The long, sweet history of the wedding cake is a mix of traditions, dreams and changing tastes. So it's no surprise that cupcakes are playing a major role in the latest version of this multi-tiered, frosting-swirled world.
Call it Wedding Cake 2.0.
Dozens of cupcakes - tiered on decorated stands or arrayed on a table, often in a variety of flavors, colors and embellishments - let bridal couples personalize the celebratory sweet.
"The whole trend in weddings in general is to make it personal," said Darcy Miller, editorial director for Martha Stewart Weddings.
The ultimate personal touch? Cupcakes you bake and decorate yourself.
