  Use your favorite cake or cupcake recipe. Pour the batter into a cupcake pan lined with paper cups for ease in removing. Bake and then freeze them flat on a plate or cardboard. Instead of baking, buy store bought.

  Bake or buy a traditional cake to place on the top tier according to your choice. Allow to cool, and place this on a round cardboard, and put into the freezer as well.

  Take out the frozen cupcakes and the traditional cake a week or more before the wedding. Decorate the tiers as you desire. Make or buy the toppings and add to the cupcakes and the traditional cake. Freeze once again.

Tips & Warnings

Freeze the cupcakes and cake and topping way in advance of the wedding. They can remain for at least 2 months.
Measure the tier and the cupcakes to determine how many you need.Make sure you place them very close together for a better cake look
Instead of regular cupcakes, miniature ones are great. They fill out the tiers even better than regular ones do.
Make a traditional cake to place on the top of the tier so the bride and groom can cut the cake.
Instead of baking, buy store bought one layer cake, and plain regular or miniature cupcakes and freeze and ice them as mentioned above.
Bring the frozen cakes and the Tier, to where the wedding dinner will take place. Place the frozen cakes on the Tier, add decorations as desired.
Do not use freshly baked cupcakes or cake. Frozen will keep them firm until it is time for coffee and wedding cake.
