Cake or cupcake? Or other options: Posted: Jun 22, 2010 2:11 PM; I have been set on having cupcakes instead of a cake. I loathe the whole cake cutting thing and like the look of a bunch of pretty cupcakes. But, my aunt said I'll have a "hot mess" on my hands if I do cupcakes becuase they're messy to eat. I'm not having a traditional sit down dinner. We're having 60 for hibachi upstairs from the hall in the restaurant. So, cake or cupcakes won't be served there and can't be eaten there. After dinner I imagined that we'd all go downstairs where there'd be coffee and cupcakes and cookies and people can enjoy them when they're ready. Any thoughts on the cupcake thing? Or are there any other alternatives to cakes?

Re: Cake or cupcake? Or other options: Posted: Jun 22, 2010 3:35 PM Go to message in response to: Misstnt; I definitely want to do cupcakes! I highly recommend them. The main reason I am doing cupcakes is because our venue doesn't have servers or caterers or event managers. So who to cut the cake for the guests? I'm sure a family member could do it but cupcakes are beautiful and can be done nicely.

Re: Cake or cupcake? Or other options: Posted: Jun 23, 2010 11:32 AM Go to message in response to: jmd22; That's what I said to her! That I'll provide forks and plates. Her response was "really?" Sigh. Don't you hate when you get opionins that you did not ask for! Humph! So, I am still open to cupcakes and cookies or a cake. We'll decide which one once we meet with the bakers and see the different options.

Re: Cake or cupcake? Or other options: Posted: Jun 23, 2010 11:34 AM Go to message in response to: Misstnt; Mini cakes are great, but you'll spend more money on them than you would for cake or cupcakes because of all the work involved.

You can have simple slab cakes and skip the cake cutting part of things if you don't like that. I was at a wedding recently where they had a few different kinds of cheesecake on the dessert table and people just helped themselves. I think the cakes were pre-cut into slices though.

But you'd definitely need plates and forks if you go that route to avoid the "hot mess" =)

I don't see the difference in eating a slice of cake off a plate, or a cupcake off a plate. Now, if you were serving cake, with no plates or forks, THAT would be weird! :) Do what you wanna do, and your aunt will deal with it- your wedding, not hers!

Yes! So, I have a solution to that problem--IGNORE HER!

I'm off to eat a cupcake now.

But if not, our venue doesn't charge to do the cutting/serving so that's nice just in case we go the cake route. We'll probably save money by doing cupcakes though.

You should have a little cake as well so that you and the groom can actually cut into it. and when it comes to having a piece of the cake everyone will have a cupcake instead [:
