Cupcake wedding cake is a simple delight. Remember when you were a
child it was like finding a treasure in the palm of your hand. The
humble cupcake has now become an artful creation, suitable for any age
and occasion.
A wedding cupcake is not plain it is crowned with a delicious topping
(such as buttercreams, cream cheese frosting and fondant icing) and
often adorned with sugar confections of every shape and size.
You can almost use any cake recipe to make the cupcake. The cupcake can
be embellished in a seemingly endless range of color and flavors.
It is an individual wedding cake, that has been baked and decorated in
a deliberate manner to make it beautiful and taste as good as it looks.
The cupcake can also be used as a wedding favor which can be presented
in many lovely ways from organza bags, paper bags and small cake boxes
all matched to your wedding theme.
If you would like have the cutting of the cake ceremony, have a small
cake made which is decorated to match the cupcakes.
Save yourself some money by decorating your own wedding
cupcakes. For a video tutorial and detailed written instructions see
