Let Them Eat cake? No! Let Them Eat Wedding Cupcakes
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. 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.
Use Wedding Cupcakes Instead Of Wedding 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.
Cupcakes As Wedding 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.
Cupcakes For 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.
