An easy-on-the-pocket and scrumptious trend has emerged with wedding cakes -the cupcake wedding cake. Cupcake wedding cakes are increasingly becoming a magnificent substitute for multi-tiered wedding cakes. They do not only add a unique touch to a wonderful and enjoyable occasion, but guests also appreciate the convenience it presents with serving. It eliminates the need for time-consuming slicing, and guests are better able to enjoy their desserts just in time for the toast without any hassle.

A Sensible Option

With today’s high-cost weddings, it helps a lot when a special part of the occasion becomes quite an economical option. The wedding cake has always been one of the focal points during a wedding reception, and it used to be among the most expensive parts of the wedding as well. Today, with the popularity of cost-effective weddings, cupcake wedding cakes have become the most sensible alternatives.

Traditional wedding cakes nowadays cost about five to six dollars per serving, while cupcakes have a serving rate of as low as two dollars. Obviously, it greatly reduces wedding cake costs, on top of eliminating possible “service charge” for the always-needed “cake slicer” of traditional wedding cakes.

It’s a simple as directing the guests to your “cupcake tower” and watching them delight in the originality, as they choose the cupcake of their desire. Additionally, cupcake wedding cakes can be used as a centerpiece on every table, eliminating the costs for table centerpieces and increasing more convenience for guests as they beautifully and deliciously present a “ready-for-consumption” dessert.

A Variety Of Tastes

Although cupcake wedding cakes give more assistance with controlling costs, they also permit an assortment of flavors to be selected. The majority of decorators allow for up to five different flavor selections, as well as some may be enhanced with fillings. The most common flavors include orange, banana, French vanilla, orange, chocolate, carrot cake, and spice. All of these flavors may be filled with chocolate, cream cheese, lemon curd, or banana fillings.

These choices for flavors forward another advantage when it comes to varying tastes. Couples won’t need to worry about the different preferences of their guests. Moreover, the greater ratio of cake frostings is a bonus for guests and “sugar free” cupcakes can also be an option.

Unique Individuality

The selection of cupcake flavors will make the guests feel more special, and provide a more intimate connection for the event as they’re given with more individualized cake to delight in. With the attractive design of cupcake tiered wedding cake placed on a central location having a “towering feel”, the occasion gets an added intimate and special ambiance. Another option would be to individually place them on table for every guest, for a more “personal touch”; whatever the case, having an exceptional individuality adds brilliance to cupcake wedding cakes.

Some think that a cupcake wedding cake takes away the fun of wedding reception “traditions”, such as the cutting-of-the-cake and the usual “silver lining”. On the other hand, there is always a solution to these dilemma; couples often have cupcake wedding cakes for their guests, yet provide a small cake for the “bride cuts the cake” tradition, the singing, and the toasts. It still presents great savings rather than having the huge, multi-layered wedding cakes.

Despite traditional wedding cakes reaching new heights with designs, cupcake wedding cakes still gives more fun decorations and uniqueness. Cupcake wedding cakes provide several benefits as a wedding “must”. They also remain to be a fresh trend in wedding planning, as well as a great and cost-effective alternative. Just keep in mind that like any other wedding cake, a cupcake wedding cake will be a center of attention at the reception so make sure it is well-planned and well-designed.
