Three Tiers For The Wedding Cupcake Stand
A less traditional bride may want to choose a less traditional wedding dessert for her special day — cupcakes! Although they do not lend themselves to face-smashing as easily as a slice of moist cake, cupcakes offer a few advantages over cake: they are much less work to dole out to guests; they tend to be less expensive; and they are simple enough for the bride or her friends and family to make themselves. If you decide to go with cupcakes, you’ll want to look into wedding cupcake stands, since just putting them out on a tray isn’t a very attractive decorating option.
Cupcake wedding cake stands tend to come in two main varieties: round and square. Round stands are made up of three to six layers of round trays slowly decreasing in size. Each is designed to hold a certain number of cupcakes without spilling or pushing any awkwardly off the edge. Round trays make your wedding cupcake stand into a beautiful decoration that you can place in the center of the reception hall to show off to your guests. These stands tend to run between $20 and $200, depending on how many layers you want, how large you need the trays, and what quality you want the material.
Wedding cupcakes stands also come in square varieties, which are generally less expensive than round stands — they retail between $30 and $100. They are less attractive than round stands, but much easier to transport from place to place, so even if you’ve already loaded up all the cupcakes and realized you need to shift it somewhere else, it won’t spell certain disaster. Square stands also hold more cupcakes, since not as much area is unusable as on a circle tray, so you can afford to purchase a smaller stand and still fit just as many cupcakes.
