Cupcake wedding cakes are always cool. Who doesn’t like an individually-sized wedding cake of their own? And, you can even make special vegan or gluten-free cupcakes for guests with special diets. Now, here’s the treat: a cool-concept cupcake wedding cake…

Remember, your wedding cake can be anything you desire.

Weddings are parties… and why not be honest about it? This day-after cake says it all:

Some people may not know it by looking at me but I love food. If it were between a moment of sleep or a moment of feast, I would definitely choose the latter. I never thought I would actually sit and compare the meals provided at the 4, yes 4, weddings I went to last year. It was like being an amateur food critic while someone’s happiest day/night was going on. I guess there’s always something that sticks out about the particular weddings you go to. Some have the most beautiful flower arrangements, other the best color scheme, but for me, it was all about the food.

So good that a year later I remember the exquisiteness of the food. Good news is, she did outside catering from a local restaurant so I can stop by and get the food again.

I guess it depends on the type of person you are and the kind of crowd you roll with because you could go the 5 course meal way or the hot dog stand route. Either way, it’s pretty memorable for a free loading friend like me.
