When my husband and I got married we opted for a cupcake cake. We didn’t have a big wedding… or a big budget for that matter. We didn’t want tons of left over cake and I honestly didn’t need the extra calories. (In addition, it was easy for our guests to take home their ‘piece of cake’.)

Cupcake stands are the perfect way to display cupcakes, for any occasion. There are available in many different styles and a wide range of prices.

The greatest thing about making cupcakes is that you can easily whip up several different flavors, for the same event. It doesn’t cost that much more and the guests will appreciate the variety. (We served five different kinds at our reception.)

The typical cupcake stand holds 23 cupcakes. You can purchase larger stands, as well. These will accommodate up to 38 cupcakes.

If you have younger children, chances are you will be asked to bake cupcakes sometime during the school year. You’ll be the talk of the classroom, if you deliver them on a cool little sand.

In this case, the styrofoam version is probably your best bet. It is the least expensive and can be disposed of easily if it gets damaged.
