This weekend we had an order that was especially close to us. Our big brother Juan and his girlfriend Grace were engaged a little while back, and this weekend was Grace’s bridal shower. What could be more fitting than cupcakes at a bridal shower?!?!?! But…not just any cupcakes, that’s right, Two Parts Sugar cupcakes. And, not just any Two Parts Sugar cupcakes…..technology inspired cupcakes! I know what you’re thinking….technology inspired cupcakes for a bridal shower?!?! So, I’ll let you in on when this inspiration came from.

Our brother Juan Sanchez has always been computer savvy and into the latest and greatest of all things computer-like. You will never see him without his ibook or iphone. As any woman (or man for that matter) with a business driven partner may know, sometimes you feel as though you are competing with these new gadgets. My husband is glued to his phone, but it’s business and I think we all realize it is a necessary part of business life. So, a while back Grace and I were joking about making a cake to look like an ibook with a bra slung over it. So, when it came time for cupcakes, I thought why not? 

We went with Grace’s favorite Raspberry Red Velvet and topped them with ibooks and bras, iphones with hearts, and hearts with the couples initials. All were lined with custom cupcake wrappers which display their engagement photos (notice the one in the middle….iphone pic!). They were so much fun to make and it really captures not only Grace’s great sense of humor (and patience with these gadgets) but also Juan’s passion for technology. 

CONGRATULATIONS JUAN AND GRACE! We wish you all the happiness in the world!
