Sugarbird Sweets and Cakery

It was another cupcake wedding at Sugarbird last weekend! And this one was pure elegance and glamour :).

Luckily for us we enlisted some help to give us a hand with the wrapping process!  Then it was off to the reception where they were placed on each person's plate :) But it didn't end there! Also on the menu were 100 cupcakes, plus a small cake for the officia...
