Wedding cakes and cupcakes: What theme should i go for?

September has always been a favourite month for us at Boutique Cupcakes :)
Not only it reminded us of our journey during the setting up of our FIRST cafe in Lintas Plaza, but it is also the time where wedding bells are everywhere and surprise birthday parties are happening almost every night!

However, the top question that we've always been asked whenever customers walk in to our shop to order their engagement or wedding cupcakes/cakes is...

What theme should i go for?

Clearly, most of our customer knew what they wanted.. but they are having trouble at expressing it!

So from now onwards, Boutique Cupcakes will post ideas and examples of wedding cakes and cupcakes for your inspiration. Next time you'll come to BC, all you have to do, is show us the photo :) and we'll be happy to do it for you.

+++++

Wedding cupcakes / cake theme purely depending on the time of the event.
Be it summer or spring wedding, vintage or garden wedding, floral or beach wedding cakes, you have to decide if your wedding is to be held during the day, or at night... indoor or outdoor.

And why is that you asked? :)

First of all, fondant decoration is suitable at room or slightly below room temperature.. Buttercream however lasts longer.

Secondly, you might want to opt for brighter colour for night events and bolder/darker during the day, as contrast can really bring impact to the overall look of your wedding

Thirdly, the size of your wedding cakes should be relative to the number of wedding guests you are expecting. Will you be serving the wedding cake as a dessert in its own right or as an accompaniment to coffee? Or will it be just for decoration purposes?

Boutique Cupcakes first D.I.Y Fun Class : The Angry Bird Edition

Boutique Cupcakes brought yet another smile to everyone and this time, is through our very first D.I.Y Fun class!!! Wohooo! =D


The DIY fun class was held on the 11th Sept 2011 last Sunday, (same day as the mid-autumn festival) involving 3 groups which consists of 3 mothers together with 2 sons and a daughter.

Group 1

Group 2

Group 3

We were surprised that the little chefs consists more boys than girls XD
And we thought girl loves to bake more than the boys :P


Anyway, the class was conducted by none other than our lovely Ms. Angeline Han, together with 2 others from BC deco team.
Just in case you're wondering, other than having fun learning how to make the current famous smart phone phenomenon i.e. The Angry Bird cake, this class also aimed to give a closer bond between both parents and their children :)


In the D.I.Y fun package, each participants were given an 8-inch cake, a set of colourful fondant for decoration as well as tools for decorating.

Though it was suppose to be a fun D.I.Y class for all 6 of them, it clearly seemed that the children were the ones who were eager to compete with each other on who can create the most beautiful angry bird art work :P
They just couldn't stop looking at each other =D


The class took roughly an hour to finish... and tada~~!!! Look at the finished masterpiece!


Congratulations to all 3 groups especially all 3 little chefs who managed to create such a beautiful Angry Bird cake!


Of course, all participants can bring their masterpiece back home with no doubt, a proud smile on their face =D
We bet eating cake from now on will give a whole new meaning to all 3 groups :)



So what are you waiting for? =D
Boutique Cupcakes will have another D.I.Y Fun Class soon with a whole new theme!

For more information on Boutique Cupcakes next D.I.Y Class, please call 088 484 173.

Till then ,
