A large wedding cake can be difficult to transport, hard to serve, and expensive to purchase..

Why not add a modern spin on your wedding day by serving individual sized cakes?

Looking to add a personal touch? Here's an ebook that shows you step-by-step how to create your own wedding cupcakes. - I highly recommend it!

Mini Cakes

You don’t need to serve cupcakes if you want to pass out individual portions. Maybe cupcakes were just served at a wedding you attended, or you want to do something unique. Consider having your baker whip up an alternative, such as mini cakes each served on their own small plate. These could be in the shape of a heart, a square, a gift, or any other sign associated with your wedding theme. Or, have them actually created to be realistic-like petite wedding cakes, complete with a topper and a ribbon around the base. Talk to your cake baker about size – they may not have made these before so you might need a few photos to guide them along. Look online or in baking books for inspiration!

Cupcakes

Cupcakes are wildly popular at weddings. These wonderful little mini-cakes are gorgeous, cost effective, and pretty much everyone loves a cupcake! Cupcake boutiques have popped up in most major cities – pop into to one to see what all the fuss is about. You’ll fall in love with the delectable treat, the whipped frosting, and the huge variety of colors and flavors. While taste is an important part of wedding cakes, presentation if just as important. You can serve your cupcakes on a cupcake tree for a stunning effect. Consider having a variety of colors, flavors, and maybe even sizes to create a dramatic display. Cupcakes can be arranged in perfectly straight lines or layered on tiered stand.

One Cake per Table

Wow your guests by exchanging your centerpieces for cakes when it’s cake-time. You can do this quite easily by having a cake stand discreetly as part of centerpieces to begin with (with flowers or candles on it). When it’s time to serve the cake, simply have your servers whisk away the centerpiece and replace it with a cake. You might choose to still have a small traditional cake for you and your groom (and perhaps the head table). Then, each table can serve themselves from their smaller version.

A Unique Individual Cake

Just like the rest of your wedding, the sky really is the limit when it comes to your cake. You don’t need to serve a traditional cake if that’s just not you! What about ice cream sundaes instead? Or artistic stacks of fruit drizzled in chocolate. A traditional dessert from you or future spouse’s heritage would be a delightful way to end the meal. Love chocolate chip cookies? Consider serving a giant chocolate chip cookie as your display cake and then presenting each guest with an individual portion. Don’t be afraid to think outside the cake box!

If you have a sweet tooth, charming your guests with playful individual size cakes is a great way to add a personal touch to your day! You can create fancy desserts that are as delicious as they are gorgeous. Your guests will love the attention to detail – and you can even tuck a few individual cakes away for later, when you’re not busy being a bride!
