Ginkgo wedding cupcakes

Today I did these nice little ginkgo cupcakes which are meant as a giveaway at a friend’s wedding.

I spent my entire day working in the kitchen and it was soooo much fun.

Since they had the ginkgo theme already at the invitations we agreed in using it for the cupcakes again.

I started the day before with making green ginkgo leaves out of colored fondant and let them dry overnight. Today I baked a bunch of white choco muffins and covered them with just a little bit of lemon mascarpone topping after they were completely cold. Then I used the remaining white fondant which I rolled out and cut into muffin sized circles. I took off another ginkgo shaped piece in the center of the circle because in my opinion it looks better if there aren’t layers and layers of fondant on the cupcake.

Afterwards I packed all cupcakes in pastel green cups (which were made by the couple itself) and little clear bags. Then I tied them with a light and dark green bow.

I hope it will be a wonderful wedding and once again all the best for the happy couple.
