you can't go wrong with either...cake is traditional and cupcakes are fun! i am sure your guests will love either.
I had cupcakes but I think they looked really elegant and beautiful, we then gave them to the guests as favours in little perspex boxes.

@simpleandchic: Mmm yummy and pretty.
FI doesn't really like cake so we're having a tier of cheese for our cake. But, because I do like cake we're having cupcakes for people to take away in red boxes as favours as simpleandchic: also did.
We are going with cupcakes because 1-they are cheaper than a wedding cake (at least among the bakeries I have seen) and 2-my fiance and I have a tradition of finding a cupcake shop in any new city that we visit.
we're doing cupcakes, mini cobblers, and cider doughnuts arranged as a tiered cake (fall wedding near apple orchards). i like that you can have a variety of flavors for people to easily choose from with cupcakes. you can also have a small cake for you to cut, if you wanted.
We were going to do cupcakes, but when we met with the chef at the venue he suggested croquembouche. It was beautiful and uniquie!
We did a cake - but if I could do it over again I think we would do cupcakes with a small cake on top for our toppers!
I'm gluten free so we're doing a two tier gluten free cake for us and regular cupcakes for everyone else. Cupcakes usually are less expensive since the baker doesn't have to factor in the construction of the cake.
I say cake. I just can't get behind the whole wedding cupcake thing, although it does work for some morning or daytime weddings. To me, cupcakes seem more appropriate for a kids birthday party or a shower than a wedding. They're extremely popular now, though, so I know many people out there disagree!
I am having a cake (no fondant) but my sister had cupcakes with a small cake for them to cut, similar to what simpleandchic: posted.
@simpleandchic: This display is SO pretty!
I'm planning on cupcakes here.
I think we'll be doing cake, but going with something relatively light (not a fondant fan either). We're hoping to go with King's Hawaiian in Torrance; their prices are great, and the cake is more of a Chinese bakery style (sponge cake with whipped cream style icing). Plus FH is from Hawaii so we'd love to do some funky flavor from there, like the haupia (coconut pudding) filling.
Personally I am a HUGE cupcake fan! So I would love these at my own wedding. But why not have the best of both worlds?
Cupcakes, only because we are making them ourselves and I don't want a huge cake leftover. I hate cake....and cupcakes too, actually...ha...can I get an ice cream cake? LOL
I love to bake so I am making my cake (fondant masterpiece) but I love how fun cupcakes are soo..... I am having cupcakes in my candy buffet. That way cake at the reception and cupcakes to take home and continue to celebrate.
@mrslamb2be: we did both!! a 6" cake and 50 cupcakes!! It cost 100.00 and everyone loved it!

I personally don't like cupcakes, I would much rather use a fork and eat a slice of cake. But I absolutely love the look of them they can be set up so pretty =)
Cupcakes + mini top cake. And if he wants one, we might have a groom's cake. Something for everyone. :)
We did mini cupcakes. Neither of us are huge fans of wedding cake (GOOD wedding cake seems few and far between). We did mini cupcakes so people could try a a variety of flavors if they wanted. Also, and this didn't bother me a bit, if people need to leave early (with young kids) they could just grab a cupcake on the way out...they didn't have to wait for the official "cutting".
I think it depends on your wedding. Are you having the reception during the day? Is it a formal venue, etc. I say if you're going very formal, cake would be more fitting. Ours is a lunchtime reception at the beach, so we're doing ice cream cupcakes from Cold Stone, with a small tier on top for us to cut.
@MzMarzipan: Those are gorgeous! I do like the minis idea so people can have a variety.
@sfchick: Yeah, we really like their cake (and their pricing, which is pretty much in line with cupcakes on a per serving basis), now just have to talk to them about the logistics and cost of delivery to Pasadena. A good friend's brother had their guava chiffon for his wedding cake, and she said it turned out great. We've got Porto's in mind as our backup if King's doesn't work for some reason, also good reviews and good pricing.
Both!
Hopefully - a "proper" wedding cake at the church (we're hoping to have extra guests at the church who won't be at the reception) and cupcakes on the centre pieces at the reception. Possibly :)
We are debating between cupcakes and cake pops. We may go with cupcakes and put cake pops on the candy/cookie bar.
Cupcakes and cake. Then the cupcakes doubles as favors when out into boxes. Half the price of a 3 tiered cake.
