Let the (Wedding Prep) Begin

Here's my list for daughter CMM's upcoming wedding:

1.  Bake 150 cupcakes. Half key lime, half coconut. (You put the lime in the coconut and shake it all up.) 

2.  Take photography day of the event. Be in some of the photos. Use the shot list.

3.  Do the flowers - tables and bouquets.

4.  Provide the bev's.  DONE

5.  Make and send out the invites. DONE

6.  Make the thank you notes.

7.  Order the tables and linens.

8.  Make a cutting cake (specifically, a red velvet cutting cake with cream cheese frosting).

9.  Find a nice pen for the sign-in book.

The wedding is in three weeks. I've been steadily chipping away at things. Last week, I found an app for my iPhone that lets me use it as a shutter control so I can hold it in my hand while I take a group picture that I myself am in.

Monday, I went to the flower mart to see what is available and in season for flowers and other floral-type decorations. Yesterday I got the beverages, minus the champagne.  Today, I started on the cupcakes. Well, at least the candied lime peel for the top of the key lime cupcakes.

Tomorrow I will go to the restaurant supply place to see about some coconut, some cupcake paper wrappers that go with the lime green/brown theme, and some other surprise items.

Here's the candied lime peel, in process.
