Chocolate and butter cake cupcakes covered in cream cheese buttercream icing. Adorned with "B" fondant tokens. The top cutting cake was also butter cake with cream cheese buttercream icing.



Those of you that are friends with me on facebook already got to hear me moan and groan about the tragedy of this cake for an entire day last week, so I advise you to skip over this part if you would like.
Basically, my mother, my BIL, and I spent about 2 days and about $75 in materials constructing this cupcake tower that I had planned on using for many years to come in various other weddings and events. However, the caterer of the wedding decided that I was never going to use it again and it was thrown away at the end of the reception. 
I emailed the catering company last week and have not gotten a single response from anyone yet about reimbursing me for the loss of this. Can you tell I'm still a little pissed about it? Grrrrr. Anyway, I guess it was a lesson to me for future reference that I will have to tell everyone working for a catering company not to throw away things that obviously don't look like they should be thrown away, or I guess I will just have to attend every wedding reception that I make a cake for in the future to ensure that they don't destroy my shizz again. ![]()

You did an awesome job! It's really beautiful. I can't believe they threw away the tower!
Oh, I love the close-up shots, too.
1I still think that somebody stole it. THere is no way in my head that a reasonable person can throw away something so pretty.

It would almost make me feel better if someone DID steal it, that way it would be getting some love
and use somewhere.
3I agree with Shi!! I can't believe on other option.
4Oh my gosh, I totally love the cupcake cake!!
5It's gorgeous! Sucks that the stupid caterer had to be the black cloud over such a lovely project.
6Cupcakes...
Oh, sorry, where was I?
Thats such bullsh*t! Its even more bullsh*t that no-one has gotten back toy uo about it! Are you going to press the issue with the caterer?
7They stole it, and from now on every time they use it they will be forever in fear of you showing up to point your accusing finger at them shouting "THIEVES!!!" while the police hauls their delinquent butts out to jail.

I am forwarding my original email to the catering director today. Maybe I'll get ANY response out of him, even if it's just a "I'm sorry".
9He hasn't replied yet? RUDE!

Ashley, I think that's a very good idea. Please keep us updated.
111) Those cupcakes look DELICIOUS
2) That SUCKS!
I am so pissed for you! I hope you
hear something from that catering director soon!!
12They should apologize and reimburse you. If you have to make another, maybe write your name on the bottom of it in Sharpie so no caterers can steal/toss it. I'm betting it wasn't thrown out too. I bet caterers make cupcakes often enough, or layered fruit trays or something.
13The cupcake tower looks beautiful. I hate that the catering co. did that to you!!
14I can't believe that some caterer would throw out that gorgeous tower! Either he's an idiot or he's a liar and someone stole it. I hope you at the very least get an apology
15Well how rude of them.
But you did a spectacular job on that tower!
