Congratulations on your new site. All the best. God Bless! Are cupcakes really a good alternative to a wedding cake? Maybe! It stays a matter of preference. Most people prefer to have the traditional wedding cake for their special day; however wedding cupcakes are very in at the moment. Cupcake wedding cakes are used, instead of a regular wedding cake. Sometimes a separate cake is used for photos while the cupcakes are served to the guests. However in a true cupcake wedding cake tower there’s usually at least one small cake tier on the top of the tower that is used for the cutting of the cake. Wedding cupcakes can range from your basic chocolate or vanilla sponge to gourmet choices. In fact, you can mix and match colours, designs and flavours to create a medley of wedding cupcakes to please every guests taste. Some people do think that wedding cupcakes are more suited for your casual, informal wedding whilst your tiered cakes are more traditional and formal. A cupcake tower can be as classy as a tiered wedding cake and a tiered cake can be as fun and magical as a cupcake. I guess the cost is what it comes down to! Yes, cupcakes may be a cheaper choice than a tiered cake, but again it is all about your choice of style and decorations. These are my views and the possibilities are limitless. It all comes down to choice. Every cupcake tower or wedding cake should be as unique as the bride and groom themselves. www.houseofbakes.co.za
