whether its an overplayed fad or not, the boy and i will be serving cupcakes at our wedding. my love and adoration of cupcakes is strongly documented and when i saw my first picture of cupcakes at a wedding i was sold. i don’t know why i didn’t think of it before. people have pies and cheesecakes and little mini desserts in lieu of cake all the time! why not cupcakes?
and why wouldn’t you have a cupcake? it’s cake! that fits in the palm of your hand! that should be exciting enough.
ahem, but today’s focus isn’t one the little delectable wonders themselves [i am really wishing i had one right now], but the towers that will hold said little delectable wonders. i was going through my google reader today and came across a post from cupcakes take the cake about cupcake towers from blue cupcakes. check out some of those towers [all pictures courtesy of blue cupcake via cupcakes take the cake] and let’s all drool over those delicious looking cupcakes and then looking down at your desk and being sad when you realize that they are not in front of you [because i did that several times]:
and just because i love this book:
but you know the best thing? the towers are TOTALLY diy-able! i swear! you can get one of those fancy cupcake towers at save on crafts [either round or square...or you can go a step further and make your own tower from scratch], some wrapping paper or scrapbooking paper, and ribbon and then just cut and cover to your hearts content! this is actually the route i’m leaning towards going [because those cupcake tower rentals can be killer!] so when it’s time to decorate you know i’ll be back with pictures.
Oh how I love cupcakes! I’m still figuring out how we’re serving ours, but if we go with a tower my fiance said he’d build it. Woohoo! I love the photos you found, too.
Still love the tasty cupcake. Just need a more exciting way of displaying them!
