Lately, at Chris Laich Music Services, we’ve been intrigued and are ready to enter the great debate: cupcakes or cake? We see a lot of both, and we’ve wondered…is one better than the other?
Cuteness and Style:
The cupcake wins, but it’s close! Cake (especially from one of our favorites, Fancy Cakes by Leslie) looks sweet and delicious. Once cut, it gains some mouth watering appeal and but loses a little in the looks department.
Cupcakes, like our favorites from Fancy Cakes by Leslie, don’t get cut and pack a lot of punch in a little package. There’s nothing like a cupcake perched in the center of a plate.
For a more formal wedding, a cake might be the only way to go, but you can have your cake and eat it too by having a smaller wedding cake to display and cupcakes at the ready in back!

Cost:
It’s a draw. Unless you DIY your cupcakes or decorate store-bought ones, the cost of cake and cupcakes is generally the same. Cupcakes, particularly when they are specially decorated for your wedding, take just as much time as a fabulous cake from another of our local favorites, Kendall’s Cakes.

Tradition:
We knew the answer to this one! It’s a little tricky make an event out of a cake cutting with a cupcake. Plus, cakes have been a part of weddings for hundreds of years. The modern, multi-tiered wedding cake was first introduced by Queen Victoria. Trendsetter that she was, she also introduced the notion of a white bridal gown. However, before Queen Victoria rocked the boat, all sorts of less grand concoctions were served at weddings throughout history.

So, in the end, the great Cupcake vs. Cake debate will rage on! There are wins for both sides, but ultimately it’s up to the bride and groom to choose what suits their style best!
