What supplies do you need to make Wedding Cupcakes?
12-cup muffin pan My suggestion for the cupcake liners is to visit a local baking supply shop where you live. They should carry a good, white liner that won’t have the cupcake turning out greasy. Edible sugar pearls large plastic disposable pastry bags for piping the frosting For icing the cupcakes, I recommend trying either the Wilton Open Star 1M tip or the Wilton Closed Star 2D. Both of these you can usually find at craft or baking supply stores. Or just order a whole decorator tip kit and try out different ones! These disposable cupcake boxes are great… because you can bake and decorate your cupcakes, then store them in the boxes and refrigerate them overnight!
This White Wedding Cake Cupcakes recipe has been featured in a post on The Recipe Girl blog, with more photographs and information on the decorator tips that were used and which icing recipe is best (Wedding Cupcake Buttercream) and How to Make Wedding Cupcakes. Go there for all of the answers to your questions about details on what tips were used for the frosting etc. I’m not usually one to use a boxed cake mix and doctor it up. I’m much more accustomed to using entirely homemade recipes. But these turn out delicious, moist and fluffy cupcakes- perfect for holding buttercream frosting. It’s crazy, but it’s true!
Tips for baking the best White Wedding Cake Cupcakes:
As you can see from the photo, the cupcakes lay pretty flat on top and don’t rise into a mound like some cupcakes. This is a good thing, actually. You want those cupcakes to have a flat layer so there is a nice, flat base for piping frosting on top. Don’t fret if the tops of the cupcakes appear to be slightly moist. That’s okay! Just cover them with your buttercream frosting, and all will be fine. For best results, look for white cupcake papers from a real baking supply store. They’ll have the best products, and that is where I buy the papers that I use. This recipe has been pinned more than one million times by RecipeGirl readers, and the recipe has been made by thousands and thousands of people. I receive so many happy emails from brides who chose to use this recipe for their wedding. It’s that good!

Yes! This recipe can also be used to make wedding cake. I made cupcakes for the wedding- plus a mini cake for the bride and groom to take home and keep. I used the same Wedding Cupcake Buttercream for the cake too. It pipes beautifully! See the links below for the Wedding Cake and Wedding Cupcake Buttercream links! I’ve made larger cakes by doubling the recipe, and I’ve made mini cakes– as pictured.
