Cupcake Wedding Cakes

I was at a wedding recently and they had a magnificent display of cupcake wedding cakes.

It was not a huge wedding so there was probably only about 100 vanilla cupcakes on the display. They were frosted in three different styles but all used the same vanilla buttercream frosting. They were also all in silver foil cupcake wrappers.

One third of the cupcakes had a small buttercream swirl and one third had a large swirl which covered the entire top of the cupcake. Both of these were sprinkled with edible silver stars and the ones with the small swirl were also very lightly dusted with powdered sugar. The remaining third also had a large swirl of buttercream but instead of silver stars they had a large white sugar star standing upright.

The cakes were displayed on a clear perspex tiered cupcake stand. Rather than a tier of each type of cupcake they were mixed in together - one with a small frosting swirl, large swirl and then sugar star.

Little silver stars were then sprinkled on the white tablecloth around the cupcake stand. It was so impressive and I wish I had taken a photo to show you.
