Wedding Cupcake Tower

My sister had asked me awhile back if I would make her wedding cupcakes!!!! Of course I said yes, how could I say no... However, they ALL had to be Gluten Free. Now is you have ever tasted anything Gluten Free you can understand my hesitation with this! I was really worried that they would taste funny or not turn out like my normal cupcakes! I had made Gluten Free cupcakes before and they were pretty decent for gluten free, but this wasn't just for fun cupcakes or for a random get together, this was for a wedding where 100 people would be eating them. I hate to make sure they tasted good, bakery quality good. So I experimented with a few flavors and talked with the Bride and Groom to see what they wanted. In the end we went with a plain Vanilla Cupcake and a Strawberry Cupcake with fresh Strawberries!!!!! The strawberry cupcakes we actually pretty amazing! I thought they were super yummy!!!! And you couldn't even tell they were Gluten Free which made them even more amazing! For the top tier I just did Vanilla cake layered with Vanilla butter cream. 

I had pre-made hundreds of these tiny red and black flowers with pearls in the center.The biggest challenge of this whole process was getting 100 cupcakes from my place in Whitby on a Thursday night to my parents cottage in Peterborough the Friday for the Wedding on Saturday without them getting stale and being able to get them iced and to the wedding venue among all the other final wedding preparations going on. Over all I think they turned out pretty great !!!!
