Couture Cupcakes

All you Sex and the City fans would remember the infamous Magnolia Bakery where Carrie and Miranda discovered the most sought after cupcakes in all of New York City. Something tells me if these were just regular sized, run-of the mill bakery cakes that they just wouldn’t cut it… Taking away the chic novelty factor proves that a cupcake is more than just a sweet treat… It’s a fashion statement.

Cupcakes are becoming more and more fashionable these days as an alternative to the traditional tiered wedding cake. Some may see them as downgrading from what is deemed a ‘proper’ wedding cake but I think the contrary. Chosing to serve cupcakes at your wedding reception effortlessly reveals your inner chic-ness.

A cupcakes versatility means you can still rely on the traditional icing methods and create the wedding cake you dream of, only in miniature form. A simple Chocolate Butter Cream swirl might be just enough to tempt those taste buds and reveal your stress-free and trendy sense of style. Or perhaps you prefer to have each cake individually iced and decorated with Fondant and sugar flowers to showcase your tasteful and attention to detail bridal style.

Miniature cakes are  not only a great fashion statement but can be a frugal and creative way to ‘double-up’ when it comes to guest favours. If you chose to serve a dessert after dinner then simply allow guests to take a miniature cake all of their own home to savour later. I’m sure you’ll agree it works a treat. ♥
