creative cupcakes

Did someone say "cupcake"?  I hope so!  Are you looking for a fun alternative to the more traditional wedding cake?  Or are you entertaining a varied crowd with different tastes but want to provide a savory treat?  This cupcake idea is something that is growing in popularity, and is, in my opinion, a fabulous option.  Do you ever find that you are stuck eating some dry, over-iced slice of sheet cake to wrap up an otherwise-above-average meal?  Or have you ever gone light on dinner in anticipation of a tasty sweet, but been too embarrassed to grab two slices and instead accidentally overindulged in the vino?  Cupcakes are the perfect alternative to cake.  Not only can you provide an abundance of flavor options (marble, lemon, strawberry, chocolate, etc.), but you can get creative with the individual cupcake decoration as well. 

Divination Cupcakes

I think that this is one of the cuter ideas that I have ever seen.  These cupcakes answer yes or no questions.  Simply ask, select a cupcake, and open the sealed banner for a reply.  Not a believer?  Oh well, you can still enjoy the tasty confection (and come back for another if you so desire). 
As with cake, there are a multitude of options, but cupcakes allow you to mix it up a bit.  Do you have a favorite pistachio cake recipe from when you were young, but fear that it may not go over so well with all of your guests?  Offer the pistachio as one of the options but provide some others as well.  This way, bride, groom, guests and picky eaters are satisfied-and like I said, don't be afraid to try them all.
