How to Choose Cupcake Cases
When making cupcake bouquets, the right type of cupcake casing can greatly enhance the overall look of your centerpiece. Whether you are making this for a wedding or just making a single, beautiful centerpiece to give as a gift, the right type of cupcake case can really boost the appearance of your project. Here is a guide on how you can select the appropriate cupcake case.
Choose the right size
Pick cupcake cases that are the right size for your design. Mini cupcake cases for smaller cupcakes make excellent fillers (less gaps in between cupcakes)
but larger ones help you cover a lot of space easily. When doing cupcake arrangements, make sure that you also have the right cupcake display cases to support all of your work to make sure that they have a stable base. If you are planning to make giant cupcakes, then you have to make sure you have a supply of giant cupcake cases.
Choose the right material
Get the silicone cupcake cases if you foresee yourself using them for multiple times. The silicone material is naturally a non-stick material so this means clean up and prep time is a breeze. Note that the silicone cupcake cases are more expensive than your typical tin ones. If you will be doing this as a business, then it might be best to contact a cupcake cases wholesale supplier to help you get bulk discounts.
Choose the right design
Select the right type of design in your cupcake cases to make your theme even more evident. For example, if you are just making a cupcake bouquet as a gift to a friend, then maybe you are fine with plain green cupcake cases to mimic the color of the foliage.
If you are making cupcake centerpieces for a wedding, get wedding cupcake cases in the couple’s motif or in a bridal design (like hearts, bells or doves). If you are doing an Austin Powers party, then Union jack cupcake cases would really amp up the décor. Another way to further incorporate your theme into the cupcakes is to disguise the cupcake cases so that they are covered in leafy décor or ribbons. If you are planning to do this, then plain white cupcake cases will do.
Remember to think of the whole design of the cupcake bouquet or tower first. If possible, get some inspiration pegs from the Internet to help you visualize how the combination of the cupcake cases and actual cupcake décor can work.
Easy cupcake décor tips
A quick way to incorporate the theme into the cupcake is to use the color motif of the event. In the case of a product launch, use the brand’s logo’s primary colors as the cupcake frosting color and stick a logo of the brand on top of each cupcake. Make use of sprinkles, fruits, candy and chocolate to further decorate your cupcake. Serve them on towers for easy handling and increased visual impact for your guests.
