cupcake cases

[bron11]

Hi, what size of cupcake cases do I use, muffin or smaller cake cases � cupcakes to be used for alternative wedding cake?

Is this a wedding cake made up of cup cakes?

A wedding I went to recently had these little cakes instead of a wedding cake (and what a brilliant idea that was !) and they used the little cake size cases. They had them arranged on a multi-tier stand and they all got eaten - simply because they were just each a couple of bites of light sponge with a delicate icing, rather than a wedge of heavy fruit cake with thick marzipan and half inch of solid icing ! I can't imagine however, that it really matters which size is used though.... you will obviously get more (but smaller) cakes with the little ones.

Hi bron/ jugglering!
I have seen these new alternative cakes! Ye, I would agree with jugglering regards cake case size. Smaller cake cases will feed more guests & would probably stack up in to an easier mound. Also, depending on the ingredients used cheaper!
