Cupcakes are a great wedding dessert alternative to classic wedding cake, and if you fancy yourself a baker, they aren't too hard to make yourself.
The new (and persistent) trend in wedding confection is wedding cupcakes, and it’s no big mystery as to why. Wedding cupcakes offers a cuter and easier option for the couple who aren’t interested in the hassle of a full-size cake, and they are just so darn adorable. The work as dessert, they work as favors, and wedding cupcakes can be styled to fit the look and feel of your wedding for a fraction of the price. Plus, with wedding cupcakes, you don’t have to skip all the fun accessories!
Many brides opt for wedding cupcakes simply because they can be made at home (or by an experienced friend). If you chose to use a professional bakery for your wedding cupcakes, you can still save by making them unique to your wedding all on your own. Personalize wedding cupcakes with wrappers (not the birthday party wrappers of old, but posh, clean, stylish wrappers) and display cases such as miniature bell jars. With the right accessories, all wedding cupcakes fit in at every style of modern wedding.
Stack your wedding cupcakes up in a tower or place them gingerly at every place setting – with the right accessories, there’s no way to go wrong with wedding cupcakes.
For the on-a-budget bride, nothing saves the day quite like a DIY project. Not only do expensive extras become a whole lot less expensive, they can also become a fun day of crafting (and bonding if you bring a few friends!).
Step 1: Use your chosen cake or cup-cake recipe. Take a cupcake pan for gently pouring the batter. If the pan is lined with paper cups, you will experience ease in removing.
Step 2: Bake and freeze the same - flat on a cardboard or plate. Instead of baking, you may buy it from a store. Based on your choice, you may buy or bake a traditional cake for the purpose of placing on the top tier. Allow it to cool, and place on a round cardboard. Now put it into the freezer.
Step 3: Bring out the frozen cupcakes as well as the traditional cake just a week or so before the all important wedding day.
Step 4: You may now opt to decorate the tiers the way you desire. This will allow you to use your creativity to impress the guests.
Step 5: Buy or make the toppings. Add the same to the cupcakes as well as the traditional cake. Now, freeze for one more time.
