Wedding Cupcakes: How to Choose the Best Cupcake for your Wedding
With the cupcake craze all around us, what constitutes the ideal cupcake on your wedding day? Is it presentation? Is it taste? Or is it merely adding a twist of your own to this trend? The following are five cupcake rules to abide by when choosing your ideal wedding cupcake…
Cupcake Frosting: Stay away from sweet and lean more towards butter. The perfect frosting combination will have an almost creamy rich butter flavor hidden within the sweet sugar.
Cupcake Moistness: If your wedding cupcake has a hint of dryness, stay away. You want this moist morsel to melt in your guests’ mouths. When tasting your potential wedding cupcakes, time it. If it’s gone within 20 seconds, you might have a winner.
Cupcake Flavor: Make sure your guests can recognize the flavors. Don’t go too crazy with mixing flavors. Instead, focus on popular cake flavors like red velvet, yellow cake, snickerdoodle and raspberry chocolate.

Cupcake Presentation: Individual boxes or cupcakes holders are popular for smaller weddings. If you have a midsize to large wedding, use an inexpensive cupcake tree stand or opt for the opulent décor and large stand. Check out the gallery pictures at Pink Cake Box. These wedding cupcakes and cupcake stands will help get your own cupcake ideas flowing.
Cupcake Ummm Meter: Make sure you take home samples and test the “Ummm Meter” on your friends and family. Things to listen for that indicates a good cupcake: “Omgs!,” “ohhhhummmm,” “You’ve got to be kidding me,” “mmmmmm…can I have another one?” Things to watch for that indicate a good cupake: Eyes closed and silent with lips smiling; Big eyes on first bite followed by one of the above mentioned sounds; and lastly, animal-like behavior.
Lastly, make sure you consult with your wedding consultant to tie it all together with your overall theme. Have fun!
