I was recently commissioned  to create vintage cupcakes for a wedding. The wedding, itself, will have a turn of the century theme and cupcakes will flow with the theme. The bride graciously invited me to her bridal gown fitting,in order to have the cupcake be inspired by her dress. I was excited by the moment I saw her blush pink wedding dress, and later that night  began to design the cupcakes. I knew beautiful blossom flowers and elegant roses were apropos for the occasion to match her dress. The cupcakes for the wedding will be individually wrapped in blush coloured paisley cupcake wrappers, giving the finally chicness to the cupcakes!

 With weddings happening during this coming weekend and the spring /summer brides anxiously awaiting their special day I thought you might enjoy this tutorial on four styled Vintage Garden Cupcakes! It has become fashionable to serve cupcakes either with a matching cake or by themselves.

Champagne Wedding Cupcakes

275 grams/ 9 ½ egg whites

1/8-teaspoon egg white powder

1-teaspoon vanilla

180 grams/ ¾-cup milk

375 grams/ 3 5/8-cup cake flour

20 grams/ 1½-Tablespoon baking powder

400 grams/ 2-cups sugar

1-teaspoon salt

180 grams/ ¾-cup Champagne, Rose

180 grams/ 1½ sticks or 6 ounces butter, cut into 1-Tablespoon, cubed

 

Prepare your mise en place and preheat the oven to 160 degrees C/ 325 degrees.

In the bowl of your standing mixer sift the flour and baking powder together.

Add butter in cubes.

On low speed, with the paddle attachment, add the milk in a steady stream.

In a measuring jug whisk the champagne, egg whites and vanilla.

Raise the speed to medium  and start adding the egg white/champagne mixture in three batches. After each addition of the egg white/ champagne mixture beat for 25 seconds. Scrape down the sides as needed. Remove the bowl from the standing mixer, fold to ensure all the ingredients are amalgamate.

Using a medium size ice cream scoop fill each cupcake/muffin tin 3/4 filled.

 Bake for 25-30 minutes  or until the cake springs back when gentle pressed in the center and the tops of the cakes should be a light golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow the cakes to cool in the muffin/cupcake pan for about 5 minutes.

Prepare you 50/50 paste mixture and than colour the paste.

Fashion Vintage Garden Rose Cupcake:

 The high fashion mould for 3 roses over lapping on the Vintage Garden Cupcakes will need  to be prepared with a small amount of crisco. The mould is fairly easy to use and you will find the the 50/50 paste will pop out with ease.
