For a number of reasons, we opted for cupcakes over the traditional wedding cake. First, because I like variety, but mostly because my venue tried to charge me $3 a head to cut and plate a cake, a fee that was waived if I brought in cupcakes. Decision made.
We went with my favorite cupcake place in the city, Sugar Sweet Sunshine, and they were great. I worked with Deb entirely via email and phone, and she was so responsive and helpful. The cupcakes were $1.50 each, which is nothing compared to the cake estimates I was getting elsewhere. We also got a cupcake tree, I thought about making one at first but I just decided I couldn't deal with that much DIY. We ordered 5 flavors - pistachio (my favorite!), red velvet, yellow cake with chocolate icing, yellow cake with buttercream icing, and chocolate cake with chocolate almond icing. Sugar Sweet Sunshine handled delivery, decoration of the tree, and setup.
Having cupcakes also meant that we did not have to do any cake cutting, which was an added bonus. Admittedly I thought about having a cake cutting just so Dude and I could have a cake fight, but when I decided to get my hair and makeup done, I certainly didn't want him messing that up with icing. Fake eyelashes smeared with cake? Not good.

Because of the chaos of the night I did not have a cupcake. I didn't realize this until the day after brunch. I have to say, I almost cried.
