Wedding Cupcake Favors

Wedding cupcake favors are becoming a favorite for couples wanting to give enjoyable favors to their guests. And since edible wedding favors seem to be at the top of the list for the best favors to give, deliciously designed cupcakes are starting to show up at a lot of weddings today.

These cute little edible favors can be a part of the wedding cake as couples are opting for wedding cupcake trees today instead of a traditional multilayered cake, or they can be a side creation made especially as wedding favors.

Either way, wedding cupcake favors can be an affordable option to the retail same-as-everyone-else-is-buying favors that are on the market, giving couples more flexibility in the favors they select.

And if the couples bake and design the cupcakes themselves, it gives them a way to express themselves as well. What better way to say thank you than with a sweet little treat they can eat at the reception or take home to enjoy later.

Depending on the size of your guest list, you might want to hire some volunteer help for the mixing, baking and decorating of the cupcakes. Even 50 to 75 cupcakes is a lot and can take a good amount of time.

Decorate the cupcakes with frosting that can be safely left at room temperature for a few hours or even overnight without risking any type of food poisoning.

Shop around for decorative little boxes for the wedding cupcake favors or make and decorate your own little cupcake boxes.

For the most cost effective and affordable way to give wedding cupcakes for favors, especially for a larger guest list, instead of going with elaborate designs, just keep the cupcakes simple. You can decorate the outside of the cups and decorate the boxes then add one or two little decorations on top that match your cake or your wedding theme.

If you're experienced with using fondant, you can choose white fondant icing with some candy decorations for simple and pretty cupcakes that your guests will love.

Add a special touch by combining the wedding cupcakes with a cute poem for a simple yet elegant and affordable favor package for your guests.
