Why are they so popular? Well some people just like the look of them - I mean 100 or more cupcakes all decorated the same way lined up on an elegant stand with a coordinating top cutting cake can look quite impressive. The other reasons are: they are cute, portable, single serving cakes that can be customized to suit any wedding theme - and who doesn't like to eat a cupcake??
This past Saturday I had 2 wedding cupcake towers at 2 different venues - and it was pouring rain - I mean pouring! That kind of rain doesn't help much when you are transporting multiple boxes of cupcakes, a boxed top tier, a stand, extra decor, etc....
The first tower was for Cynthia & Steve's black & white wedding at Deer Creek. To keep the entire display in their colour scheme, they went with Midnight Chocolate cupcakes with Vanilla buttercream swirls in white cupcake liners. Each cupcake was decorated with 3 tiny black flowers with white centres. The top cutting tier was iced in vanilla buttercream and decorated with an edible grosgrain bow and ribbon and more black & white flowers.
The second tower that day was for Shantell & David's "colour purple" wedding at Tosca Banquet Hall. Their room decor was gorgeous! From the linens to the flowers to the lighting, nothing was left out. They chose Pink Lemonade cupcakes each decorated with a either a lavender or eggplant sugar hydrangea. The top cutting tier was iced in buttercream and then decorated in a romantic fashion with hand piped buttercream flowers in shades of purple and a pair of sugar butterflies.
