Wedding Cupcake Cake
Of all of the options for wedding cakes, wedding cupcake cakes have the potential to be among the most whimsical, but they can also be elegant if that is what the bride and groom prefer. A wedding cupcake cake is created with cupcakes that are arranged to form a “cake”.
Wedding cupcake cakes can be just as beautiful as more traditional wedding cakes, which is just one reason for their growth in popularity in recent years. But that is not the only thing that makes this a popular choice as an alternative to a traditional wedding cake.
Another reason is that, in some cases, a wedding cupcake cake can be much less expensive than other wedding cake options. Also, you are not limited to just a few flavors. If you like 10 cake flavors and 10 different frosting choices, you can include every one of them.
Also, wedding cupcake cakes are a perfect choice for brides who want to save money by making the cake themselves. They can simply frost and decorate each cupcake and then arrange them on a tiered tray. Far fewer skills are required than for baking a high quality traditional cake.
Wedding cupcake cakes are a perfect choice for an outdoor or beach wedding or for weddings that are going to have a stand up reception. The reason is obvious: cupcakes do not require servers or plates and forks. Guests can simply walk up to the cake and select the dessert they want.
Brides who select a wedding cupcake cake will find that there are many design options to choose from. Wedding cupcake cakes can be whimsical and fun or beautiful and elegant.
Some bakeries specialize in this type of wedding cake, but most any baker would be able to make one, even if he doesn’t already have one in his portfolio.
Some brides who want a more traditional cake, but like the ease of serving cupcakes can choose to meld the two ideas. To do this, the bride can order one small tier of traditional cake. Many couples then choose to keep this as their cake topper to be frozen and then eaten on their first anniversary. So the top tier of the cake is traditional cake and the rest of the tiers are cupcakes.
Many brides are surprised when they see just how beautiful a wedding cupcake cake can be. For brides having an outdoor wedding or standup reception and for brides who are trying to trim their budget, taking a look at this type of cake is a must.
You’ll be able to incorporate many of the elements of your dream cake, often at a reduced price. You won’t have to sacrifice quality or taste and, in fact, you open up the possibilities to include far more choices for your guests.
A wedding cupcake cake is a fairly new idea that is sure to continue to grow in popularity as more and more brides discover the benefits of including this type of cake rather than a more traditional cake.
