I knew there wasn't going to be a place to cut the cake so I decided on cupcakes. I picked just a basic vanilla cupcake with vanilla buttercream but decorated with these beautiful "B's" on top.
I melted white candy melts and piped the B's on wax paper. Once they dried I stood them up in the buttercream.
I found the thinner I made the letters the more fragile they were. I made several sheets like the one below and still had to make more cause many broke as I was sticking in the frosting.
The B's by the way stand for Burger which is my moms new last name!
Hopefully soon there will be some good news to report and we can actually plan a real reception for them!
