Wow, it's been a long winter, right? There's no better way to celebrate a sassy summer wedding then a succulent tower of cupcakes. But if you're like most brides, you're wondering how to add a pinch of pizazz to your pastries. Here are some of the hottest hues and designs for a cupcake-loving summer bride.
Rainbow of Purples
Purple is still going super-strong, thanks to the continued influence of high fashion. Happily, nothing could be more summery than a lovely rainbow of cupcakes ranging from lavender to orchid to violet. Pop in a few cream-colored and white ones for contrast, top them all with nonpareils or a dainty paste flower, and you have something that's truly festive. Set off these treats with a few sprigs of greenery.
Black & White Damask
You've probably noticed that brides are going nuts for damask this year: fortunately, that makes things a cinch for cupcake brides. Just drop some chocolate-and-vanilla cupcakes into those gorgeous damask cupcake wrappers (mix white-on-black and black-on-white for funky effect), top with piped white icing (even though it looks kind of cool, your guests don't really want to eat black frosting), and you're done!
Pink and Orange
This electric color combo is the perfect way to celebrate summer brights for a whimsical bride. Try serving up flavors like Madagascar vanilla, "creamsicle" and red velvet bases with a creamy buttercream frosting topped with bright, fresh fruit (cherries, raspberries and blueberries are good). Add sizzle to your cupcake tower with flaming gerber daisies, and you've got a hit!
Tiffany Blue
Nothing can beat this sophisticated hue for an uptown summer wedding. Be sure to set off your gorgeous aqua frosting with a bright white foil, such as a white sugar paste flower or bow, or a white chocolate heart. Or, equally appealing: soft Tiffany-blue frosting topping a cupcake you've tucked in a filigree cupcake wrapper. Decorate your cupcake tower with a little sparkle: diamond confetti's a good choice. So is rhinestone trim.
Fondant Pastels
For a very sophisticated yet feminine look, fondant cupcakes are the ticket. The hottest type are made using fondant impression mats, to embed elaborate scrollwork, lace and other patterns into the frosting. Have yours made in classic summer tea-party hues of cream, pink, yellow and lavender, with a impressive overlay of small fondant flowers to finish the look. You'll hear plenty of comments like this: "they're almost too pretty to eat!'
