This wasn't either of our first weddings which meant we were looking for a different approach than usually required by first timers. It helped that we knew what we wanted too. Because of the location for our wedding we had chosen, there were certain things we had to take into consideration, among the most important, time. Time for set up, time for the event, and time for clean up. From the very beginning, we had envisioned not going the traditional route of a tiered wedding cake, but that of a tiered cupcake tree with a small topper for the traditional cake cutting. This helped by eliminating the need to spend time in cutting and plating cake for 100 people.

My now wife found the Royal Cupcakery using a local site and the fun began.

When we met to discuss the wedding and their offerings, they brought us a couple of samples. OMG! We sat and reviewed their website which listed what seemed to be an endless choice of cakes, frostings, and presentations. Luckily, we knew what we wanted ahead of time or making the choices would have taken a really long time. We chose four different cupcakes: devil's food with cinnamon infused chocolate frosting (my fav), carrot cake, traditional white cake, and a key lime cake with lemon frosting tinted green to match our colors. All were dusted with sparkles because, well, because it was a wedding. The stand we chose was solid and fit perfectly with the decor and the style of the room.

For $25, they provided a dozen cupcakes so that we could sample our flavor choices. Can you imagine being on a sugar high for a whole week? It was heaven!

On the day of the wedding, they arrived right on schedule and set up the tree, cupcakes, and topper cake so that it looked just like all of the pictures. Everyone was professional from day one. Their pricing was better than reasonable and the service was exceptional. And the cupcakes? Even though about 80% of those invited and planned for made it, there were only 12 left over.
