Wedding Cupcake Tree
Wedding cupcakes are the most fashionable alternatives to the traditional tiered wedding cake. No more fussing with cutting the cake, and the guests can choose from a variety of cupcake flavors and designs to eat at the reception or to bring home with them. Not to mention that well-decorated cupcakes can serve as stand-alone decors!
But what if you have hundreds of guests at your wedding? How in the world will you serve the cupcakes to them? Wedding cupcakes are normally placed on tiered stands but you’ll need at least several of them, perhaps one on each table, and it kind of destroys the idea of the wedding cake as the center of the ceremonies.
If you’re a creative, do-it-yourself bride, you might want to forget the cupcake stand and place hundreds of cupcakes on a large cupcake tree instead! Not only is it a beautiful way to present all those wedding cupcakes; it also makes a fabulous centerpiece. The wedding cupcake tree pictured above is about six feet tall, 40 inches in diameter. Each layer is made out of half-inch, medium density fiberboard with rounded edges painted white. The whole structure rests on a Christmas tree stand and is held up by a curtain rod through holes made in the center of each layer.
Six feet of cupcake-y goodness! That definitely beats your average wedding cake. I wonder though, where would you put the cupcake tree afterwards?

I find this blog very interesting and I will come back often. In the meantime I can recommend Wedding Accessories by Weddingstar.
Oh my goodness! Who in the world made the cupcake stand? That is amazing! I’ve never seen one of these before, it’s one of a kind for sure. I would be concerned that all the kids would nab all the cupcakes on the bottom tiers though.
My mother-in-law just sent me this link. That’s us! Thanks for featuring it, we sure thought it was amazing:)
We actually cut the cake early in the reception so it was no problem having kids grab cupcakes- we had plenty, I left it up to their parents to decide when they had enough. As for storing it, we gave it to a baker, there was definitely no where to keep it, and unfortunately you can’t just keep having receptions!
