On May 22, 2010 in Leavenworth, WA, Jessica and Matt got married. It was a gorgeous day - sun shining, kids laughing, colors popping.

Each piece of their wedding was so unique and truly exemplified their personalities and relationship. Dr. Seuss was read at the wedding, piñatas adorned the reception (one even in the shape of Matt's Vanagon), a tequila bar served the refreshments of choice and hand dipped candles on every table. I don't know if I'll ever witness such a wonderful wedding again. When they asked me to be a part of it and create the cupcakes/cake, I was truly honored to be a part of it.
But you try driving 2 hours over the winding mountain roads with a trunk packed full of 200 cupcakes and a cake buckled into the backseat!
120 cupcakes crammed in my freezer...only 80 more to go. We had three different flavors - gluten free devils food, vanilla and apple spice.
The display was beautifully arranged by the extraordinary Amanda since I was at the wedding ceremony during the reception set-up. A simple cardboard cupcake tier was covered in decorative wrapping paper that matched the wedding colors (hot pink, turquoise, and bright orange if you couldn't tell!).
Gluten-free devils food was topped with buttercream for the groom's gluten allergy; apple spice with a brown sugar cream cheese frosting; and vanilla with a mocha buttercream. Delicious!
A rooster groom and a chicken bride topped the cake at the focal point of the display. The bride and groom raise chickens in their backyard so they were the perfect choice. Jessica and Matt also love kayaking and that is how our little chicken couple arrived at the reception!
Matt tries to smear cake on Jessica's face, while to the left Dashiel tries to sneak a cupcake early.
Happy one-year anniversary Matt and Jess - I can't wait to see what the future holds for you! XO!
