Cupcake wedding cakes are the hottest new wedding cake trend as more and more couples are choosing to have this unusual type of wedding cake at their event. Let's take a closer look at the reasons why cupcake wedding cakes have become so popular.
Firstly, cup cakes give you lots of options. A traditional wedding cake design leaves you with a limited number of options. Flavors are usually kept to one each layer and icing is normally of a single type. Cup cakes though, allow the bride to have one flavor, a couple, or many, so every guest is able to have a taste of the wedding cake, even those with different dietary requirements. What's more, each single cake can be decorated to be different to the other with unusual toppings and frosting.
Here are some more cupcake wedding cake ideas:
Some brides choose to have individually decorated paper cases as well. These are often inscribed with the couples names or initials or the wedding date. Sometimes a bride chooses to decorate each cake with a wedding cake topper as a keepsake for her guests of the happy day.
Couples often have a giant cup cake on the top of the display as the one they use for the traditional "cutting of the cake." You can also make cakes of varying sizes - larger muffin types and smaller "fairy cake" sizes come to mind. Also, the individual cup cakes are easy to transport and can be made before the event, stored safely and then easily transported to the reception venue.
Secondly, having a cupcake wedding cake is making a real statement. Imagine looking at a beautiful arrangement of hundreds of cupcakes stacked on a tiered stand. The wedding cake would be a centerpiece on the day and a talking point amongst the guests for years to come.
Finally, many brides are watching their budgets these days and picking a cupcake wedding cake can be a wise choice. Cake recipes, even the more unusual types such as spice cake, are easy to find, and being able to choose ingredients yourself can reduce the expense, especially as the bride and her friends or family could easily make and decorate the cakes themselves.
