Cupcakes have become the new coolest trend since poodle accessories, and we just can’t get enough of them. Buttercream, coconut, or red-velvet? How about martini? These adorable martini-style cupcakes are great mini desserts to serve at your cocktail or dessert reception.

If you’re willing to forgo the alcohol (or at least some of it), it’s a great trade-off that can save you a little green on real cocktails. Consider having a dessert hour between your ceremony and reception instead of the usual cocktail hour. I have been to a wedding where the couple did this and all the guests love it!

Most bakeries will be able imitate a design based off of photos. Or better yet, get with your preferred cake designer to come up with your own interpretation. Custom cupcakes can cost anywhere from $3-$5 a piece. Ask your wedding cake provider or local bakery for details.
