The Memories Thru a Lens Blog

When it comes to anything wedding it normally means lots of options and even more decisions to be made, not least is the cake. Some couples envisage the traditional 4 tier wedding cake, others don’t want a cake at all as they want to shy away from the age old traditional of the cutting of the cake, and for those that are left somewhere in between it seems cup cakes have proved to be the most popular option.

Cupcakes in the form of a wedding cake really do make a modern statement with a fun twist, I mean who doesn’t love a cupcake (plus there is no paying the venue to cut it for you!). Cupcakes are also great to photograph too and they can really make a lovely background to your cutting of the cake album page; now don’t think you cant cut a cupcake at the crucial moment on your wedding day there are options that cover this too, a cake topper which is your more traditional cake on top of your cupcake tower can be used or just as fun is to actually cut a cup cake between you, I mean why not it may not last as long when you actually slice but I’ve no doubt it will get a laugh from your guests.

I was lucky enough to spend an afternoon photographing cup cakes the other day, Im not sure my expanding waist thought it was good news as I couldn’t stop nibbling on those butter cream topped beauties, of course this was much in part to the fabulous baking skills of Gazeli Bakes, their cakes are lighter than air and the butter cream is to die for, so if your looking for cup cakes I can’t recommend them enough, visit their website for more information at www.gazelibakes.com

In the mean time something to wet those taste buds… I give you the cupcake with no calories, of course a picture is a bit tougher to chew on!! Enjoy…..
