They made 300 cupcakes - raspberry with homemade lemon curd, bourbon vanilla caramel, and vegan gluten free to name a few, plus a mini wedding cake! My niece who has a big, full time job btw made or ordered the decorations and she even altered her mom’s wedding dress herself to make her adorable rehearsal dinner dress. I dream of being as organized as these two.
