In many wedding receptions today the traditional wedding cake is being replaced by wedding cupcakes. Brides are making the choice of cupcakes for a variety reasons. Wedding cupcakes are less expensive and easier to serve the guests and also allow for more flavors to be offered. Cupcakes are easier to transport and can be arranged in a traditional tower style or an arrangement that becomes unique to the Bride.
My little granddaughter, Isabel, recently attended a bride as the flower girl. The bride is a good friend of my daughter and as the wedding was planned over the last year, I would hear about the details. When my daughter shared that the bride was having cupcakes at the reception instead of a cake, I envisioned a boring display of cupcakes sitting flatly on the table. I had no idea that brides and their wedding planners were getting so creative with wedding cupcakes for the reception.
Last week, I found an article aptly titled Wedding Cupcake Creations that gives some gorgeous examples of the use of cupcakes at the reception instead of the traditional tower style wedding cake. Author, michelledurakis, shares supplies that can be used for display and choices of cupcake papers. She explains different reasons that brides are making the choice of cupcakes and even gives suggestions on ways to decorate wedding cupcakes. Her presentation is deliciously executed with a taste of whimsy sprinkled throughout. If you are a bride planning a wedding or the mother of the bride, Wedding Cupcake Creations might spark your interest and give you some unique ideas. You do not have to be planning a wedding, however; to enjoy this delectable article.
Cupcakes have come a long way from just being a treat at a kid's birthday party or as a treat for a child's classroom. They are now being served at elegant affairs like weddings. After having seen these lovely displays, I kind of want to have an elegant party just so I can serve some pretty cupcakes!

ReplyDelete... delicious execution of a delectable article. I love it! I'm not a big cupcake fan but those gorgeous photos made me want one.
ReplyDeleteGreat review, Bev! You found a truly great page about wedding cupcakes. I could eat them all, being a cake lover. Yep, I love cake even more than chocolate. Didn't know one could actually use cupcakes at a wedding reception, but michelldurakis proved that it can be done very well.
ReplyDeleteFabulous idea and excellent find Bev. Including cupcakes in your wedding cake design sure makes it easier when it comes time to serve. The designs on this article are stunning!

I LOVE the idea of cupcakes for weddings -- everyone gets their own little work of art. What a pretty presentation of wedding cupcakes from Michelle, and full of helpful tips too.
