Wedding Cake Vs Wedding Cupcakes

I know a lot of people have gone the cupcake route, however I really don't care for them. They tend to bring a bit of a 'birthday party ' feel to weddings.

I'm doing cupcakes as well!!! So much easier, no cutting an entire cake!

I made 5 different flavors for my sister's wedding. People loved them. I always make 2 per person. We had a tower as well.

Cupcake tower and cutting cake!!!

I'm doing cupcakes, my venue doesn't provide someone to cut the cake (no, not even for a cost) and I wasn't into making someone do it. Plus I liked the flavor variety.

Also, just gonna throw out there I would hate blue frosting as a guest. I'm just imagining blue mouths...

They only look like a "birthday" , of you make them look like it.

I'm not a fan because to me, cupcakes make me think of kids' birthday parties. I know not everyone agrees with that though.

I also love the statement that a beautiful tiered wedding cake makes when looking at it.

I know I few people who did them and people loved it. I'm not much of a cake/cupcake/frosting person so I usually pass on dessert

I'd pass on food coloring.

I'm more of a fan of cake instead of cupcakes. And I wouldn't like blue icing either.

I was thinking about doing cupcakes but stuck with the traditional wedding cake. You can have cupcakes anytime; but a wedding cake... well, that's once in a lifetime!

Not a fan. Brings back memories from when I ate one of the cupcakes too soon (before they made a formal announcement) ...this is what happens when the mother of the bride insists we try a cupcake. Bride got mad and said "OmG do you all cut into a real cake before it's actually time!!" Grrrrrr... not a great memory. I have never felt so guilty for eating a stray cupcake that wasn't even on the tower. :0

I'm a traditional cake kind of girl. I think cupcakes tend to be a bit messy but in the end you need to do what you think is best.

I am having a wedding cake for everyone to eat, and cupcakes in various flavors too. No bright dyes though! I don't want any red, blue, green, etc., teeth in my photos.

I personally hate the cupcake wedding trend. As PPs have stated, they remind me of a child's birthday party. If you do decide to go with cupcakes, I HIGHLY advise against colored icing...especially blue.

We are doing cupcakes and an 8 inch cake for us to cut. I found a local bakery that had phenomenal reviews and cheap prices. Ultimately if it was out of budget we would have done a cake. I'm not a big dessert fan so I wanted to make sure there were flavor options. We are doing chocolate, vanilla, salted caramel, brownies, Reece flavored, and carrot cake

Thank you all for the replies ! I still have enough time to decide and I for sure want to do a cupcake tower with a cake top for the sake of "cutting the cake". Still not sure on the colors or icing yet. Might go with vanilla frosting lol . I'm planning for 250 guest but 250 cupcakes needed ?

When I was looking at costs. I was surprised to see cupcakes priced about the same per cupcake as wedding cake per slice

I am doing a small 2 tiered cake then cupcakes. I think its a lot cooler and i can have them beautifully decorated. I say go for what you think will be awesome!

Honestly, if you have 250 guests I would get closer to 400 cupcakes. They're significantly smaller than a slice of cake, and people may want more than one. I'm also on team actual cake... Even on the cute stand they just feel like a little kid's birthday party to me. Because I've been to little kid parties with cute cupcake stands.
