Cupcake Stands For Weddings - The Latest Trend

A new concept which is gaining rapidly in popularity is to have decorated cupcakesinstead of the traditional large cakes at weddings. For as long as anyone can remember wedding cakes have been large heavy fruit cakes covered in white icing and set out in tiers. However these traditional cakes now have a serious rival as an increasing number of couples are deciding to have a wedding cupcake stand instead.

The traditional white tiered wedding cake is undoubtedly beautiful and elegant and will always be very popular. However a display of smaller cakes on a wedding cupcake stand can also look amazing when properly done.

Choosing Cupcake Stands

There is no shortage of cupcake stands to choose from for your wedding. Whether your day is going to be something small and intimate or a large formal function you will have no problem finding something just right.

For the ultimate in elegance the Wilton tall cake stand pictured below is hard to beat. With six tiers this makes an outstanding display. The top tier can be used for a larger cake. This is a very popular cake stand and has attracted a lot of good reviews from buyers at Amazon.

The Advantages of Cupcake Stands For Weddings

There are some ways in which a display of cupcakes can be a better option than a traditional wedding cake, for example -

• not everyone likes a heavy fruit cake but the majority of people do like cupcakes

• you can make your cupcake display unique to you as there is almost limitless scope for your own designs and color schemes

• its is easier for everyone to help themselves to the cupcake of their choice than to cut up a large cake and dish it out to people

• you can have different colors and flavors to add variety

• if you are having a significant number of children at your wedding cupcakes may be better as generally speaking children will be more likely to eat them than fruit cake
