Unique Wedding Cakes:
Try a Cupcake Cake

A newly engaged couple will have dozens of decisions to be made before the big day. Some of the legwork will be tedious and exhausting, while some of the chores are pleasant. One of the most fun tasks is to decide on a wedding cake. For your big day, why not try something completely original that most of your guests would never expect? Try a cupcake wedding cake.

Creative brides are working with forward thinking bakers to create a "cake" made entirely of cupcakes. The tried-and-true birthday party standbys have zoomed in popularity in recent years, and fun new creations are being made everyday for the bride and groom. A display made entirely of individual, mini-size cakes is extremely versatile and can accommodate any theme, style, and color of wedding. Among the advantages of the cupcake wedding cake is the fact that you can choose several different flavors of cake. Some of your fist-sized cakes can be healthy, low sugar, or low fat, while others are the most decadent chocolate imaginable. You and your betrothed don't enjoy the same flavor? No problem. Have a dozen carrot, two dozen chocolate, a smattering of custard filled, and the remainder traditional white cake. The combinations are endless. Also, you can order all the cupcakes frosted in the same color, or let your imagination run wild with each cupcake a different color.

Picture the latest wedding movie you've seen. Of course there's a sight gag somewhere in the movie where someone falls into the cake, or the baker, while delivering the cake, drops it. With a cupcake creation, this scenario is all but impossible. The baker can bring all the cupcakes to the venue and assemble them right where they'll be displayed.

Also, serving is simplified. You can still have your favorite auntie or your mom's best friend from college doing the honors of serving the tiny cakes with a set of tongs, but there won't be the messy cutting and wiping to deal with. The bride and groom are still able to feed each other the first bite of cake, and the photographer can still take a picture of the cupcake being sliced. A cupcake wedding cake offers all of the tradition, plus convenience and a bundle of fun.
