Bridal Shower

"Two hearts, Yours and Mine..."

When you find that perfect someone and you say "I do", it calls for celebration. However, before the big day, there are a few other "All-about-the-bride" celebrations. In this case, we created special Bridal cupcakes for the Bride to Be.


Here is our Bride to Be's designated cupcake! 
This is a Chocolate Cupcake with buttercreme icing and a chocolate "Mrs" topper.
To make this topper you will need:
-melting chocolate (i.e. Merkens, Candy Melts, etc)
-an icing bag fit with a tip (I used #5 Wilton)
-parchment paper

Step 1: Melt the chocolate in the microwave (start with 30 seconds, then in 15 second intervals - so not to have the chocolate burn- stirring each time) until it is at the correct consistency
Step 2: In your already prepared icing bag, scoop the chocolate into the bag
Step 3: Start to write your message or draw your design on your piece of parchment (Hint: If you want to keep all the letters together, you must write in cursive)
Step 4: Place it in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes
Step 5: BE CAREFUL when removing from the fridge. I had 2 fall off my parchment and break (good thing I made 4)
Step 6: Place on cupcake! And you're Done!

So what's a bride without her entourage, oops, I mean bridal party?  :)
You do need witnesses, at the very least to capture this beautiful moment in your amazing stunning beautiful expensive wedding dress! ... oh and I guess your soon to be husband as well and how handsome he looks ;)

Using the damask colour cups liners really allowed the liner to pop offering a bit of elegance.
(Hint: Using foil lined liners is crucial if you do not want your liner to blend into your cupcake - especially when making chocolate ones )
