Cupcakes vs. Wedding Cake?
When I was younger, it was fun to make cupcakes in my Easy Bake Oven. Cupcakes have become more popular now and replacing petit fours at parties. Special events include custom cupcakes. A bride ordered cupcakes for the children and the children’s table, and a wedding cake for the adults. In this way, the children would keep happy and out of of the way while the Bride and Groom had their ceremony. As one bride said, she doesn’t want to be upstaged by some toddler at her wedding destroying her wedding cake centerpiece. I have heard some horror stories with children and their attraction to cupcakes at a wedding. In order to avoid this....have cupcakes for the kids’ tables or only serve wedding cake. (Hiring a babysitting service has been a Godsend for many parents so they can relax and enjoy the wedding, too.)
Usually, cupcakes are ordered for showers, school classroom parties, and finger food buffets. I custom design cupcakes and they come in all the cake flavors and fillings, too. From mini cupcakes to regular size cupcakes to jumbo cupcakes and super large cupcakes, I color coordinate and theme coordinate the cupcakes to enhance your celebration...wedding, birthday, or any special event.
After 20 years of consulting with customers, I hear a lot of things. The last few years has been filled with comments about cupcakes at weddings. I compiled a list of the negative comments as we rarely hear about these. Please view the link on my website Cupcakes vs. Wedding Cake.
Remember, if cupcakes are your style, by all means order them and enjoy!
