beer + cupcakes

Last week we featured a chocolate stout peanut butter caramel cupcake flavor & it was definitely one of the more popular choices that week.  It was a chocolate stout cake, filled with peanut butter caramel, topped with sweet cream frosting & more p.b. caramel.

This flavor reminded me of some custom craft beer cupcakes we made for a wedding last fall.  The groom makes his own beer and gave us some vanilla coffee porter to douse the cupcake batter with and, of course, his beer was also served at the wedding.  If you're going to serve beer at your wedding, I thought it would be a fun idea for brides & grooms to collect vintage beer mugs throughout their engagement and have one for each guest, which could also serve as their wedding favor.  Since I love searching for unique vintage finds (even if I don't buy them!), I sourced some cool mugs...

silver mugs, "happy days are here" mug, green mugs, amber mug

pastel mugs, pink depression glass mug, yellow depression glass mugs, aqua mug

glass mugs, milk glass mugs, copper mug, engraved mugs
