"Cupcake Tree" Wedding Cake

Recently BlackBird Images photographed a wedding where the couple choose a non-traditional type of cake. We called it a "cupcake tree" for want of a better way to describe it. As you'll see in the photo below, the top level is a "standard" cake the couple used for the cake-cutting ceremony; the cupcakes were for guests. It was very pretty, eliminated the effort of cutting and serving cake, and made it easy to provide guests with a variety of cake and icing choices.


As cupcakes were removed,the tree was re-stocked. We thought it was a great idea and was a fun way to avoid cutting (and wasting) a lot of cake; we heard the couple donated the "leftovers" to a church pot luck dinner held the next day. While evidently not everyone has seen a cupcake tree before...
... that doesn't mean you shouldn't consider one for your wedding.
