Cupcakes!

Many brides and grooms are bypassing the traditional tiered wedding cake for something more fun, cupcakes!  Cupcakes are a great dessert option if you are doing a more informal reception or if you just want to add a dose of cuteness!   A popular trend, cupcake stands are becoming more readily available in a variety of styles or you could collect and stack vintage cake stands.  But unless you're planning to go the DIY route, be careful because many elaborately decorated cupcakes can be much more labor intensive than one traditional cake & your baker will probably charge you accordingly!  To keep the cost low & style high, try toping each cupcake with a small bloom from the garden!
