Wedding Shower Cupcakes

Wedding Shower CupcakesWhat is it about cupcakes at a wedding shower that we love so much?

Is it the delicious, moist cake, topped with butter cream frosting? Is it the way they look so gorgeous, arranged artfully on a platter in coordinating colors, with decorations like flowers and polka dots? Or, maybe it’s the way they remind us of our childhoods.

What ever it is about cupcakes, we sure do love them. They are the perfect addition to any wedding shower: sweet, feminine, and completely customizable!




Cupcake Colors

Cupcakes can be virtually any color under the sun. From shades of green, to crisp white, to stripes of sunny yellow and orange – if you order your cupcakes in advance, there’s probably nothing a good baker can’t do! Or, if you plan to create your cupcakes from scratch, you can make the perfect color yourself by experimenting with small bowls of frosting before plunging forward with your desired hue. Whether you opt for elegant or bold; funky or classic, there’s a perfect wedding shower cupcakes out there for you!


Cupcake Flavors

Cupcakes range in flavor, just like wedding cakes. Many fancy “cupcakeries” offer an abundance of delicious temptations, including raspberry, peanut butter and banana, mocha, peppermint, and strawberry. You’ll need to choose a cake flavor as well as a frosting flavor. Look for exotic flavors like carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, key lime cupcakes with meringue frosting, or dark chocolate velvet with espresso icing.



















Cupcake Decorations

There are so many ways to decorate cupcakes! From sugar pearls and crystals to sugar flowers and fondant hearts, the sky is truly the limit. Whether the theme of the day is daisies, purses, or berries, you can create a design to make the cupcakes work with your event. Edible gold leaf adds an elegant and luxurious flavor, while fresh berries are perfect for an all-natural, casual affair.


Cupcake Presentation

When it comes to cupcakes, it’s all about an artful display. Consider ordering contrasting colors, so you can alternate them for a gorgeous presentation. Cupcakes can be presented on cake stands, in perfect rows, or on specialty cupcake trees. Use various types of stand that have one unifying element – for example, all shades of pink, all square, or all glass. Crystal clear plastic wedding cupcake stands can be purchased with various numbers of tiers, to create a look that is streamlined and cake-like.


Cupcake Theme

For the true princess of a bride who loves cupcakes, why not incorporate an entire cupcake theme to the wedding shower? Invitations can feature cupcakes, and cupcakes can be introduced in a number of ways during the shower. Cupcakes make wonderful favors for each guest to take home. You could also have a cupcake-decorating contest, where each guest competes to make the most beautiful cupcake. Guests can play “pin the cherry on the cupcake,” and even play a game where guests must taste different cupcake flavors and guess which is which. A cupcake theme is a fun, girly way to bring the day together in a sweet way.
