200 cupcakes.

200 cupcakes.

Joe's colleagues' response to the cupcakes I sent to work: cupcake ransom note.

Have I mentioned that two of my most wonderful friends are getting married in June?
Have I mentioned that they asked me to make the cupcakes for their wedding?

That's right, I will be baking, icing and caring over many tiny cakes for the most important day in my friends' lives thus far.  And therefore, I have been practicing.  They have asked for three kinds: chocolate, vanilla and a "fun" flavor.

Here's the plan:

1.) Chocolate cupcake topped with whipped ganache frosting and a bit of sea salt
2.) Vanilla bean cupcake topped with whipped white frosting, simple but lovely
3.) And...perhaps a lemon cupcake with raspberry frosting (I still have to try this one!)

More photos to come. :)
