Wedding cupcakes were originally thought to be a passing fad, but it looks like they're here to stay! It's no wonder: these pint-size confections add a whimsical touch to your wedding reception with the added bonus of being slightly more affordable than a traditional wedding cake. But is a cupcake wedding cake right for you? We break it down below.

Are Wedding Cupcakes Cheaper?

Cupcakes typically cost as a caterer in Boston about $3,50 each, whereas a traditional wedding cake is a hefty $7.00 to $12.00 per slice.

If you want to spring for fancy cupcake liners, decorative stands, and intricate decorations, that cheap little cupcake is going to cost a whole lot more. If you are choosing to serve cupcakes in order to save some money, remember to keep it simple. However, if you just like the whimsical feel of cupcakes, and have a big budget, you can make these desserts really memorable.

There's something so nostalgic and childlike about unwrapping a cupcake. And that's what people both love and hate about wedding cupcakes – are they fun and familiar or too casual and unsophisticated?

If you're having a formal wedding, you may want to stick with a grand and formal wedding cake. If your wedding guests are traditional people, they might think cupcakes are too casual, or worse, cheap.

But if you're having a relaxed reception where fun is the primary goal, tell everyone to be a kid again and grab a cupcake. Once they're up and having fun on the dance floor, they won't have to sit again for dessert. They'll just grab a cupcake and keep on groovin'.
