Catering With Cupcakes

Party planning and execution is always an important task. Nobody who ever throws a “function” would ever want to be remembered as a dull host or hostess. Lasting impressions are important. In many parties and events, the most memorable items tend to be food. However, food can be a tricky thing to pull off correctly. Many people have different tastes; one persons love of spice, for example, can be another person’s horrific mouth-scorching experience. Sweets are often the middle ground with the least amount of risk. Plus, when it comes to dessert items, it really is hard to beat a cupcake.

There are many ways to incorporate them into an events catering. Some bakeries will offer wholesale cupcake boxes, while others may require a party planner to stand in a check out line with people out for a small snack and a cup of coffee. Still, whether bought wholesale or home baked, another effective method is to use cupcake boxes and inserts. Even if bought, these can be personalized to the specific event.

There is another benefit that always comes with cupcakes. They allow a wider sense of variety. If a guest doesn’t like chocolate frosting, they can try the vanilla ones. Not a fan of yellow cake? Go to the plate featuring the carrot cake cupcakes. This way, guests can find something that suits their particular tastes.

Cupcakes also minimize the potential for waste. Regular cakes always means half-eaten left overs. At then end of an event, a host could possibly be left with half a red velvet cake, as well as a quarter of a pound cake. The bigger the cake, the more of a trouble. Most people will eat their entire cupcake, and if they do not want any more, they will not take any. There is no need for knives and cutting at all. Left overs can simply go back into the boxes, be given away, or taken home.

Whether you are using cupcakes or something a little more complicated, the goal is always to have a great party. There are many ways to achieve that end. Cupcakes are only just one possibility.
