Let them eat cake? No! Let them eat Wedding Cupcakes

Ah, the cake. Brides and grooms spent countless hours looking through catalogs and tasting cakes looking for the something special that will not only be lovely to look at but will also tempt the taste buds of their guests. The days where the traditional white cake with white icing topped by a miniature bride and groom are not over, but now there are some unique options such as wedding cupcakes to consider.


Use Wedding Cupcakes instead of Cake

One way to break from tradition is to use wedding cupcakes instead of cake at the reception. You might be surprised to find the variety of styles and colors you can choose from for your display. A good baker will be able to make it look just as fancy and traditional. You will be able to decide if you would like a uniform look, or perhaps a combination of different colors and flavors. You won’t be restricted to just one flavor, filling or design. No more charges for slicing that cake either as this makes an easy to serve option as well.


Kids’ Table Anyone?

Don’t want to experiment on your wedding cake, but the idea of using wedding cupcakes is intriguing? Try using them at a children’s table. Have the caterer bring out a tower or even a simple platter of them after the main meal. Bringing it out later instead of having it already at the table will keep little fingers out of the frosting; parents will also appreciate not having the tempting bits readily available while they are trying the convince the little ones to eat a bit of broccoli or chicken. Your thoughtfulness will be well remembered.



As Favors

Have your wedding cake and wedding cupcakes too! Instead of sending home chocolates, candles or other small tokens send home something that will remind your guest the next day, or late that night, of your beautiful wedding. Have cupcakes in individual boxes ready for guest to take home at the exits or at special tables. Use monogrammed boxes or include a personalized napkin. Save money by having a friend, a talented baker, make the cupcakes as her gift to you; she provides the labor and you provide the ingredients. Make them as colorful or as traditional as you like-even cover them with your initials or candy hearts.


Other Wedding Occasions

There are numerous parties, dinners and showers associated with weddings. From the engagement party to showers to the rehearsal dinner, there will be multiple occasions associated with your wedding that will have some type of food and refreshment. Consider one of these occasions as an opportunity to have a fun treat like wedding cupcakes as dessert instead of cake, cookies or brownies. These easy to carry finger foods, especially the mini-size, make eating and socializing easier. Allow the children to ice and decorate their own cupcakes; it will provide a simple and easy activity to keep bored children busy.

Whether you choose to make wedding cupcakes your main event or a nice accompaniment, there is not doubt that they are a versatile dessert worthy of your special occasion.
