Cupcake Wedding Cakes - Are They Cheaper?Cupcake wedding cakes are often described as being cheaper than a traditonal wedding cake but with all of the individual decoration needed for each cake they are often the same price. The biggest saving that you can make by having cupcakes is that your venue won't be able to charge you a cake cutting fee - this has to be one of the most rediculous wedding costs ever! And thank goodness there is a way round it! Worth checking with your venue that they won't be charging you for this.
If you went to a wedding cake maker for your cupcakes then you will end up paying the same amount as you would do for your traditional wedding cake. Wedding cakes are costed by the slice and you are looking at a few dollars per slice and a similar cost for a cupcake. The cost is not just about the cake, that is a fraction of the overall cost, you are paying for co-ordinated cupcake cases and the professional decoration. You can save yourself lots of money if you look at making your cupcake wedding cakes yourself or buy your cupcakes plain from a local baker or supermarket. The ones from the supermarket may be too small for your display but you can always mix them together with those that you have made yourself. 
To decorate your cupcakes keeping it simple is best; a swirl of frosting with some coordinated sprinkles looks stunning when you have a lot of cupcakes together. Other ideas are fondant icing with a sugared rose petal on top, mini flags made from toothpicks and wrapping paper in your colors, and you can also use the fondant to make your mini cake topper.
Choosing cupcakes is not just a matter of cost, they look cute and fun, but can also be sophisticated and classy and if you are not a traditional type of bride then this is a great way to have your cake the way you want it. If you don't want to miss out on cutting the cake you can also have a traditional cake layer on the top and most couples choose this option. More Cheap Wedding Cake Ideas
