As I’ve already mentioned, they’re unique, they’re fun, they’re easy, and their considerably cheaper.  Even with all that, you’re going to be thrilled with how much you can do with a cupcake wedding cake.  These types of cakes can be transported easily and put together at the reception hall.  You can even make the individual cupcakes while in advance, wrap them with plastic wrap and aluminum foil and store them in a resealable container in freezer until the big day.

These types of cakes are also a lot easier to serve during your reception.  There’s no cutting of the cake by the bride and groom (unless you want) and the reception staff does not have to cut the cake for each individual guest.  As a matter of fact, you could leave it to the guest to come up to the tiers and take whatever cupcake they want, back to the table.

If you’re thinking of a cupcake wedding cakes stop thinking round.  Cupcake pans come in many different shapes including squares, stars and hearts.  Some have even chosen to go with mini cupcakes which provide a bite-size desert and can go even further in helping your budget. Maybe you want a combination of both regular and mini size cupcakes.

When you go with a cupcake wedding cake you allow yourself a lot of options.  You can serve four or five different flavors of cake and an equally diverse selection of frostings.  Just make sure you keep everything along the same color scheme and theme.

Once you’ve got your cupcakes sorted out and you know exactly what color you’re going to go with, you can start to think about what you can put between each cupcake.  Some choose to go with fresh flowers or fruit and others may want to run silk fabrics flowing between each one.  It’s important to experiment with each individual idea.  Head over to your local craft store and start looking at items that could be run between each cupcake or even a group of cupcakes.

You’re also going to want to think about cake toppers.  With traditional wedding cakes there is usually just one cake topper but, with cupcakes each one has its own topper.  Obviously, these are going to be a miniature variety.  This also gives you an opportunity to provide your guests with some sort of keepsake to help them to remember your wedding.

As you can see, cupcake wedding cakes are a wonderful alternative.  Hopefully understand why I get so excited about this idea.  Get creative and try different things.  This is your wedding day and you want it to reflect who you are in every area, including your wedding cake.

When you think of elegant wedding cakes you need to think of how everything else is made elegant.  What is it that makes your dress elegant?  Most likely you’re looking at the finest softest textures available.  What is it that makes you look elegant?  How your hair flows, how your dress hangs, the jewelry you’re wearing, all of these items work together to make you look as elegant as possible.  The same holds true for your wedding cake.

If you really want to leave a strong impression with the people at your wedding, you’re going to have to really go out of your way to make it look excellent.  Remember, most of the people at your wedding have seen elegant cakes on TV time and time again.  That’s who you’re competing with when you’re looking to create an elegant wedding cake.  Of course seeing a cake in person is always going to be much more impressive so you do have that going for you.

Remember, an elegant wedding cake isn’t just about how it looks; it’s about how it tastes as well.  Make sure you’re not cutting corners when it comes to preparing the actual cake.  Use the finest ingredients available and make sure that the cake chef is well aware of the fact that you not only want this to look good you want it to taste incredible.

Let’s take a look at the pedestals.  Depending on what look you’re going for, you may want to use gold or silver pedestals.  You may even want to go with the platinum pedestal, depending on the feel of the actual cake.  Remember, metals are going to be dramatic and need to match a dramatic looking cake.  If you’re looking to go with something a little softer or lighter, think about using leaded crystal.

Once you have the pedestal or tiers figure it out the next step would be to accent the cake with accessories that match that feel.  Beautiful metallic or crystal beads can be placed along the edges of the tiers or even the edge of the cake as long as they were moved before you eat.  Beautiful beaded cake toppers are also a great option.

If you’re going for a metallic yet elegant look consider using gold powder or even gold flakes.  Believe it or not gold is edible.  A cake dusted lightly with gold powder gives off an amazing shimmer that people will remember.  Gold foil can be used to accent different portions of the cake as well and is edible too.

When designing elegant wedding cakes never use anything imitation which could detract from the beauty of the cake.  It’s got to be the real deal if it’s going to look elegant.  Real gold, real silk, real leaded crystal, even real diamonds if you choose to go that route.  Elegant says “I’m sparing no expense” and you better be hold true to that.
