Wedding cupcakes have become a popular choice for couples these days. Not only are they far more affordable than the traditional wedding cake but they’re also convenient to serve to guests. You can save extra expenses on the wedding cake itself as well as the cake cutting fee (usually $1 per slice!).

The cupcakes are usually displayed on a beautiful cupcake tree and decorated to match your wedding theme and colors. Something to bear in mind when decorating your cupcakes…don’t get too carried away. Wedding cupcakes can be as expensive as traditional wedding cakes when the decorations become too elaborate.

If you are on the traditional side and you want to have a cake to cut into with your groom, you can still have cupcakes…just add a miniature cake on the top tier (like the one pictured here). You’ll still be saving a considerable amount of money while keeping with tradition.
