My wife and I agree that our wedding day was magical, yet somewhat blurry with friends and family to entertain, tear-jerking toasts, dancing, garters to toss, cake to cut, memories to capture...and did I mention CAKE? Our cupcakes were RIDICULOUS!! I’m talking Food Network, the best thing I ever ate ridiculous!
If it weren’t for our wedding photographers, who eloquently and artistically captured our magical memories,the décor, the food, the ambiance, and the laughter...all these little things, our day would have been a mere figment of our imaginations. But what teases us the most about that day are visions of cupcakes dancing towards our mouths…the anticipation of sweet, velvety, perfectly moistened pink champagne cake touching our lips before taking that first bite.
Which for me includes a hint of buttercream frosting followed by a sin-saturated, fluffy burst of creamy goodness – white chocolate mousse. And that was just the beginning!
PJ South, owner (and now part of our FABuList) of La Dolce Pesca in Scottsdale, AZ, also expressed pure decadence in the form of coffee-infused chocolate cake with a rich caramel mouse filling. Who knew cupcakes would be the topic of conservation amongst family & friends almost two months after our fairytale wedding?
Just the two of us, sampling two of these luscious cupcakes, is one of many new Cárdenas Family Traditions.
Recapturing our special day was important as we are both passionate about family and tradition. Thus, the creation of "two cupcake 20th," that will forever remind us of that heavenly cake…I mean day…or I mean cake, or perhaps both? On the 20th of each month we will celebrate with the ultimate anniversary treat...a cupcake tasting.
