Houston Wedding Trends – Wedding Cupcakes:
Having taken part in weddings for 12 years and counting, we have been lucky enough to witness and capture the changing scenes in the wedding industry. We have seen wedding dresses go from poofy shoulders and long sleeves to strapless, couture gowns. These days, it’s the traditional tiered wedding cake that’s getting a bit of a makeover and transforming into creatively stacked cupcakes. Not only are cupcakes a fun and familiar site, but depending on which route you choose to obtain your cupcakes, these mini confections could end up saving you big bucks on your wedding day budget. Looking for something quick and easy? With a little artistry and creativity, pre-made grocery store cupcakes can be dressed up and turned into a one of a kind, decorated treat. Want to take things to the next level? Designate a friend or family member familiar with the baking process to handle the cupcakes for you. They can easily be made in advance and keep well in airtight containers in the freezer. You will have more control and flexibility with the variety of flavors and designs possible. How about one more step up? With the popularity cupcakes haved gained over the years, Houston now has several bakeries and dessert boutiques that specialize in these bite-sized treats. With the sophisticated flavors available, you will be able to offer your guests a selection of gourmet wedding cupcakes. If you’re not ready to let go of the tiered wedding cake tradition altogether, add a 6″ top tier for cutting. The cutting of the cake by the bride and groom represents their first joint task as a married couple and the feeding of the cake as a symbol of their commitment to each other. And who would want to let go of that? Planning on serving wedding cupcakes at your upcoming event? Let us know about it with your comments below!

Houston Wedding Trends – Grooms Cake:
In the United States, the grooms cake is generally known as a Southern tradition. So how lucky are we that we live in Texas and get to take part in this delicious custom? Though not absolutely necessary, the grooms cake can serve several purposes. It is often times served alongside or as an alternative to the wedding cake during your reception or instead, used as dessert for your rehearsal dinner. In addition, there’s a very interesting wives tale that says if a young, unmarried woman takes a piece of the grooms cake home with her and places it under their pillow, she will dream of her future husband that night. Talk about sweet dreams! Over the years we have seen some very intriguing and elaborate grooms cakes and we wanted to share some of these tasty treats with you. Our photographers have captured these cakes in such great detail you can practically taste the sweetness. From tshirts to school spirit and cakes that look so much like real food they make your mouth water, we’re sure you’ll find something to inspire you for your big day. And we saved our favorite image for last! See if you can name all the snacks that make up this towering confection!
