Wedding Cupcakes or a Multi Tiered Cake – Here’s How To Choose
Wedding Cupcakes or a Multi Tiered Cake – Here’s How To Choose
Your big day is coming and its time to make a decision about your wedding cake. Will you go with the traditional multi tiered wedding cake or will you toss tradition to the wind and order wedding cupcakes for you and your entire party? Here are a few things to consider when making the perfect choice.
1. Why Would You Want Cupcakes?
Ask yourself, do you like the overall look of cupcakes better than a tiered cake? Are you simply hoping to save money? Who is making the cake?
While wedding cupcakes were originally touted as a great way to save money, they are time consuming and in todays market rarely save a great deal of cash.
Cupcakes can however, be a great option if you are having a friend or inexperienced baker make your cake. Wedding cupcakes can be a simplier and more scaleable task for a friend to take on rather than figuring out how to build a tower of cake.
2. Consider Your Choices:
Cupcakes can be dressed up in a variety of manners. Consider colored muffin liners, laser cut wraps, fresh flowers and create towers for a unique presentation.
A wedding cake can also be displayed as individual tiers on a layered cake stand. This saves time and money if you are having a friend or a grocery store work within a tight budget.
3. Ease of Serving:
Wedding cupcakes are quick and easy to serve. Traditional cakes require someone who knows how to cut and can follow a pattern. A slice of wedding cake can average £5 per piece so it is important to get as many pieces as possible out of each and every cake. Wedding cupcakes make portion control quick and easy.
4. Overall Theme:
If your overall wedding theme is formal than a Bridal Cake may be your very best option. If you wedding is casual or whimsical then wedding cupcakes can be a great way to say “let’s have some fun.” Your dress sets the tone for the event. Take a look at your gown and the plans for the big day. Which cake will fit your theme?
5. The Help:
Who ya gonna call? Having a good set of hands on your big day will be important. If you are short handed serving cupcakes is the way to go. Guests can help themselves to cupcakes once they are invited to the table. This saves the labor of at least two people. (one to cut the cake and one to serve it) It can also save you the mess of frosting everywhere as you take apart the cake.

Last but not least consider opting for both! A layerered or tiered cake can be surrounded by wedding cupcakes ready for guests. This allows you to take photos “cutting the cake” and at the same time provides an ease of serving guests.
No matter what you decide, taste is the key. Find the option that tastes great and stays within your budget and you will succeed!
