Less is more. Okay, so it was a poet who said it first, and then an architect ran with it, but it's a good motto for a new trend in wedding cakes, too: the .Cupcakes are less expensive than traditional wedding cakes, and because they are in essence single-serving cakes, they are also more flexible. You can have more than one flavor of cake, perhaps indicated by the colour of the icing or the paper holder. You can have a few vegan cupcakes and diabetic-friendly cupcakes on offer for those who need them! They can be served up on a tiered platter, as shown, or as single-serving cakes. Large cupcake stands can hold up to 300 cakes.
You don't even have to do without the traditional cutting of the cake. Bakers will provide a small cake made which matches the cupcakes (and your color scheme!) for the cutting, and you can use the cupcakes for serving to guests. It's quick and efficient, and less mess.
Consider the cupcake: a trendy little handful.

Yes! This is totally what I want to do!!!! .......I will just have to make sure that someone keeps me from eating, oh, say, 10 cupcakes.....
ReplyAlso, cupcakes have the perfect cake/frosting ratio. And it is so easy to make look cute.
ReplyAs someone who is looking into having cupcakes at her wedding, that are not less expensive! They are exactly the same price as a cake. They are just another option for those who don't want a wedding cake.
ReplyYou know, all the sites I checked out were in agreement that they were less expensive. But I wondered about that, because, even though they're small, they each require decoration, so over all, you'd think the effort to make 300 cupcakes would be much the same (if not more!) than that required to make one big fancy cake.
ReplySo, I'm sure you're quite right, Heather. Thanks for the input. They're still a fun option for the reception, though!
I'm doing cupcakes for my wedding by myself. It's going to save so much! :) It's not difficult to make them look fancy! Since they seem to be the new "it" thing, the price is going to go up with bakers, etc... try it yourself though, you may be surprised! :)
