Cupcake wedding cakes have suddenly rocketed in popularity and more and more brides are choosing to have this unusual type of wedding cake at their reception. Let’s take a closer look at the reasons why cup cakes have become so popular.

Firstly, cupcakes are very versatile. A traditional cake leaves you with a limited number of options. Flavors are restricted to one per layer and icing or frosting is usually of a single type. Cup cakes though, allow the bride to have one flavor, a couple, or many, so every guest is able to have a taste each, even those with different or restrictive dietary requirements. What’s more, each individual cake can be decorated differently with unusual toppings and frosting.

Some brides choose to have individually decorated paper cases too and decorate each cake with a wedding cake topper as a keepsake for her guests of the happy day. You can also make cakes of varying sizes – larger muffin types and smaller “fairy cake” sizes come to mind. Couples often have a giant cup cake on the top of the display as the one they use for the traditional “cutting of the cake.” Also, the individual cakes are easy to transport and can be made in advance, stored safely and then easily transported to the reception venue.

Secondly, a cupcake wedding cake is a real statement piece. Imagine looking at a beautiful arrangement of hundreds of cupcakes stacked on a tiered stand. The wedding cake would be a centerpiece on the day and a talking point amongst the guests for years to come.

Finally, many brides are watching their budgets these days and choosing a cup cakes can keep costs down. Cake recipes, even the more unusual types such as carrot cake, are easy to find, and being able to choose ingredients yourself can reduce the expense, especially as the bride and her friends or family could easily make and decorate the cakes themselves.
