Wedding cupcakes are the most fashionable alternatives to the traditional tiered wedding cake.
Designed to eat at the reception or guest can take them home.
Well-decorated cupcakes can serve as stand-alone decor!
Cupcakes are a great option to 'cut' costs (unless you get fancy with sugar flowers and other time intensive details). Cupcakes are generally cheaper than a traditional cake. I say generally because some bakeries charge almost per serving as a cake. Why? Well it takes almost the same amount of labor to produce large number of cupcake vs. a cake. So labor cost can come into play. Especially if you choose a very ornate designs.
Great for DYI Brides. You can order 200 cupcakes from your local grocery store (or box discount stores) for under $150.00. Make your on little personalized toothpick flags for each cupcake. Special note I don't recommend that brides stay up all night before their wedding making, frosting and embleshing . Buy cupcakes and have them delivered. It is easier to get a friend or a relative to put the cakes on a cupcake tree than to ask them to frost 200 cupcakes.

No cake cutting or serving fees.

Most brides still have a 10 inch cutting cake. So take a deep breath the fun of feeding your new spouse will not be lost.

You also have the option of choosing more flavors than you would with a traditional cake where you are limited to 2-4 flavor options.

FAQ

But what if you have hundreds of guests at your wedding? How pin the world will you serve the cupcakes to them? Wedding cupcakes are normally placed on tiered stands but you’ll need at least several of them, perhaps one on each table, and it kind of destroys the idea of the wedding cake as the center of the ceremonies.

If you’re a creative, do-it-yourself bride, you might want to forget the cupcake stand and place hundreds of cupcakes on a large cupcake tree instead! Not only is it a beautiful way to present all those wedding cupcakes; it also makes a fabulous centerpiece. The wedding cupcake tree pictured above is about six feet tall, 40 inches in diameter. Each layer is made out of half-inch, medium density fiberboard with rounded edges painted white. The whole structure rests on a Christmas tree stand and is held up by a curtain rod through holes made in the center of each layer.

Six feet of cupcake-y goodness! That definitely beats your average wedding cake. I wonder though, where would you put the cupcake tree afterwards?
