The cake vs. cupcakes battle is over.
The winner: cupcakes!!!
Cupcakes just made sense for the Cheetah wedding. We love cupcakes, they’re cheaper, and since dessert is being served away from the dinner tables, it made more sense to serve something that didn’t require a plate and fork (don’t worry, there will be plenty of napkins!). Plus, cupcakes will look great on our sweets table and we can get them is lots of scrumptious flavors! It was hard narrowing down the flavors for our wedding from the dozens of options on our baker’s menu, but after two (yes, two) tastings with our baker I think we have it figured out.
Introducing the final flavors:
Vanilla (First Flavor Runner-up), Cosmopolitan, Meyer Lemon

Hungry yet?
What kind of dessert are you having?
What? No chocolate? Tragedy! (Kidding! mostly.)
I love cupcakes. But we’re having cake and pie at our wedding, because I am excited about having a fancy pretty cake, and the FI likes pie.
OMG, that rice krispie treat flavor sounds AHHHHMAZING!
We are doing CUPCAKES too!! I just love idea of having loads of options! We are having the following:
Spice cake with maple butter cream
Boston Creme pie cupcake
White cake with Baileys Silk Mouse frosting
Chocolate with Raspberry butter cream
and
Peanut butter and Jelly cupcake - which will be a chocolate cupcake with peanut butter cream frosting and a strawberry preserve filling!
I hardly ever eat my cake at weddings - so we are doing self-serve cupcake/candy bar table with take out boxes for anyone who wants to take their cupcake home with them!
And now I’m hungry!
We are doing cupcakes in lieu of a grooms cake. Are you not doing a bride’s cake at all? I would love to know because I have actually considered not having one.
Ooooh, coconut and lemon - two of my very favorite flavors! It al sounds so yummy… *drools*
Yummy! We are having individual chocolate lava cakes with vanilla ice cream. We really didn’t want a cake, so this was a good compromise for us. Nothing but ooey-gooey chocolate goodness!
Those have a delightful ratio of frosting:cupcake. ^_^ I want to gobble the Meyer Lemon one right up!
We are in the midst of the cupcake vs. cake dilemma as well 
We have tastings scheduled for mid-February, and I am SO excited!
I love cupcakes! I think we’re going to have some in addition to the cake because they’re just too cute!
I would love to just have cupcakes, but the FI wants to do the whole cake cutting experience. I am trying to convince him to have a faux cake with one “real” layer to cut and then just doing cupcakes.
We’re having pies. Our discussion(s) about desserts went like this: “Ooooooh! Let’s have pie! And cupcakes! And a candy buffet! Hey, and maybe a dessert buffet with other goodies!” We - okay, “I” - got a little carried away. We’re actually having a number of different kinds of pies, and one small cake, which will be a birthday cake because our wedding day is my future mother-in-law’s birthday.

Feeling very inspired by all those cupcake flavours - particulary like the very elegant Bride and Groom cakes which I’m going to make for my next wedding show. My love of cake has led me to making vintage mismatched china cake stands which you can see at http://www.letthemeatcake.co.uk - enjoy and of course eat cake!
@mightywombat: We’re hoping the red velvet for be a nice substitute for chocolate
@vtbride2011: Those flavors are to die for!
@chrispygal: Yum!
@Jill: Pie, yes please!

Ms. Cheetah, Los Angeles/Palm Springs Age and Occupation: 31, Artist, Educator Fiance's Age and Occupation: 32, TV Finance Engagement Date: April 2010 Wedding Date: March 2011 Venue: The Viceroy About Me: I’m a silly, sassy lady with a compulsion to create. I love to sing and dance, despite the fact that I lack any talent doing either. I somehow manage to be messy and organized at the same time. I like to spend my days road tripping, watching '80s movies, reading true crime books, buying things on sale, sending postcards, playing board games, dining at food trucks, snuggling, and drinking ginger ale. I have a weak spot for all things sweet, especially Mr. Cheetah! I’m a Chicago girl and he’s a Nor Cal boy but we love living in the City of Angels. After 10 years as a couple we are planning a fun-filled semi-destination wedding in Palm Springs. Hope you enjoy the ride!
