Why Choose A Wedding Cupcakes Cake?
There are a
myriad of reasons why brides choose cupcakes for weddings in lieu of
one traditional wedding cake. From cost savings to flexibility of
design and flavor, see below for the top reasons to choose wedding
cupcakes for a wedding cake.
Wedding
cupcakes are trendy
Fresh and
unique in appearance, wedding cupcake cakes are a very stylish
substitution for a traditional wedding cake. Also, they aren’t as
common as traditional wedding cakes so wedding cupcakes give your
wedding a little something different.
Cupcakes for
weddings cost less
Wedding cake
cupcakes also can be a lot less expensive than a full wedding cake.
Because your cake baker won’t have to assemble the cupcakes and the
cupcakes won’t have fillings, the amount of manual labor is cut
significantly. It is also easier to decorate wedding cupcakes as
opposed to one large cake. For these reasons, using wedding cupcake
cakes can be much more affordable than using a traditional cake at
your wedding.
Wedding
cupcake cakes allow you to be a little more innovative with display
and design.
 Since you are
working with many small cupcakes instead of one large cake, you can
even vary the wedding cupcake designs for each group of cupcakes you
have. Depending on the way you display your wedding cupcake cakes,
you can have different icing colors as well.
Another way
that you can be more creative is to use more than one flavor for
your wedding cupcake cakes. You could have two or three different
flavors of cupcakes and guests could choose they flavor that they
prefer.
Ideas For Wedding Cupcake Designs
When it comes
to wedding cupcake decoration, the possibilities are endless. You
could have wedding cupcakes decorated slightly differently along the
same theme – like flowers, and you could pick four flowers and each
cupcake could be decorated with a different one.
You can also
have all of your wedding cupcakes decorated the same way for a
uniform look that is similar to the look of a traditional wedding
cake. When all of the cupcakes are decorated with the same icing
designs, the overall effect is a dramatic one.
Another idea
is to use monograms to decorate the cupcakes. Each cupcake would
have one color icing and then be topped with a monogram pick or an
icing monogram.
You could
also use your favorite candy to decorate the cupcakes for your
wedding. Nonpareils, sprinkles, candied flowers, chocolate
shavings, edible gold leaf, ribbon candy, chocolate dipped fruit or
even a classic candy like M&M’s (in your wedding colors) can be used
to decorate wedding cupcake cakes.
 How To Display Wedding Cupcake Cakes
There are
lots of ways you can display your wedding cupcakes to make them look
beautifully presented. See below for our favorite ways of
displaying wedding cupcake cakes individually or en masse.
Tiered
Cupcake Wedding Cakes
The classic
way to display wedding cupcake cakes is by using traditional wedding
cake tiers and placing the cupcakes in bunches on each level, giving
a layered look.
Tiered cupcake wedding cakes can also be displayed
with a large monogram or cake topper as the top tier or even a small
wedding cake on the top tier. As with regular wedding cakes, you
can place flowers between the tiered cupcake layers for additional
decoration.
Individual
Wedding Cupcakes
Another way
to display wedding cupcake cakes is to place each cake in a separate
plate or in a decorative box. If you’re using wedding cupcakes in
addition to other desserts, it’s good to wrap them individually so
guests may take them home if they choose.
Wedding
Cupcakes Cakes on Cake Stands
For a
different display, try placing groups of cupcakes on cake stands at
different heights. You could have three different cake stands of
different heights displayed with groups of cupcakes on each or you
could use stands of different shapes or designs. This is a good way
of cupcake display when you have more than one cupcake flavor or
design.
