Four Ways To Display Anniversary Cupcakes
A great idea for a wedding anniversary reception is the
wedding cupcake. Many brides are choosing to use wedding
cupcakes instead of or in coordination with their
wedding cake. Anniversary couples can take advantage of
this trend and offer these mess free alternatives to
their guests.
Although wedding cupcakes are easy to make and eat,
couples sometimes find it difficult to display them for
an anniversary party or reception. These four display
ideas are guaranteed to make guests go back for seconds
or even thirds.
Tiered Display
One of the most beautiful ways a couple can display
their anniversary cupcakes is to use special cupcake
tiers. These tiers look a lot like metal bridges. Your
local baker or caterer can advise you on the best places
to look for these items. The anniversary cupcakes are
simply set onto the tiers to form something that looks
like a cupcake bridge. The finished product looks
beautiful and guests will love the visual effect.
Spell It Out
A fun way for couples to display anniversary cupcakes is
by spelling out words with them. Creating numbers, such
as the number 25 for a 25th anniversary, with the
cupcakes creates a wonderful table piece as well as a
yummy treat. The only condition with this display option
is that it usually takes up a lot of space. Couples with
limited table space may want to choose another display
option.
Mirrors
Many caterers will tell you that using mirrors in food
display is the fastest way to dress up a plain table.
Mirrors make food look larger and more expensive than it
actually is. To use mirrors in displaying anniversary
cupcakes, simply buy square shaped mirrors. It is
preferable to get the mirror without a frame, however
framed mirrors will work as well. Using mirrors that are
no larger than 15 inches x 15 inches are best.
After choosing the mirrors, simply lay them on your
table and turn them until they are diamond shaped. You
can play with the shapes, making each one different for
added flair. Then, set the anniversary cupcakes on the
mirrors, leaving an edge so the mirror is not completely
covered with cupcakes.
Appetizer Trays
Tiered appetizer trays are perfect and fast for
anniversary cupcake displays. Most of these items come
with three tiers. To use these, simply fill each tier
with cupcakes and arrange as desired.
Anniversary cupcakes are a great way to modernize an
anniversary celebration. Cupcakes allow couples to avoid
the mess of cutting and serving cake, and allow the
guests to enjoy the treats immediately. Finding the
right to display anniversary cupcakes should be simple as well. Use these four
ideas to get you started and enjoy your anniversary
sweets!
