Some couples opt for serving cupcakes at their wedding rather than a traditional tiered wedding cake. But these cupcakes should be more special than the cupcakes that are served at a birthday party or another event. Decorate your cupcakes in a fashion that is complementary to the rest of your wedding and place them on a tiered platter that resembles the shape of a traditional wedding cake.

Does this Spark an idea?

1. Tiffany's Inspired Cupcakes

   • Some people choose Tiffany's as a theme for their weddings. The teal blue color that is associated with the jewelry store, along with the white bows that top the jewelry boxes, is easily drawn on for a wedding cupcake design. Have your cupcakes made in your favorite flavor, or a variety of flavors. Then, top the cupcakes with Tiffany blue fondant and a white fondant bow for a classy wedding cupcake.

   Fresh Flowers

   • Fresh flowers are often used as an accompaniment to wedding cakes. Just because you are having wedding cupcakes rather than cakes does not mean you can't use fresh flowers as a decoration. Frost the cupcakes with frosting in a color that works with the rest of your wedding decor. Then, have small flowers placed on the top of each cupcake. Miniature tea roses are a good idea for small cupcakes. If using fresh flowers is too costly for you, ask your baker to make flowers out of fondant or pulled sugar and place those on top of each cupcake.

   Monogram

   • Decorate the cupcakes for your wedding with your new monogram. Frost the cupcakes with one of your wedding colors. Then, ask your baker to create an attractive monogram on each cupcake using frosting or fondant. The monogram should be the first initial of the couples' last name flanked by the first initial of each of their first names.

   Hobby

   • Use a hobby enjoyed by the couple as the inspiration for the decoration for their wedding cupcakes. For example, if they enjoy music, embellish each cupcake with a musical note made out of fondant. For a couple who enjoys spending time at the beach, place a fondant sea shell on the top of each cupcake.
