Look at that cupcake tower
below... it is awesome. I have been thinking about creating a
cupcake tower cake for my wedding and seeing photos like this
really inspires me to opt for this style of weddig cake that is
becoming more and more popular.
The key to creating a cupcake wedding cake that looks amazing to first choose the right size of tower or stands. You can rent them at party supply stores or you can buy online but the prices range from $29.99 from Efavormart.com HERE like the one below,
or THIS 6 tier stand (my pick) from shopbakersnook.com for $49.99.
If you want a bigger stand, I would suggest renting it since from my research you can get them for about $45 dollars, even less sometimes from a party rental store, or event rental shop.
After locating a stand for the size tower you want to create, you will need to find or get the right paper to bake the cupcakes in to give them the look you want. Get sheer cupcake liners if you want the cupcake color to be visible and the paper less obvious. Or get color paper that matches the theme of your wedding. I would keep away from the silver foil since the look always seem to give too much of a home-made look. You can find other color liners like the one below for $18.96 for 500 from cakesbysam.com.
The white ones are even cheaper at $6.00 for 500. But I would pay a little more for the color and hot glue white bows on all of them to give them style. To make them look similar to the ones in the photo.
Just bake your cupcakes using your own recipe or even a box cake mix . You can find them in many flavors and they are quite good. (I won't be ashamed to use them to make a wedding cake.) You can then decorate the cupackes with frosting using a pastry bag to give a professional polish. The video below shows you how.
Once you are all done, as you see in the video, you can add chocolate hearts, flowers, whatever you wish to personalize them. Then just stack the cupcakes neatly on the stand and add flowers or ribbons to decorate. What you will have is a cupcake tower you can be proud of.
