Main cake but cupcakes too?

Lovelea, 31 March, 2010 at 13:30 Posted on Planning 0 2

Hi

We are having a friend make a three tiered fruit wedding cake but also wanted to have a sponge option for guests who don't eat fruit cake. So we thought we would order chocolate cupcakes from Waitrose as they are a good price. We would ask for a tier of sponge but our friend can only make fruit cakes and this will be her first wedding cake so we don't want to make demands of her.

So as we want the 3 tier cake as the main cake but also want to have cupcakes too, how would you display this on your cake table? We don't want our friend to think we have a 'back up cake' or that her cake isn't important but we feel we do have to provide anothher option. Should we just display the 3 tier cake and then bring out cupcakes later or ahve a cupckae tower next to the 3 tier cake?

Is anybody else having more than one cake?

    I think I'm going to have both! But my reason is that I've fallen in love with a cake stand that really matches my theme so want to put something on it!!


    I think il just have them next to each other on the cake table? My cake will probably be white so should go nicely together.

    Just a suggestion, if she's not stacking the tiers maybe get her to make the bottom 2 then use the cup cakes as the top tier,
