Cake!

Ok, let's talk cake . . . cupcakes!
In case any of you had trouble envisioning the cupcake tower with an actual top tier cake, here is an example.
Since we're looking at about 300 guests the tower will be taller and significantly wider. I'm thinking it will probably have to be square shaped because they fit more cupcakes.
I decided to use fondant because I can make the cupcakes way before and the fondant will keep it fresh and moist. I want it to be very simple to make it easier on me and it'll be easy on the eyes. I think just light colored fondant with edible glitter dust (maybe in light green) or sugar pearls, or both... nah, just one. Here are the pearls and dust used on cupcakes.
I asked Francesco what he wanted as a cake topper but he said I should pick. I like so many things but I keep going back to birds. I was thinking of making some felt birdies, but I think they would look maybe too cute and my mom would say it was childish, soooo here are these, that I LOVE!
