The Scoop on Wedding Cupcakes
Want some cupcake gossip? Learn what others have said about cupcakes!We wouldn’t be doing our job if we didn’t mention wedding dessert alternatives. Wedding Cupcakes and mini desserts are a trendy, easy and cost effective alternative to the expensive tradition. Cupcake designs are front and center in Martha Stewart Weddings, and InStyle Weddings magazines.
Mini cupcakes in fancy cupcake holders on a beautifully decorated cupcake stand, is the hot trendy item these days. Do couples really fore go the tradition? You bet. But why? Sometimes it’s due to cost. Some couples resent the tradition and expectation that they have to pay thousands of dollars on a dessert at their nuptials. Alternative desserts are non-traditional, creative, so much less expensive. There’s many adorable display options: a cupcake tower, a cupcake tree, patterned display on a table, lined up on a deck railing, you name it. They can be individualized, decorated in patterns, wrapped with die cut cupcake wrappers, monogrammed, boxed, bagged, the sky is the limit. They’re trendy! If you haven’t noticed all the cupcake bakeries popping up across America, you’ve missed out. Kara’s Cupcakes, based in the S.F. Bay Area not only has bakeries from Napa to San Jose, CA, but has a traveling van that will attend any event you choose. Oh yes! They will even bake a couple hundreds of those cute little things for your nuptials! If you’re hip on dessert alternatives, but you don’t want to miss out on the traditional “cutting” ceremony. You can choose to have your baker make a small cake, that could perhaps sit on the top of your tiered cupcake stand. You can even save it for your first anniversary. Whenever desserts are displayed we always recommend that guests serve themselves, it’s great for conversation and mingling. Great info on wedding cupcake ideas below! Cupcake ContainersCupcake containers make for great favors at weddings, or just give guests the opportunity to take home any leftover desserts. Single piece cupcake boxes come in a variety of colors, mostly solid, like gold, silver, matte brown and white.
Cutest Cupcake WrapperThe most cutest cupcake wrapper is one that ties the color or theme of your event together. What are they, you may ask? A wrapper or sleeve is what you cover the outside of a cupcake after it’s baked. What a difference they make!
Cupcake Decorating IdeasThere's a broad range of cupcake decorations for you to use on your wedding cupcakes. You can either choose ready-made designs, or have your baker come up with something that's totally unique to your event.
Cupcake CenterpiecesCupcake centerpieces kill two birds with one stone, really! If you have cute cupcake icing, put them on a tiered round in the center of your dining tables, sprinkle around some fresh flowers, and viola! You're done. No fussy cake, no expensive flower centerpieces, no wait staff needed to cut and serve. When guests are ready to indulge in dessert, they can serve themselves.
Cupcake StandsThere are so many styles, shapes and colors of any cupcake stand you want. If you're set on having a cupcake tiered wedding cake, then you have some fun decisions to make on which cupcake stand will be right for you.
Cupcake HoldersYou can bring your dessert to a whole different level with a great cupcake holder! One things that's important to understand is the difference between a holder (also called a liner or paper) and a wrapper (also called a sleeve).
We love wedding cupcakes! Enjoy!
