Okay. We are talking about 400 cupcakes. Individually boxed. I totally underestimated the time I needed and I finished the whole thing within a week's time.Finding the right boxes. Ordering the cupcake liners. Getting the ingredients for the cake itself and the frosting. And excuse me?! I am using a not so big oven here. Now I am thinking back and I really have no idea how I could do this. We had misunderstanding when we talked about the cost and at that time the bride was still in Chicago. The fight was not a major one but it only made us stronger:) It just felt so special to do such thing for your best friend's wedding. To cut costs, the cupcake is simple vanilla with plain vanilla buttercream. Believe it or not, I didn't frost the cupcakes as I worried they would be ruined when we transported them. And so I frosted them at the venue. YES! At the venue. I frosted 400 cupcakes in about 2.5 hours and I was the only one who was capable to do the piping. I once wanted to give up so badly because I didn't think I could finish them anyway! I remember my hands were shaking when I was done frosting them and I so wanted to cry! But when the bride mentioned me in her thank you speech, it made everything worth it!
