Wedding Cupcakes: London’s Hottest New Trend
By Pilar Mena © 2012, All Rights Reserved
It’s official. London has gone cupcake crazy! Wedding cupcakes
helped celebrate last year’s Royal union, showed up for the
Queen’s Golden Jubilee, and will take center stage at the 2012
Olympic Games with designs including the torch, the Union Jack
and Big Ben. Cupcakes are the hottest new dessert trend, and as
people create new occasions for serving them, these petite treats
get gobbled up all the faster.
It’s not difficult to understand everyone’s enthusiasm. Eclectic
cake flavours including red velvet, earl grey, salted caramel,
and cookie dough along with classic vanilla and chocolate thrill
your taste buds. But there’s more to be enjoyed in the endless
choices of wild (and sometimes inspired) sprinkles that have made
today’s wedding cupcakes a gourmet delight.
London is Wild for Cupcakes Whether full-sized or in miniature,
cupcakes have gotten the attention of major newspapers and
magazines. They also make the scene on fashion sites and even
have their own TV series.
Accordingly, shoppers and party planners throughout the city are
choosing cupcakes to be a part of their most important occasions.
Wedding Cupcakes
Besides being generally more affordable than the traditional
tiered cake, cupcakes allow for amazing versatility suitable for
wedding receptions from formal to funky. Stack them, fan them,
create a buffet, or bring them straight to the table. You and
your baker can find the best presentation for the event.
With cupcakes you can serve a variety of flavours without waste –
an ideal solution for those who may be allergic to chocolate or
other ingredients. You can even consider a cupcake bar that lets
each guest customise his/her own treat.
Use cupcakes for other matrimonial events, too. Wedding showers,
second weddings and vow renewals are all prime occasions to serve
this handy, affordable treat that will have your guests singing
your praises. Another benefit: small wedding cupcakes are easier
to take home as guest gifts or leftovers.
How Many Cupcakes per Guest? Much depends on the size of the
portions and the toppings. If you want to go with cute, miniature
cupcakes, plan to serve two per guest. But if you prefer
regular-size cupcakes then one per person should suffice, with
several extras on hand for those who have heartier appetites.
Send Some Home
Consider cupcakes not just for the reception, but as guest
favours. Today’s wedding cupcakes are easy to wrap, carry and
store – just ask your baker for recommendations.
Don’t Cut Corners
For your special day, you want the very best. Be sure to choose a
bakery that uses only the finest ingredients including organic
ingredients like flour, milk, eggs and butter and bakes your
wedding cupcakes to order. Instead of mass-produced or premade
(often frozen) cupcakes from a multiple retailer, local handmade
artisan cupcakes allow you to taste the freshness in every moist,
delicious bite.
Do You Deliver?
Delivery is almost always the better option. Trust an experienced
cupcake shop that provides delivery to the local areas within
London. They will handle all the details, from delivery to set up
and even cupcake stand hire, so you can take those annoying
details off your wedding to-do list.
