MPR's Events Coordinator Amy H. ordered the cupcakes from "A Cupcake Social" in south Minneapolis, phoned the owner, Suzette Herr, and texted pictures that had been taken of the stops on the organ at Amy's church. Suzette knew immediately what to do. Our request was to use as many different names as possible, but wanted them to all have the same legibility and the same size font. She suggested using edible rice paper., and also made cake and frosting flavor suggestions and bought a special paper holder that would support the look of the organ stops. This was a total custom job, and Suzette was a total pro.
