A wedding cupcake tree can be made of metal, plastic, cardboard, glass and even wood.

The ones we have seen can be anywhere from three to seven tiers and can hold anywhere from 23 to 200 cupcakes.

Many of the cupcake tree stands have a top tier that can hold a small cake to be used for the cake cutting ceremony.

You can also use a cupcake tree stand to hold and display other foods such as pastries, petit fours, finger sandwiches and other foods.

Imagine a cupcake tree holder with cupcakes decorated in red and green icing as the centerpiece of your holiday dessert table. Or how about cupcakes decorated to match a bride’s wedding color scheme.

Cupcakes decorated in pink and blue arranged on cupcake tree holders would be a big hit at any baby shower.

There is a blog online where a lady uses a Martha Stewart chocolate cupcake recipe and a white butter cream icing decorated in honor of Martha Stewart’s recent release from jail, with black stripes. She calls it the Camp Cupcake, a pseudonym for the Virginia jail.

However if you run a camp or your children will be attending a camp this summer, try decorating cupcakes with the camp logo or get tiny canoes, tents, etc. from a party store and top the cupcakes with those. You could also cut rolled fruit and create tents. If it is a theme camp, such as baseball or soccer or riding camp, then use that theme to decorate your cupcakes. Use cupcake papers that match the camp colors.

You can’t go wrong if you choose a cupcake tree filled with delicious treats for your next event.
