I’m doing cupcakes because of several factors, the most notable being that a wonderful, dear friend who is uber-talented has offered to make them as her wedding gift to us! We also like how we can offer little boxes, perhaps, and BINGO! wedding favor for those who want their cupcake (and can eat them too). Finally, well, they’re just darn cute. Come on! Who doesn’t like a great cupcake!

(For what it’s worth, I’ve never been to a wedding with cupcakes, so I don’t think they are out of style.)

I love seeing cupcakes at the wedding reception. In fact, I’ll immediately drop all my gear to run over to see them! I’m always amazed to such creativity and detail! I think having both a cake and cupcakes are the best. And of course, the kids truly love them!!

Best,

If you love cupcakes, it doesn’t matter if they are ‘in’ or ‘out’ – have them at your wedding. Cupcakes are ALWAYS hip in my books.

hooray for cupcakes!
i’m making vegan cupcakes with my sister for my wedding in may!(but not telling my guests they are vegan ) this way we can have a few different kinds….would be harder to make a few different kind of wedding cakes! i’m doing a pirate themed wedding so this way we can have piratey/tropical flavoured(rum, coffee, pineapple, coconut etc etc) cupcakes ..much easier then a big ole cake.

I must say I’m confused by the question? why or how would cupcakes be any more “played out” than a cake? Aren’t they just another dessert option? I’ve also seen wedding pies! But, aren’t cupcakes always awesome? I didn’t know that desserts were subject to trends.

I’ve been to many weddings and I’ve never been to one with cupcakes. I think they’re still a great option and definitely not over-done. Who can resist a cupcake? They’re the best!

Out but I still love them! Infinitely better than a wedding cake. Hmm maybe they are not a trend anymore just the norm??

Since I love cupcakes, and no matter what anyone says I will be having them at my wedding – what are some of the better ways to display/utilize them? Especially those that said “depends on the presentation”: what kind of presentation would make you say “Aww, cupcakes!” instead of “oh…cupcakes”?

I don’t think “played out” or not is really relevant. Every person has to decide what works best for them. We’re having an informal reception at my parents’ house, where trying to serve a massive cake would be hellish. Plus, we wanted to have several flavors of cake that don’t really go together. My friend is having a huge, elegant wedding with lots of serving staff to deal with the cake. I just think it’s cool that people are becoming more accepting of wedding desserts that are not A Huge White Cake that doesn’t even taste good. If a guest is coming to my wedding thinking, “Oh, God, she has cupcakes. How SO 5 years ago!” I’m pretty sure I don’t want them at my wedding.

I think that people who breath weddings year-round may have a little bit of a bias. I just went to my first cupcake wedding on Saturday, so to me they aren’t played out!
