With a cupcake wedding cake, you'll save time and effort with the cutting and distribution of the cake; not to mention the extra expense of the traditional tiered wedding cake.
You can make an eleborate cupcake tiered wedding cake instead of the traditional buttercream or rolled fondant cakes - or you could have both.
A tiered wedding cake with one single fondant cake on top, with the remainder being cupcake wedding cakes as in the picture on the left. This totally works and looks superb.
