Wedding/bridal shower cupcakes

One of my closest friends recently hired me for her best friend's bridal shower. My only requirements were that the cake had to be a three-tiered white cake and it had to have white roses. I didn't have any requirements for the cupcakes.

Anyway, my friend from Germany is visiting me, so I enlisted her as my assistant. The bridal shower was on Saturday and we were leaving Friday, so we started working on everything on Tuesday. We made seven batches of buttercream icing and four pounds of marshmallow fondant. That was the easy part. The next day we spent hours mixing, baking, leveling and icing the cakes and baking the cupcakes. Thursday was decoration day. It was the day I was most nervous about. After I was done with work that day, Franzi and I got right to work on decorating. We rolled the marshmallow fondant out and smoothed it over each cake tier, then got to work mixing colors to get a purple the shade of the swatch my friend gave me to match with.

I'm only posting the cupcake photos on the blog as I didn't take a great photo of the cake. What do you think?
