Wedding Cupcake Ideas

All of our favorite ways to eat, drink, and be married with Baked by Melissa!

One of the most important elements of planning a wedding is choosing your wedding cake. But we’re here to tell you that there are more ways to add sweet treats to your wedding than that! Whether you’re looking for wedding party favors or want to offer mini wedding cupcakes instead of cake, Baked by Melissa has you covered. Here are a few of our favorite ways to treat everyone to bite-size desserts on your sweet day.

Cut the cake and get a cupcake wedding cake

A cupcake wedding cake is the perfect answer if you can’t decide on one flavor, have many dietary restrictions to cater to, or want to let your guests choose what dessert to have. I served this very recipe at my wedding and it was a hit! The wedding collection is reminiscent of a classic wedding cake, with delicious curls of white chocolate and a rich Bavarian cream filling. But remember—your wedding cake can be whatever you want it to be, so don’t sleep on a bite-size tie-dye wedding cupcake tower. Pro tip: Our team can help you create the wedding dessert table of your dreams—simply reach out to our team for help.

Gift bite-size cupcakes as wedding party favors

The best wedding favors I’ve ever received were edible. They’re a sweet something to eat on the way home or the week after, reminding you of all the fun you’ve had and ending everything on a sweet note. Our Wedding Favor Cupcake 3-Packs were made with this in mind. Set them out before guests leave and left them take one for the trip home!

Pop the question to your bridal party

Proposing to your bridal party has become more and more elaborate over the years. As you gift loved ones monogrammed water bottles, bottles of champagne, and cute candles, think about adding a few treats to show them how sweet they really are to you. Trust me, nothing says “Will you be my bridesmaid” better than a 6-Pack of bite-size cupcakes. It also gives them a hint for what desserts you might like served at your bridal shower!

Send thank you gifts to vendors & planners

Once the dance songs have ended and all the festivities are packed up, thank the incredible vendors that brought your wedding to life with a Thank You Gift Box 25-Pack. Whether they helped you throw a love-filled wedding reception or kept you sane on the big day, show them your gratitude with something sweet.

If you can’t be there, send cupcakes

So your BFF just got engaged, but you live across the country. No worries! Baked by Melissa ships desserts nationwide, so you can send a box of congratulatory bite-size cupcakes to newlyweds or newly engaged couples from home! Choose from our white wedding cupcakes or a classic Latest & Greatest pack (or whatever flavors you know they love!), just don’t forget to add a special CONGRATS gift box.
