Cupcakes Vs. Cake (The great wedding debate)

I remember when I stopped in to a cupcake shop in town for the first time.

It was, by far, the best red velvet anything I've had ... which is a feat since I pretty much eat red velvet anywhere it's available and I'm super picky.

It got me thinking. At one of the bridal expos we went to, we sampled six cakes and I wasn't impressed with a single one. I wouldn't serve any of them to my guests. I'm kind of a dessert snob. Pete, he doesn't know a scratch cake from a box cake. They're all the same to him. But my pallet, it knows desserts.

And this cupcake ... it's what memories are made of.

So I thought, "What if I went against a traditional wedding cake and got cupcakes from this shop?"

Wedding cupcakes are the trendy thing to do. In fact, it's exactly what my friend Mallory did at her wedding.

She had a small cake ... and that's the one they cut and stuffed in each other's faces. But everyone else had a delicious cupcake. It was perfect. After a cocktail hour and dinner, you don't always have much room for a traditional cake. But I've never heard a single person ever say they don't have room for a cupcake.

I mentioned cupcakes to my mom during planning, and she said that I would regret it in the future. She said I would look back on my photos and wish that I had one of a gorgeous wedding cake. And our wedding cake, gosh, it was gorgeous. And delicious. It took me months of cake tasting to find the perfect one. But over a year later, people are still talking about it. It was definitely the right choice for us.

But, what about you?
