cupcake liners

It was a custom designed wedding cake, something a bit unusual that many years ago and quite appropriate for an outdoor wedding. The "ribbons" that led from the main part of the cake (which was in the shape of a garden party hat, remember) and to the lines of cupcakes were made of fondant. Those cupcakes were the delight of the children who attended.

Of course it was "just a cake," but I daresay it was it was charming, much more personal than a common tiered wedding cake and damn tasty.

Why would something like that be "too much" as opposed to some multi-tiered white extravaganza wedding cake that would have looked no different from anyone else's multi-tiered white extravaganza wedding cake and proven way too formal for an informal wedding set in a lush and lovely garden.

This was not a Bridezilla indulgence, but a labor of love made by the bride's mother and two grandmothers, excellent bakers all, as well as fine decorators.

There is nothing more wonderful than foods that are the result of fine skill and love and presented to family at a joyous event.

How rumors get started, smile.

Just to clarify... Martha had nothing whatsoever to do with the cupcakes for wedding cake concept on the show. I never even saw the cup cakes that the competitors turned down. When the competitors said something about not choosing it because cup cakes need liners Martha and her daughter said: You don't need liners. End of topic. That was all they said. The point being the team tossed out an option based on a false assumption.

As for her selling silicone muffin tins or cup cake liners... your guess is as good as mine. She obviously said nothing about that. I personally like her products very much, but since they re-designed her website I can't figure out how to buy any products on line there now. Maybe they've stopped selling except at K-Mart.

I watch the final few minutes of Martha Apprentice when I can remember to do so because I find her comments in the board room, and those of her daughter and her assistant, quite interesting.

I'm not a Martha groupie but I have a lot of respect for her and I've learned from her over the years. I don't really go for the Martha bashing that seems popular everywhere.

You shock and horrify me! Is there truly such a thing???

Vox speaks the truth. I have seen that horror, here's one:

My reaction too. Is that cupcake thing supposed to be a poor man's Croquembouche?

Call me Bubba, but a KrispyKream wedding cake seems entirely appropriate for any marriage past the 2nd.

I didn't see any bashing here.

Past the 2nd. marriage one should consider serving bran muffins.

Aaaaccckkk!

My niece is looking at something more like this:

I was/am talking about the paper liners. I don't want to frost the sides of a cupcake (let alone cupcakes for 150!), and I will be frosting the cupcakes a day ahead of the wedding, liners will keep the cakes from drying out.

Cupcakes lend themselves to different flavors a little more easily than layer cakes, also.

There will be a small (6 inch) cake on top, for the bride and groom to cut. No layers will be saved and frozen, because frozen year-old cake has no appeal to either the bride or the groom, tradition be danged.

What seems to be the issue? Cupcake Liners are in every supermarket in my neck of the woods... right next to the icing and in the baking area. Use them when appropriate in my muffin tins.

FWIW

The OP was looking for non-metallic wedding themed cupcake liners.

Well said Ranee!!! Wow, truly, you stated that so...ummm... perfectly!

Certainly the point I was making was NOT that it ISN'T a big deal. The problem as I see it is that people spend WAY too much emotional energy and more moony than they rationally should on the MECHANICS of the day and completely forget about why they are celebrating. It is called subgoal inversion. Brides become Broadway producers warring about sets, costumes, music, lighting, advertising, etc., and often alienate people along the way.
