Save Money with a Cup Cake Wedding Cake
The wedding cake can be one of the most expensive “small” details of your wedding, but it does not have to be that way. There are plenty of tips and tricks that can help you save money on your cake.
One of those is by selecting a cup cake wedding cake. A cup cake wedding cake is made up of cup cakes that are arranged in tiers to resemble a wedding cake. So, are they much cheaper than a traditional wedding cake? They have the potential to be!
Do It Yourself
The way to save the most money on your cup cake wedding cake is by making the cup cakes yourself. Unlike a wedding cake, no special skills are needed. Just bake as many cupcakes as you’ll need and then arrange them on the tiers.
You will be able to find the tiers at any baking supplies store. Then you just set it up and place the cupcakes on each tier. It could not be any simpler.
Of course, some people will want cake – or in this case cup cakes – that taste phenomenal. Here is an option for you.
Professional Baker
Hire your favorite baker to make the cupcakes. Then, pick them up and arrange them onto the tiers yourself. This is going to cost MUCH less than a wedding cake, and there are other benefits as well.
For one, you’ll be able to select several flavors of cup cakes and frosting. With a traditional wedding cake, you are usually limited to two to three.
Also, serving is, obviously, going to be much easier. In fact, some brides just allow the guests to walk up and take a cup cake when the time comes rather than having someone serve it.
Another benefit to a cup cake wedding cake is that it can be replenished throughout the night. As the cup cakes disappear, someone can be tasked with replacing them. For brides whose cake table served as one of the centerpieces of the reception, this could be very good news.
Even if you do not like the idea of having a cup cake wedding cake for the actual wedding, they are a great idea for use at the rehearsal dinner or shower.
Because they are so simple and relatively inexpensive, they work very well at the rehearsal dinner. You can have a cup cake wedding cake that is in the same colors as the wedding cake.
One clever bride knew that there were going to be several children at her reception. She was very worried that someone was going to dig into her wedding cake when no one was looking.
She set up a children’s area in the reception, complete with a many tiered cup cake wedding cake. The kids could pick and nibble to their hearts content, and her wedding cake was left alone.
Whatever your reason for choosing a cup cake wedding cake, know that this option is as beautiful and it is practical.
