Personally I find cupcake wedding cakes just a touch downmarket despite

what Martha Stewart may think.

Well, not as downmarket as a KrispyKream wedding cake.

I actually saw a wedding cake with cupcakes many years ago and it was
lovely.

It was for a garden wedding down south. The main cake was in the shape
of a big brimmed hat, something that echoed the bride & her
bridesmaids. There were flowers all over it and trails of "ribbons"
off the brim and every 6 or 8 inches on each of these ribbons was a
cupcake, made up to look like a small nosegay. I am not sure if the
description can make it sound nearly as unusual and charming it was.

Ribbons, and flowers, attached to each individual cupcake?
Sometimes, some things, are just too much, "too" IT'S JUST A CAKE,
PEOPLE!

It was a custom designed wedding cake, something a bit unusual that
many years ago and quite appropriate for an outdoor wedding. The
"ribbons" that led from the main part of the cake (which was in the
shape of a garden party hat, remember) and to the lines of cupcakes
were made of fondant. Those cupcakes were the delight of the children
who attended.

Of course it was "just a cake," but I daresay it was it was charming,
much more personal than a common tiered wedding cake and damn tasty.

Why would something like that be "too much" as opposed to some
multi-tiered white extravaganza wedding cake that would have looked
no different from anyone else's multi-tiered white extravaganza
wedding cake and proven way too formal for an informal wedding set in
a lush and lovely garden.

This was not a Bridezilla indulgence, but a labor of love made by the
bride's mother and two grandmothers, excellent bakers all, as well as
fine decorators.

There is nothing more wonderful than foods that are the result of fine
skill and love and presented to family at a joyous event.

Last night on Food TV Giada De Laurentiis was hosting a special about
the Grammy awards banguet. They were serving gorgeous food to over 1000
people and the organizer of the catering was... a retired flight
attendant!

very organized and efficient! 🙂

I never before or since saw any reception work so well.

How rumors get started, smile.

Just to clarify... Martha had nothing whatsoever to do with the
cupcakes for wedding cake concept on the show. I never even saw the cup
cakes that the competitors turned down. When the competitors said
something about not choosing it because cup cakes need liners Martha
and her daughter said: You don't need liners. End of topic. That was
all they said. The point being the team tossed out an option based on a
false assumption.

As for her selling silicone muffin tins or cup cake liners... your
guess is as good as mine. She obviously said nothing about that. I
personally like her products very much, but since they re-designed her
website I can't figure out how to buy any products on line there now.
Maybe they've stopped selling except at K-Mart.

I watch the final few minutes of Martha Apprentice when I can remember
to do so because I find her comments in the board room, and those of
her daughter and her assistant, quite interesting.

I'm not a Martha groupie but I have a lot of respect for her and I've
learned from her over the years. I don't really go for the Martha
bashing that seems popular everywhere.

That would be no ... some people just like krispy kremes and think
that's a great idea ... and have undoubtedly never seen or heard of
croquembouche.

Makes my teeth curl just thinking about it.

Call me Bubba, but a KrispyKream wedding cake seems entirely
appropriate for any marriage past the 2nd.

Aaaaccckkk!

I'm the original poster

My niece is looking at something more like this:
www.cupcaketree.com Look at the photo page.

I was/am talking about the paper liners. I don't want to frost the
sides of a cupcake (let alone cupcakes for 150!), and I will be
frosting the cupcakes a day ahead of the wedding, liners will keep the
cakes from drying out.

Cupcakes lend themselves to different flavors a little more easily than
layer cakes, also.

There will be a small (6 inch) cake on top, for the bride and groom to
cut. No layers will be saved and frozen, because frozen year-old cake
has no appeal to either the bride or the groom, tradition be danged.

What seems to be the issue? Cupcake Liners are in every supermarket in
my neck of the woods... right next to the icing and in the baking area.
Use them when appropriate in my muffin tins.

FWIW

I doubt it. It may shock, but there are people for whom cream puffs
bound together with spun sugar holds no appeal. 🙂

I have preserved what you've written and heartily agree. There is
this notion, lately, that celebratory events aren't that big a deal.
Why make such a big deal about Christmas? It's just a day - we get
together and love each other all the time. We can get each other gifts
at any time. Well, sure, but it is nice to mark a celebration. Same
thing for weddings, anniversaries. Why make a big deal? Well, they are
big deals.

There is a reason that the actual day of celebration is set for most
things. I mean, we could all celebrate our birthdays three months
later, without harming anyone, since it's just a day, but that day has
significance.

Ranee
