I agree. That's why I said, "more intricate cakes in this style, with a white "pot" and appropriate flower colors."

No. This defeats the purpose.

When you and the bride cut the cake, folks will grab their little cupcakes and will be all into it. I am on a permanent, never ending wedding circuit these days and nobody wants to eat the boring sheet cake cut by the bride/groom. In fact, some people even think the cake they're eating isn't even cut by them but instead, the kitchen has a bunch of slices they start handing out on cue after the cutting. Cupcakes -- *sniff*. Fringey where are you?

Even though the bride is stacked, I'm gonna say no on the cupcake concept. I don't like it at all, even though I love cupcakes.
