The Royal Wedding Day

April 29, 2011
William & Kate
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge...and future king and queen of England.  I hope that at some point today they are served a cupcake.


My friend Kristi is in London this week and sent me some fabulous photos from local bakeries celebrating the royal wedding with baked tributes. She didn't identify the specific bakeries, so if the creators of these cakes happen to come across this blog, please email me your information.  I would love to credit your beautiful work.

William & Kate Cupcakes

Less than 24 hours to go until the royal wedding....for those looking forward to it and for those who can't wait for it to be over.  Whatever side you are on, only one more day to go!

Princess Cupcakes

Princess cupcakes are appropriate as the royal wedding day approaches.  Kate Middleton will enter Westminster Abbey as a commoner and emerge a princess...so if you are watching the wedding, take a big bite of a princess cupcake as she emerges from the church.

You can make your own princess cupcake wrappers thanks to the blog Food Art Party!  There are lots of other goodies on that site too, so be sure to check it out.

Royal Wedding Cupcake Supplies

Cakes, Cookies & Crafts (UK) has everything you can imagine to make Royal Wedding cupcakes....if only I had found this site in time to order before the wedding.  Oh well...Prince Harry will get married one day!  I will have to make room in my luggage to bring back some supplies. 

P.S.  I like the term "cupcake cases."

Blog Recommendation: Sweet Bakes of Mine

I recently received a comment from another cupcake blogger and wanted to share her blog with you.  We are nurses but also share a love of baking.  You will love her blog! 

Sweet Bakes of Mine

by Yaneri

(Scroll down on the right side and play Sugar Sugar by The Archies while you are enjoying her blog.  I have listened to it five times in a row! This song has a special place in my heart...when I was in the 7th grade my boyfriend and I chose this as "our song")

London & Cupcakes

To kick off Royal Wedding Week I wanted to feature some cupcakeries in London.  You can't keep up the strength to follow the royals without a little sugar & cake!  I also have another motive....doing research for my trip to London in June.

Royal Wedding Week Begins!

Countdown to the Royal Wedding!  My friend Kristi is flying to London tomorrow and will be sending me photos and Royal Wedding updates all week.  Her mission is to boldly go and seek out cupcakes from every corner of London!  Stay tuned this week....I feel a case of Royal fever coming on.

Mistake Corrected

Yesterday I posted about a contest from Nikki's Cakery....and mistakenly linked her site to another blog.  I have corrected it (a big thanks to the reader who caught the error).  I worked a night shift in the ER Friday night and blogged without sleeping first.  Lesson learned:  friends don't let friends type tired! 

Happy Easter!

No matter how you celebrate this holiday, enjoy it with a cupcake!
