Oh So Cute Cupcakes

If you’re looking for an alternative to a traditional white 3-tier cake with bride and groom perched high on top, why not consider going mini?

Cupcakes are a popular modern trend on the conventional wedding cake. Cupcake towers can make a beautiful centrepiece and focal point for your wedding with the cupcakes doubling as favours for your guests. Your friends and family will love the personalised touch.

There are endless opportunities for decorating your bite-sized cakes of goodness. Think colours, flavours, decorations, presentation and positioning. Get creative!

Flavours range from the traditional vanilla sponge, to lime and coconut, and white chocolate mud. Or better yet, mix and match your flavours to keep your guests guessing!

Cupcakes can be personalised with monogrammed hearts or motifs, or popular at the moment is having the Bride & Groom’s initials hand scripted onto each individual cupcake.

If you’re after a vibrant scent to capture your guests’ attention, why not top your cupcakes with seasonal berries or fresh flowers to match your bouquets.

If you’re looking for an original cake stand, ask Events by Design. We can source lots of beautiful stands in a variety of colours, shapes and sizes.  Think antique glass stands reminiscent of the Art Deco era, or perhaps a French Vintage ornate wire 3-tier cupcake stand. We also have a number of stands and glassware that can sit alongside your cupcake tower to hold other sweet treats, like lollies, fudge and home-made biscuits.

Your cupcake tower can really add to the style of your wedding, from a country- inspired wedding, with native fruit adorning each individual cupcake top, to a hen’s high tea party where each cupcake is iced with a different colour and patterned to complement your colour scheme.

The cupcakes shown in our photo were created by Lee Berryman from Cake Designs. Lee’s cake design experience spans 17 years at 5 star resorts and the famous London department store “Harrods.” You can visit Lee in person for a consultation or check out his website www.cakedesigns.com.au to view his testimonials and designs.

Happy Planning!
