When you’re planning a wedding, the dessert table is one of those little details that can turn into a big project. A traditional cake often means renting plates, silverware, and servers to cut and pass slices. That adds both cost and logistics.
One of our favorite DIY-friendly solutions at Mitchell Grove is cupcakes. Couples can still have a small cake for the classic photo moment, but the rest of the dessert is served as individual cupcakes made from the same recipe. Guests simply grab one and enjoy—no plates, forks, or extra supplies required.
It’s a sweet option that keeps costs down, cuts down on stress, and still feels special. Plus, when family or friends pitch in to help with baking or pickup, it becomes another way the day is rich in people power.
