I have to admit that your cupcakes ARE rather impressive (and delicious) and I feel you would be hard-pressed to find a match, BUT, I agree with most here that you’ll probably have enough on your plate (badum-ching!) already with rehearsing, getting ready in your dress, entertaining crowds of people, etc.., before the big moment– seems like a lot!!! Maybe there is some sort of compromise to be had— like maybe making some cupcakes the night before (if they went in the fridge overnight would they still be fine the next day? I think so…) and having someone else make you a small “official wedding cake’ the day of, so you’ll have a nice surprise that you don’t have to worry about? Up to you to decide! I know it does sound a little crazy to everyone on this blog, but somehow I can’t see your cupcakes not finding a way to sneak into your wedding!

You certainly have the talent to do it yourself…but it might be just one more thing on the list of a million other things that you’ll have to do in the last couple of days.

PS: I just had a red velvet cupcake at Starbucks…cupcakes are awesome and your guests will definitely love them!

Thanks for all the feedback. I will think about someone else doing the baking! I think I am leaning towards cupcakes! I better figure it out soon! Only 74 days left!
Thanks for the offer Emily, but we found some invitations! We ordered them Friday and I’ll be blogging about them soon.
Olga, you’re so right. When something goes wrong, it’s always when you have no time to fix it and company is coming.

I think a small cake for the cutting ceremony (if you’re going formal and want to save cake for your ten-year anniversary) with cupcakes for the crowd is the best of both worlds. I wouldn’t suggest baking yourself, but enlisting a friend would be good. My friends and I are taking a cake-decorating class just for this reason!

As for your invites, I think a postcard done up like a circus poster would be sharpie-do! You could hand-write guest names (and plus ones or not) and have them RSVP by phone or online. Truth is, if you want these people at your wedding, how great would it be to chat many of them up before the big day? I’m an etsy-faithful and you could get a graphic design artist to make you something phenomenal.

I think cupcakes make tiny bundles of goodness instead of messy cake crumbs. Go for the cupcakes and tell us how it works out.

Listen to Twister she liked her cupcakes!

Do a schedule and figure out if you have time to do it yourself.

It’s such a hard call! As we all know…I am in LOVE with your baking, but I do have to agree with most other commenters that the day(s) before your wedding should be a time for you to relax and enjoy as much as possible. I think it should be left up to how you feel when you’re baking? Does it relax you? or sometimes stress you out if there’s a deadline? We’d all love to eat your job well done, but not if it’s going to be at the cost of your pre-wedding sanity.

Baking is the best de-stresser!
