Yeeeup, another cupcake bride. In order to avoid the per person cake cutting fee, we opted for wedding cuppity cakes. We’re going with a tiffany blue-ish/canary theme for our wedding, and cannot decide between the two for our cupcakes. I’m not a huge fan of frosting, so all of the inspirational cupcake photos were selected for that reason. Each of the designs would be customized to our liking of course, but you get the picture. Depending on price, we may ditch the floral top pieces, and sprinkle orchids throughout the cupcake tower.

Oh, they’re all great. Any chance you can you do both #2 and #3? A little mix and match with the colors?
My fiance and I both love #1! The cupcakes look beautiful!
@msBlossom: The pictures are actually from a vendor in Australia. I found their pictures on flickr after endless hours of searching for inspirational photos. I am cupcake’d out! They ARE pretty though. I’m deciding between Cake Lava and Tiers of Joy in Hawaii.
@missomally: I love the idea of offering two kinds. My only hesitation is price. I’ll see what my prospective vendors come back with!
@professorbee: I LOVE the rainbow in #1! It screams Hawaii to me.
i agonized over this decision! lol. they are all so cute. it’s so hard not to go for e) all of the above!
choose all of them!
I totally agree with you Miss Piglet and professorbee, the rainbow just screams Hawaii and I love the blue in it, so bright and cheery. You could always ditch the rose for an orchid or just no flower.
Wow, those are some seriously awesome looking cupcakes. I say go with your location- #1. It’s great and it screams Hawaii! The perfect match.
I voted for #3 - but only if you can do the flowers with it … if you decide not to do the flowers, then #1 is my choice for sure!
Four! It’s one of the fancy-schmanciest cupcakes I’ve ever seen!
I like 1 and 3…they are all soo cute though. I’ve never seen cupcakes like that. Can you do a variety of all 4?
We are also doing cupcakes and I’m planning on doing them myself. I really like these ideas - right now I’m going to have the rossett of frosting with a little somethign stuck in it - Nothing fancy or anything - I think the simple top with just the letter in it would be very nice and then just put the flowers around on the stand.
It’s a total crime that they can charge you a per person cake cutting fee maybe they will stop once we all wise up and go to cupcakes!!
Love the cupcakes - in particular number 3. Do they taste as good as they look?
I’ve been through your same process and I have to ask you a question. Are you ok with fondant? All those pretty pictures are fondant cupcakes… and I’ll be honest, I don’t like the stuff that much!
So if you are ok with it, then those cupcakes are great, but if not then the bottom picture of the pink cupcakes with buttercream are the way to go!
I love the little rosette in 1, the initial in 2 & 3 and the flowers…they are all waaay too cute!
@doctorgirl: yikes. great point and quite frankly, hadn’t even considered that factor. we had a fondant engagement cake, and while pleasing to my palette, i didn’t hear too much from others. I’ll check with the family on their opinion. thanks so much doctorgirl! always very helpful.
Seriously amazing cupcakes! I like 3 because it’s simple yet elegant.
I love 1 and 4 even though they are opposites. I love the simplicity of 1 and I love the complexity of 4. Those are all totally cute!!
LOVE cupcake number three, and I may just need to borrow the idea for my own wedding!
THOSE ARE SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!!! what kind of cupcake (the cake part) are you thinking of?? red velvets are sooooo yummmm!
I picked #1 after I stared at your post for 5 minutes drooling over the sheer adorableness of all of them.
They’re all so pretty, I can’t decide. But I’m loving the rainbow idea.
Hey, they are all gorgeous, I would just recommend a couple things:
1) make sure you want fondant
2) confirm that your venue will still not charge you a per person fee even if you go with cupcakes. Ours was called a “cutting fee” but when it came down to it, it was a per person dessert fee so it still applied to cupcakes.
I have never seen cupcakes before with the fondant tops. You may have just opened up a whole new world for me!!!! 
But my personal favorite was number 4.
I am the BIGGEST cupcake fan I am constantly blogging about cupcakes on Portland Style Unveiled and was so excited when I saw this post. Great finds!!
I love #3 the best. But if you are going to ditch the flowers, then I would pick #4 because I think you need SOMETHING to add a little ooomf! They are all so pretty!
Which one do you like the best?
I agree with doctorgirl. I’ve never met anyone who actually preferred the taste of fondant, but those are super cute I have to say!!!You can definitely do a lot more with fondant than icing for sure, but if you want the rainbow in #1, that could easily be done in frosting. Just an alternative idea (I did vote for #4, but in frosting I think #1 would work better). Can’t wait to see the outcome
Wow. These are the loveliest cupcakes I have ever seen! I love them all, but number 2 and 3 are my favorites.
I picked #3, but I kind of also wanted to picked #2 & #4. Those are seriously some of the most beautiful cupcakes I have ever seen.
To add to doctorgirl’s point, in addition to not being as well-liked by most, fondant is also much more expensive than buttercream. I know you said you don’t like frosting, so what if you get a small fondant cake that you and Mr. Pig can cut (and that’s the only bite you have to eat - or you can cut a whole slice for yourself if you want to, because, hey, it’s your wedding!) and then get buttercream in both colors for the cupcakes that the guests will eat? You can even get the same flavor cupcake, just have them put two different food colorings in the frosting - if you go with a white/light colored buttercream-type frosting flavor, that shouldn’t be a problem at all!
thank you thank you thank you. our engagement party was such a blur, i couldn’t remember what the heck we did with the cake. apparently, they peeled the fondant off the cake before serving. i sent a note to our baker with some of your recommendations. thanks so much, gals! weddingbee seriously rocks!
we’re having cupcakes too. i like the look of cupcake 2, but all are cute.
oh miss piggy..they are all too cute! how will you ever choose? i miss you tons…i wish i could have been there this past weekend to go to crate and barrel with you gals. 
love ya.
i agree with everyone–you pretty much cant go wrong! but i DO love the rainbow one, seems perfect!
I love the design of #2 with the colors of #3. But you can’t go wrong. They are sooooo cute!
It looks like most of us have the same idea, a mixture of 2 and 3. They are so cute and would look great on cake stands as centerpieces:) Good luck choosing:)
Seriously, all those cupcakes look great! Like pieces of art, rather than food.
Love the 2nd one, they’d look cute with some wedding Cake Toppers:
