Our DIY Wedding: Let them eat cupcakes

 The wedding cake was not high on our list so I decided to make cupcakes and the UK groom cake. The cupcakes did save us lots of money, tasted good, but they were not decorated that great {I'm no professional baker :)}.

I borrowed the cake tower from my sister-in-law and used this to have the pillars go with the lace theme. 

We used edible pearls to decorate the cupcakes

I bought a UK bake pan to make the grooms cake. We did a trial run in February while Kyle was at the Final Four. Here is what we learned: store bought frosting worked better than buying bakery butter creme frosting, use gel food coloring to get the UK blue color not food coloring in a bottle.

 Everyone in the wedding party had a jersey of their favorite college basketball team with their last name on the back on the jersey. I googled each college team to get the right jersey to make.

The UK cake did not turn out as good as I would have liked, but I was glad I did it.
