When it comes to weddings, it’s not only the bride and groom who look forward to them, but also family and friends. Having the perfect wedding is a dream come true. This momentous occasion calls for special planning and a great attention to detail. For many women, getting the perfect dress and shoes to match is one tough hurdle. The same thing probably goes for most men. But having the most wonderful wedding centerpiece is even tougher. So what’s a couple to do? The answer is pretty simple: create your own wedding cupcake stand and make them the centerpiece for the reception.
A traditional wedding cake is truly an attractive centerpiece for your wedding, but a cupcake stand could be equally eye catching. You make the colors of your cupcake stand complement your chosen motif for your wedding. Aside from that, those cupcake stands are easy to make and are quite inexpensive compared to the usual wedding cakes. That means, with your cupcake stand, you can save more bucks which you can use later on in other more important things. Say, your honeymoon.
Haven’t tried making a cupcake even once in your life? No need to worry. Cupcakes and cupcake stands are very easy to make. Even little ones can do it. Cupcake making can be a fun activity, especially if you include your family and friends. The steps are pretty easy to follow.
But make sure that you have everything planned ahead of time, so that you won’t need to rush back and forth to the stores, buying the forgotten stuff. You need ample time to prepare for this, especially if you haven’t done this before.
So what are the things that you need to do to start making your own wedding centerpiece?
First, you need to choose a recipe. Try two or three recipes if you can. That would give you more options to choose from. And if you decide to use all recipes, then that would be even more interesting. Do this at least two days in advance, so that you can make modifications just in case.
After baking your cupcakes, you can now put decorations on top, provided that your cakes have already cooled down.
Icings and frostings look attractive, but they could easily melt during the hot season.
It’s better if you could practice piping before putting the frosting on the cakes. You can also put flowers on your cupcakes if you decide against putting on icing or frosting. Flowers add colorful and interesting details to your cupcakes.
Once you have decorated your cupcakes, it’s now time for you to put them in storage, away from sunlight. Store your decorated cupcakes in a cool place. Icing flowers melt if the temperature’s too cold, so make sure that they are at cool room temperature.
Finally, you can put your cupcakes on the stand. You can create different tiers for the stand with your cake boards. You can cover the boards with colored non-stick foil to complement your overall wedding theme. Put on the finishing touches like vases, flowers, stones, or seashells to complete your design. After doing all that, you can now put on the cupcakes on the different tiers, and voila! Your cupcakes are now ready to be served!
Creating your own wedding centerpiece shouldn’t be stressful. Couples will surely enjoy it as long as they know how.
