Basic swirled buttercream cupcakes with pearls and crystal sugar

Jennifer and Brian wanted cupcakes and a cake topper for their wedding.. in their wedding colors of red, black and white. The color themed cupcakes have simple swirled buttercream icing with sugar pearls and crystal sugar. THe topper cake is buttercream iced and coated with sparkling red crystal sugar and topped with a simple monogram.
The bride made her own cupcake stand and the cupcakes were placed in alternating pattern (black, red, black) to accentuate the contrast.
Also, the netted table was a clever way to protect the display in the outdoor farm setting that the reception was in. Plus, it looked soft and romantic with the cascading tule and red satin cloth! =)
