’ve seen these all over the internet, specifically pininterest.com I asked my mom for help with my daughter, KK’s shower, and she found this cake and texted me a picture. I think it’s adorable! We did, in fact, make the cake for the party.
If you want a tiny peek, you can see a little of it on my post titled: Shower Buffet Tables. I have other pictures, but was not thrilled with how it came out, so I’m not going to share…If I ever make another, I will copy it more closely to these gems you see here. Aren’t they lovely?
I know what I did wrong. I…well, Julia my youngest, made all the cupcakes, (sidebar…the cupcakes were the best our family has EVER tasted. Julia did a fantastic job. I think it was all the butter she added…), frosted the cupcakes, and then assembled them into the dress form. How it SHOULD be done, is to assemble the UNFROSTED cupcakes in dress form, (see the bottom photo),and THEN frost them, making sure the frosting touched all cupcakes involved. 🙂
Our guests knew right away what the design was, though, so we must have done an ‘ok’ job. We tried using real jewelry to decorate the cake, (i.e. pearls), like the one cake above, but it didn’t look as nice as the gorgeous bow my friend, Debbie, fashioned from delicate ribbon. We got THAT part right… Another issue, is that the guests hated to take a cupcake and ‘ruin’ the cake. I suggest asking a few family members or close friends to begin taking cupcakes to get the party started! Piping would have helped give the ‘cake’ a festive look as well. We just frosted the cupcakes with a few swirls. At least we had a good time creating it!
