Cupcakes have become very popular for weddings. They can be placed on a special cupcake holder (stand), which can be decorated, or they can be placed on tiered pastry dishes. For a quick and elegant cupcake holder, consider one made from glass dishes held up, in tiers, by upside-down Champagne glasses. Place flowers or other colorful objects in the glasses for decoration. A small cake can be placed at the top, as the bride and groom's cake.
There are many reasons to choose cupcakes over a traditional wedding cake. The self-serve dessert can be offered with different flavors, icing and decoration. Also, they can be made and decorated by the bride and/or a designated member of the wedding party, doing away with an expensive wedding cake bill. Elegant cupcake "papers" are now available in copper, gold, silver or white. Picture white fluffy cupcakes with a sugar standing in the frosting of each one, sitting in a silver foil paper, simple and elegant. -
A traditional wedding cake is usually a white cake with white buttercream frosting. The shape of your cake can be heart, square, diamond, triangle or a combination. They certainly can be set evenly squared, but each layer can also be set at different angles on a tiered wedding cake. The layers of your wedding cake can be sculpted into unique shapes, such as stacked flower pots for a spring (or garden) wedding.
The frosting on your wedding cake can be any flavor or color you like. But it can also be handpainted or airbrushed. You can even have a striped or patterned frosting. Candy can decorate the wedding cake, rather than roses made of icing. Consider jelly beans, red-hot hearts, lemon drops or custom-made candy printed with the names of the bride and groom.
