Are you ready to pick your wedding cake? Since there are so many styles to choose from, coming up with the best one for you can be a difficult process. Choosing the type of filling is not the only thing to consider. If you want to try something fun and different than a traditional wedding cake, consider the new trend in wedding cakes made out of cupcakes. The use of cupcakes is not only chic and trendy but can be very cost effective as well.

There are many advantages to choosing cupcake wedding cakes instead of the traditional multi-tiered cake. Not only are they beautiful and can add an interesting theme, but they also tend to be less expensive. Transporting your wedding cake can be easier when using cupcakes, because they're individually wrapped making it easy to assemble at the reception hall instead of the bakery. Because they are wrapped individually the bride and groom don't have to worry about cutting the cake and the reception staff doesn't have to worry about slicing the cake. In fact the cake doesn't have to be served at all. Each guest can pick out his own cupcake and carry it back to their own table to enjoy.

The use of special shaped pans can be used to set your theme. They don't always have to be round. Suppose you want try something different like the shape of a star or a heart. Pans can come in all shapes and sizes. You can even think about using miniature cupcakes that can be served as finger food.

Think about the decorations that you want to place around the cup cakes. You can use flowers or silk fabrics that can create a nice flowing texture or fresh fruits can be used as toppings as well as decorations between each cup cake.

Experiment with color. When thinking about colors, you'll want to think about what color you want the cup cakes to be, but also the cake liners as well. If you shop on line you can come across some great silver and gold foil liners as well as the much desired pastels. If you desire to use the traditional colors blue and pink, you can serve the guests of the groom the blue ones and the guest of the bride the pink ones.

Another way to decorate your cup cakes is to make each one unique by adding a keepsake that can go home with each guest. Think about using a monogram or a miniature bride and groom.

If you plan on making your own wedding cake, you should know that it's possible and very practical to freeze each cupcake as long as you do it before you add the frosting. Just wrap them individually in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Place them in a resealable container such as Tupperware. Wrapped tight in this way, they will keep up to 2 months.
