Oh do I have some pics for you... LOL we want to do a cupcake tower too. These are mostly red accented, but remember you can decorate however you want!
 Technical difficulties, hold on...

Check out the knot too, you can search by mini cakes (which are cupcakes, don't know why they didn't just call it that).

Sunnyd, the pictures are great! That tower is HUGE. It definitely would make a statement. I love the little square ones. I try to avoid the knot, but now I know what to search for on other sites! Maybe that''s what I was doing. Maybe they think mini cakes will be taken more seriously than cupcake?? Pshh, seems silly.
Thanks again for the pics! |

This was our cupcake tower (albeit a small tower because our wedding only had 30 guests!). I think if your goal is wedding-y you could have them decorated in the colors of your wedding, etc. But they don''t need to look like a child''s birthday party if they are done right!

Those are so cute! The colors are great! I think SO is terrified of showing up and having like... soccer balls on the tops of them or something. He''s all "Cupcakes can''t be elegant" so I''m out to prove him wrong. What do guys know about baking anyways?  Haha, I guess that''s not really fair.. because I don''t know anything about baking either! |

I found a specialty cupcake shop in our area, so I think I''m going to drag him out there. Seems like the easiest way to convince him...
 He''s used to my crazy ideas by now, but when I mentioned cupcakes + wedding, he looked at me like I was speaking a different language and said, "Are you listening to yourself?" which is what we say when the other is being totally unreasonable. Haha.

Yeah it''s monstrous alright... he just needs to see some cupcakes from a professional bakery, not from a grocery store where they come in plastic containers of 6 hideously decorated...with soccer balls, or xmas trees, or ghosts, whatever the season may be. |

Those ones are so great! That''s what I''m looking for. I know decoration can''t be changed easily, but I just needed some good examples to show SO. I especially love the first ones. And they look delicious! |
I''m totally kidding. Thanks for the link, Freke!|

check this thread for pics on what we did
http://www.pricescope.com/forum/bride-world-wide-grooms-grooves/individual-table-cakes-t86729.html and here is a pic of the overflow cupcake tower before the florist decorated it with flowers (she put flower in each of the non carrot cake cupcake and some rose petals around the perimeter) the cupcake tower we rented was quite industrial looking and i put silver doilies on it to make it less severe looking

Heh. Thanks! There are a lot of recipes and other baking info on there, but a lot of pics too of cute and non cute cupcakes. Plus, I bet SOMEONE over there (not me!) has a pic or two of cupcake towers floating around in their cookbooks or on their computers. Just another avenue to check out. WARNING: You end up craving cupcakes (and other desserts) when you finally leave that thread... |

Ringster - Such a cute idea! I'm not a girly girl and flowers aren't really my thing, so something like that would be so cute! They looked great all wrapped up and they look soooo tasty.
Freke - You aren't kidding about the cravings! We've already made plans to go get some cupcakes on Saturday. They have a tremendous list of flavors. Stuff like mojito and ones with nutella. Should be interesting. I can't pass up a good Red Velvet (mmmmmmmm ) so that's definitely what I will be getting!ETA: One of the main reasons I want cupcakes is because I want Red Velvet but don't want to do a whole layer or cake in it. I know it's not a popular choice (maybe the color throws people off?) but nothing would make me happier! |

I love the last ones! I love how the cupcakes are displayed on what looks like a wedding cake. |

i love red velvet! - we originally wanted to get red velvet cupcakes but it is sooo hard to find good ones. if we went with a higher end cupcake place then we might have been able to get them but we couldn''t justify the cost -- i think they were charging about $1 more per cupcake and were not as convenient to our venue. good luck and happy cupcake tasting! we ate sooo many cupcakes within a month span! |
