Colorful, Creative Cupcakes: A Wedding Cake Alternative for Today’s Modern Bride
For today’s modern bride, nothing is off limits. It seems now, more than ever, that trend has begun to play just as big of a role as tradition in today’s wedding planning. In Martha Stewart Weddings2009 summer issue, there is an article appropriately titled, “Let them eat Cupcakes,” which reveals how cupcakes can make a divine substitute for a wedding day favorite. These ooey, gooey delights are stacking up the competition and leaving all spectators in a state of satisfaction.
While cake is the traditional standby, most newlyweds and their guests look foward to indulging at the reception, cupcakes are proving to be just as tasty and beautiful as their more popular counterparts. They can be dipped, dolloped, shellacked, sprinkled and stacked any way a bride sees fit. Whether a couple is going for over the top or under the radar, cupcakes can give one incredible presentation at any wedding reception celebration. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding.
Since each cupcake is its own individual part, brides and grooms don’t have to be limited by flavor or design. They can easily provide a smorgasbord of vanilla, chocolate, caramel swirl, strawberry surprise and every taste in between without worry. There is everything from cupcake towers that could humble even the most ornate cakes to customized creations that are as simples as they are sweet.
Already cut and all ready to serve, wedding cupcakes also make a great do-it-yourself project for the more hands on bride. Not to mention, their “aww” factor is off the charts! There’s just something about mini versions of anything that makes people go gaga. And although they may be miniature in size, they are still powerful in taste, making these one-of-kind mini cakes a catchy trend in 2009.
