Over the years, there has been a slow, subtle switch from serving cake at weddings to providing people with cupcakes or cupcake pops. Future brides-to-be are now faced with making the difficult choice of serving either cake or cupcakes at their wedding reception.
In an effort to make things easier as you plan for your big day, we have taken a closer look at the cake vs. cupcake situation. If you are debating between the two desserts, here is a look at some things you should think about before committing to one or the other.
Portion Control Options
One of the biggest reasons why people choose to have cupcakes over cake is because it allows guests to control their portion sizes. Each guest gets one, or even two, cupcakes. This portion size is ideal for anyone who needs to watch carbs, is on a diet, or even has medical issues that may prevent them from being too much sugar.
When cake is served, it can be tempting to want to take a bigger slice or one that has lots of icing. Serving cupcakes takes this temptation away from the guests at the wedding.
The Ability to Incorporate the Dessert as Part of the Decor
Brides-to-be are often concerned with how cupcakes will be incorporated into the overall decor of the wedding reception. Will the cupcakes all be lined up and guests just pick them up? What happens in regards to space? These concerns often swayed the future brides-to-be to pick cakes over cupcakes, but now each option is on equal footing.
Wholesale Wedding Superstore has a wide variety of wedding accessories and wedding decorations that allow your cupcakes or cakes to be elegantly displayed. A great example is the multi-tiered metal cupcake stand. This wedding accessory creates the image of a tiered cake, but instead of having slabs of cake, it uses multiple cupcakes. It is a great and unique way to display cupcakes.
Those that prefer to have a cake can also include it in the wedding decor. Wholesale Wedding Superstore has a number of cake stands and plateaus that are absolutely gorgeous for the big day.
Multiple Options for Cake Flavours
Before the big day, brides and grooms will often disagree on what flavour cake to have at the big event. One might enjoy having chocolate cake, while the other prefers red velvet. A compromise would have been to have two smaller cakes, but cupcakes can provide the same alternative.
Cupcakes are ideal for couples that wish to provide a number of flavour options for guests. They can typically be ordered in multiple flavours, which means that every guest will get to have a dessert they enjoy and not have to settle for something they do not like.
The truth is there is no real winner when it comes to cakes vs. cupcakes. Both are tasty and delicious and no matter what one you choose to serve at your wedding, your guests will be sure to enjoy it!
