Wedding Cupcake Towers

Cupcake towers have recently become a very popular alternative to traditional wedding cakes. They offer perfect proportions without the hassle of cake cutting and no silverware is necessary. Not to mention they can be had for a fraction of cost of a traditional wedding cake.

If you are looking to hire someone to create your cupcake tower, a good place to begin is by checking your phonebook for local cupcake shops. Keep in mind that prices are often negotiable. Many shops will give you a reduced price when you order larger quantities and they WANT your business. Shop around and negotiate to get the price that you think is fair.

The best part about cupcake towers is that it offers a great "do it yourself" option. Not everyone has the culinary skill to create a beautiful wedding cake. However, almost anyone can make a beautiful cupcake. Once you figure out your design, duplicating it becomes easier and easier. There are many online tutorials which cover a wide variety of frosting techniques. You also have the option to purchase pre-made candy decorations and simply stick them on. As a finishing touch you can accessorize your cupcakes with ribbons and live flowers to match any color palate.

The cupcake tower shown above was purchased for $370.00 from a local cupcake shop and included 200 cupcakes and two small cakes. One for the cake cutting ceremony and one for the one year anniversary.
