Cup Cake Wedding CakesCup cake wedding cakes can look stunning but they have been a hot trend for a number of years, so as with most things to do with weddings they are not cheap. Well, they are not cheap if you pay a cake maker to make them, if you make them yourself you can save a fortune and have a great looking cheap wedding cake.Making cup cakes or fairy cakes is fairly easy, we probably all had a go when we were children, so rather than listing ingredients, go and find your old recipe books and find your favorite. You can choose any number of flavors; chocolate, raspberry, lemon, vanilla, etc as each cake is individual. Have a taste test with friends and family as to which are the best.
The easiest and best looking way to decorate your cup cakes is to use frosting and then you can use many shop bought decorations to add an extra touch of glamour to your cup cake wedding cakes. Have a look at candy stores as well as cake decorating stores, there are lots of very cute kiddies candies that would be perfect to add to the top. For a more sophisticated look to your cup cakes you could have your monogram cut from fondant icing, you wouldn't have to decorate every cake that way, maybe just a few on each layer. Or sugar petals also look very glamorous. The best looking wedding cakes are those that are coordinated and you can do this with the decorations and also with the cup cake cases. The cases don't all have to be the same it is the overall look that you want to get right, you can alternate the different colors when you come to display the cakes on the day. 
How you are going to display your cup cakes is what is going to give the wow factor to your guests. You can buy and also hire cup cake stands from most bakers or for a vintage look to your cupcakes have a look at thrift stores or ask your family if they have a cake stand that you can borrow. As you can see from this photo by CleverCupcakes you don't even have to have a 'proper cake stand'! If you use smaller cake stands you could have one for each table and then it acts as your table centerpieces as well, a double saving! Some brides also have their cup cakes double as their place cards with a little name flag in each cake.Have fun with your cup cake wedding cakes, looking forward to seeing your piccys soon!
