A wedding is a special day for the couple and their close friends and family. It is a day filled with joy and laughter. However, there is a lot of work and money that goes into making that day oh so glorious. The pastry is one of the most expensive parts. It is also the centerpiece and as such must be simply breathtaking. Wedding cupcakes are now on the rave. They are a fresh take on wedding pastry.

You can have as many little pastries as they want. The ingredients that would go into baking one big cake for the ceremony, if done right, will produce more than enough cupcakes to go around. The traditional option allows a lot of wastage. This occurs during sculpting, right before icing. The size is also something to think about. Most people like to have different sizes. The diet nuts can have a taste. The sweet toothed can satisfy their cravings. Everyone is happy.

Wastage has been curbed. These pastries cost less. Some bakers go a little crazy on the decorating that they end up costing as much as the traditional option. It may prove cheaper. This is however not a testament to the extent of elegance. A lot can be done to enhance this aspect.

There are three options to this pastry alternative. One can buy prebaked pastries and decorate them. They can also handle the whole process from scratch. The hard thing about doing everything is transportation. Transporting these little pastries can be an arduous task. One should, therefore, find out if the caterer would be willing to transport them. The third option is having a baker do it. It will still cost quite a lot but not as much as a traditional alternative.

You might go as crazy as you like with the flavor. There is even a mocha-flavored pastry now. Imagine having five different flavored pastries at the ceremony. It would be so much fun and exciting. You can play around with the frosting and decoration. The lining can be a foil or fancy linen. There is no wrong way to do things.

Stands are no longer just metal rods welded together to merely hold pastries. They serve an aesthetic purpose too now. Hence, electric stands. These feature lighting while others have a fancy rotating thingamajig. It is a special day. The couple can even design their own stand. What a great story that would be for the grandkids?

A traditional pastry will need to be sliced and served to guests. Either by passing around the plates or by having someone go around handing out pieces. It will require additional personnel and might prove unsanitary. Having individual pastries will be easier to serve and manage. One can also incorporate the different dietary preferences of the guests with this option.

It might seem like a cliche but smearing frosting all over each other is fun. Feeding one another pieces that are too big to fit in the mouth make for very funny pictures. One can have a small cake for this purpose. They can perform the cutting ceremony and do all that corny stuff.
