Cupcake towers are my fave

April 21, 2009



I’ve heard that cupcakes are kind of going out of style. To me, a small cake with a pile of frosting is never in or out. It’s just delicious and a cure to PMS.

The top tower is just a cake stand decorated with seam binding. Summer party fresh. The second one would be perfect for a wedding shower or tea party. Maybe a fancy ladies brunch. Get the template here- both from Martha.

    Agreed. Since when can a delicious treat also be used to make people feel like they are trendy or trashy? My goodness, people. YAY FOR CUPCAKES FOREVER! I don’t like cake, but I will always and forever love the tiny joy brought to me in cupcake form.

    End mini-rant.

    Macarons are the new cupcakes.

    I agree about the cupcake stance–how can portable cake be ‘out’? Not gonna happen. LOVE the towers!!!

    Seriously, how can anything so heavy on the butter and sugar go out of style? Yumminess is not a fad. I think the second picture is gorgeous. It looks like a castle I want to storm.

    I think cake “fashion” is just the wedding industry’s way of staying relevant. They’ve been telling us cupcakes are the way to go… now we don’t have to buy a magazine to hear that cupcakes are the hot thing. So to make us buy a magazine, they say that cupcakes are out, so we’ll rely on them to tell us what is IN.

    Silly, the whole thing. I’ll have another cupcake, please.

    We just decided to go with a huge cupcake tower for our wedding, instead of the traditional cake. Love them!
