A Wedding and a Cupcake Sale

It took....

2 whole days,

and 9+ pounds of butter,

around 26 cups of sugar,

more than 3 dozen eggs,

10 limes,

nearly 14 pounds of powdered sugar,

6 cans of garbanzo beans,

3 cups of Greek yogurt,

and a few other ingredients,

so that Cami could bake cupcakes for her very first wedding reception!!! 

  
She made 10 dozen for the wedding (key lime, greek yogurt strawberry, german chocolate, coconut, and chocolate-peanut butter) and another 3 dozen for a separate order (funfetti, greek yogurt lemon, and key lime) due the same afternoon.

 They turned out beautifully and they were the perfect addition to the wedding dessert table.  She also kept the cupcake stands stocked through the night. 

She had employed three of her siblings to help her bake (paying them $3 each), employed her Dad as her go-to man for last-minute ingredient runs (volunteer position), and her mother as cupcake topper maker (a job I happily volunteered for, so I could have a good excuse to pull out my rubber stamps and other crafting supplies). 

I may be a little biased, but I think Cami has done a fantastic job of running her own business this summer and I couldn't be prouder of my baker-girl! 

This has been an amazing experience for Cami this summer, getting paid to do something she loves.   Thank you for all of your support!

For those who have yet to experience the glory of Cami's cupcakes, or for those those of you who may be interested in trying some of Cami's cupcakes, but haven't wanted to commit to buying a dozen of the same flavor, this is the perfect time to announce:
