The Cupcake takes the Cake!


I know most people think cupcakes are elementary sweets but with the rise of gourmet cupcakes, the resurgence of this popular dessert is making a comeback in a very big way, despite being a bite size treat. I mean what is there not to like about cupcakes? They are cute, whimsy, and affordable - making them the purrfect alternative to the traditional tier wedding cake. The cost cutting cupcakes come in a mini, regular or giant size and can be highly personalized with elaborate decorations or colorful details. Gourmet cupcakes use haute ingredients like Madagascar bourbon, Mexican ganache, Nutella Swirl to just name a few. They can be arranged on a cupcake tree or assembled in different shapes for a creative presentation. And unlike a heavy tiered wedding cake, they are easy to transport and serve, which means the "cake cutting fee" will be waived by your caterer and guests can easily wrap up the left overs at the end of the night in a cute little goodie bag.

Pepe and I have narrowed down our choices to a few cupcake specialist in the R.I area. We really love Banana, Chocolate and Coconut cake flavors with some sort of complimentary filling. The cupcakes will be in addition to the other sweets we will be serving at our reception.


Cup cakery vendors were chosen based on positive reviews, flavor variety and proximity to our home or venue.
