Miss 12K,

Are you planning on DIY your cupcakes? If you are engaging a pro baker I think they will do what they need to do to me sure that the cake will taste fabulous. Also I have eaten many a dry wedding cake in my lifetime. I don’t think cakes are not immune to tasting bad. I think cupcakes are a great idea. Good luck.

I love the simplicity of the cupcakes in the second group. Sweet and beautiful, and they look delicious!

we considered doing cupcakes as well, but a couple things that dissuaded us:

if your guest list isn’t set in stone, you’re screwed. cupcakes are not ’stretchable’ but cake is.

cupcakes tend to dry out a lot faster than cake – cake frosting seals the moisture in while cupcakes are only frosted on top, thus…dry.

transport and staging is incredibly difficult for cupcakes – especially for a large wedding. think about where they are going to get made, stored, and how they’ll get set up. a cake can be moved fairly easily but cupcakes are pretty much one at a time unless you want to topple your tower.

also, everything is compounded if you choose to artfully decorate your cupcakes – think of how much trouble it would be to get 200 fancy, fragile cupcakes to the reception site still looking great and tasting fresh…

just sayin’…we’re going with cake.

Just be careful!! We did cupcakes at our wedding, they were beautiful and tasty, but guests got the wrong idea and started taking them before we ever got to the cake table to see the final presentation and to feed each other the first ones!!

I’m also having a cupcake tree at my wedding! I agree that the really fluffy looking frosting looks like poop! The lady that is doing ours gave us this website http://www.cupcaketree.com/photos.html and I personally like image 22 of 36 best! It is similar to a design you could have a cake! Of the ones you picked, I like the ones with the satin ribbon and flowers. That looks really cute! Good luck!

Mmm…cupcakes! I find the simple ones the most charming. The ones with the simple band of satin ribbon or the one with the little message on a toothpick. Very cute!
