Are cupcakes a do or don’t at your wedding? Well, break the rules… have fun… go for it! Cupcakes are a great alternative to the traditional wedding cake. Why? Because you can have a variety of cupcake flavors, they can be arranged beautifully on a tower, you can save money, and your guests will love it!
There are many advantages to serving cupcakes at your special event:
It’s trendy… The cupcake trend is still going strong, and it’s definitely the “it” thing for weddings. If you like keeping up with the trend, then cupcakes at your reception are a must. Even celebrities are serving cupcakes at their receptions, and you see them all the time on popular television shows. It’s a trend that’s not going anywhere anytime soon.
Flavors…With a wedding cake, you are limited to a few flavors. With cupcakes you can offer your guests a wide variety to choose from. And what if the bride likes one flavor and the groom likes another? Cupcakes eliminate which one wins the fight. Each can have their very own special cupcake, and it can be placed in a cupcake cuddler that is dressed like a bride and groom that will top off the display.
Design…While cupcakes are individual little cakes, it doesn’t mean they can’t look just as beautiful as a wedding cake. You can design each cupcake with your colors, decorate with flowers or monogrammed hearts, and you can arrange them beautifully on tiers that take on the appearance of a more traditional wedding cake.
Cost Savings…The average cost of a cupcake is around $3. The cost of a wedding cake can range anywhere from $4 to $10 per person. In addition to this cost, venues charge a cutting fee for cakes, which can get pretty pricey. And although they will most likely charge you to serve the cupcakes also, the cost is much less. So you’re not only saving on the cost of the cake, you’re also saving on the cutting/serving cost. And think about the leftovers. There is usually a lot of cake sitting around on tables at the end of the reception, but I guarantee there will be very few cupcakes left. You can be more accurate in the number you order; and if your guests don’t eat them, they will most likely want to take one (or two) home.
