Cup Cake Wedding Cakes
A relatively new trend is the leaving behind of traditional wedding cakes in favor of cup cake wedding cakes. These cakes can look very much like a tiered wedding cake. This is achieved by arranging the cup cakes in layers, which get gradually larger from top to bottom.
A cup cake wedding cake can be as elaborate or as simple as you wish. There are many benefits to choosing a cup cake wedding cake. Here are just a few.
Do It Yourself
A cup cake wedding cake is the PERFECT choice for a bride who plans to make her own wedding cake but who lacks a lot of baking experience. Because this type of cake is more about how the cup cakes are arranged, there is no need to worry about structural integrity and other elements like you would if you were trying to create a typical wedding cake.
Choice of Flavors
With a traditional wedding cake, brides are usually able to select two or three flavors. With cup cake wedding cakes, the sky is the limit! Brides are able to select as many flavors of cake and frosting as they want.
This makes it a lot easier when the bride has fallen in love with every cake she tried at her cake tasting.
Less Expensive
Because cup cakes are much easier to make, typically cup cake wedding cakes are much less expensive than a traditional wedding cake. This is good news to brides on a budget.
Easy to Transport
Anyone who has watched a television show about cake bakers has seen a wedding cake that has been dropped or otherwise damaged on the way to the wedding. While this only happens a small percentage of the time, the danger can be virtually eliminated by choosing a cup cake wedding cake.
Because this type of cake usually needs to be arranged on site, there is no danger of damage during the ride from the bakery to the venue.
Easy to Serve
For obvious reason, cup cake wedding cakes are very easy to serve. Whether waitresses will be serving guests, or guest serving themselves, this type of cake makes the process a lot easier.
Cup cake wedding cakes can be arranged in many styles and they can still be decorated in many of the same ways as a more traditional cake. Some brides choose a cake that is a combination of traditional cake and cupcakes.
For example, you could order one small tier of cake. This would serve as the cake top on which your decorative cake topper would sit. This would also be the part of the cake that you saved to eat on your first anniversary.
The rest of the tiers of the cake would be cup cakes.
Most bakers now have cup cake wedding cakes in their portfolio. Even if they do not, any baker would be able to make this type of cake for you.
Whether you do it yourself, or have one made by a baker, cup cake wedding cakes are a fun and less expensive alternative to traditional wedding
cakes.
