CUPCAKES

ARE CUPCAKES A POPULAR TREND AT WEDDINGS?

These days couples get creative with everything, even down to the cake. Many couples are opting to have cupcake tress instead of a traditional wedding cake on their wedding day. This way one can have lots of different flavours for your guests rather than having to pick from one set of flavour. When wedding cupcakes first became a trend, they were touted as a great way to save money. Cupcake wedding cakes can add a conversational touch to an already enjoyable event. Your guests will appreciate the originality and if the bride chooses, the various flavours to choose from.

The cupcake wedding cake is used, instead of a regular wedding cake. Sometimes a traditional cake is used for photos while the cupcakes are served to the guests.

 However, in a true cupcake wedding cake there’s usually at least one cake tier (or a separate cake) that is used for the cutting of the cake. Although this is not a completely new idea, it is becoming much more popular and for a few very good reasons:

  ØA cupcake wedding cake is usually a cheaper option   than a traditional cake.

 Ø      Cupcake wedding cakes are easier to handle

and not as messy.

 Ø      Transporting cupcakes is a lot easier than carrying a large cake with multiple layers.

     Ø      Since there are so many little cakes, you can

           actually have a lot of different flavors! 

Ø      Because they’re individually wrapped, the reception staff doesn’t have to deal with cutting and plating up slices for each guest. 

Ø      The cupcakes don’t even have to be served. Each guest can pick a cupcake from the tower or “cupcake bar”. 

Ø      Cupcakes are also easier to carry home for the guest who would love a piece of cake, but would rather not eat it at the reception.

Ø      They could also be boxed up and used as favours.

     Using cupcakes at your wedding allows you to offer a variety of flavours and you can even accommodate special dietary needs, such as sugar free for diabetics. So, don’t be afraid to offer multiple flavours and colours as well as different types of icing.
