Updated on May 24, 2023

Touch of Gold

Nutmeg Cake Design used edible gold leaf to add a little unexpected shine to this couple's cupcakes.

Ornate Details

Rose-topped cupcakes, like these by La Vie Douce Design, were the perfect dessert for a blush-hued wedding.

Simple Sprinkles

These Toni Patisserie & Café treats were simply decorated with frosting and sprinkles, but the results were mouthwatering.

Multiple Toppings

Don't want to stick to just one flavor? Then offer a variety. Here, Sweet Haus served a mix of different mini cakes, including both chocolate and vanilla varieties.

Strawberry Cupcakes

Love vanilla cupcakes but think they could use a pop of color? This couple asked their baker to top each treat with a vibrant strawberry. Not only were the results beautiful, but they were delicious, too.

Fun Tiers

To keep things organized, ask your baker to arrange cupcakes by flavor on different tiers. This setup ensured guests got to bite into the treat they really wanted.

Cute Cacti

If you're planning a nontraditional event, ask your baker to decorate each cupcake with theme-appropriate details. Sweet Treats made cacti and succulents out of frosting, and the treats were perfect for the couple's greenhouse wedding.

Pastel Tones

Pink, blue, and white cupcakes from Creamy Bakery were an appropriately romantic dessert choice for one couple's French wedding. If you're tying the knot in an equally dreamy locale, you may want to steal this idea.

Chocolate and Vanilla

HappyCakes Cupcakery baked this classic combo of chocolate and vanilla cupcakes, then added a chocolate drizzle to top everything off.

DIY Dream

Believe it or not, this bride baked and decorated these two-toned cupcakes herself.

Topped With a Cake

Serving cupcakes at your wedding doesn't mean you can't cut a cake, too. Make like this couple and ask your baker to create one small cutting cake that can sit on top of a tower of mini treats.

Purple and White

Kawaii Designs created these unique purple cupcakes for one couple's retro-inspired destination wedding. The chocolate-macadamia nut flavor was a nod to their Hawaiian locale.

Lime Cupcakes

This compact, tequila-infused cupcake created by Nicole Chapman Designs was appropriately decorated with a single lime on top.

Real Flowers

To upgrade simple vanilla cupcakes, Blooming Bridal placed a fresh flower on top of each.

Fresh Herbs

Adding a sprig of rosemary to white frosting, like A Cupcake A Day did here, will give your desserts a fresh, seasonal feel.

Two-Toned Cakes

Pretty Please SF achieved this two-toned look by using blackberries and white frosting atop chocolate cakes.

Floral Treats

Etta Avenue Cakes added a single sugar flower to each of these cupcakes, which helped the classic white confections pop.

Woodsy Cupcakes

Although these cupcakes had minimal decorations, they were still the main attraction at this dessert table.

Caramel Drizzle

The only pop of color these cupcakes by Hey There, Cupcake! needed was a tiny drizzle of salted caramel.

Elegant Minis

With ultra-smooth frosting and beautiful décor, these Patty Cakes cupcakes did not look out of place under an elegant chandelier.

Stand-Out Cupcakes

These cupcakes were decorated with fondant roses for a more elegant feel.

Ornate Stand

Cupcakes don't have to be heavily decorated in order to wow your guests. Instead of over-the-top adornments, try placing them on a stunning stand like Sweet for Sirten did here.

Delicate Pearls

These Lisa Vivo Custom Cakes treats prove that simple can be stunning. White frosting and a trio of edible gold pearls were all these small confections needed to achieve a vintage look.

Polka Dots

This bride decided to make these purple-frosted cupcakes herself. She added white sprinkles to create a polka dot effect.
