Go Green even with your Wedding Cupcakes
No, I’m not saying have “green” wedding cupcakes. Unless you like green, then hey, go whole hog. I’m saying that you can have beautiful wedding cupcakes, gorgeously presented, and be environmentally conscious as well. There are a few companies that make festive wedding cupcake stands that clean up with minimal impact on the environment. Read on if you think you’d like your wedding cupcakes a littler “greener”…
Cupcaketree.com appeals to the green wedding movement
Niles, MI (March 9, 2009) /PRNewswire/ — The Cupcaketree has emerged as a leading product for environmentally conscious brides who desire greener weddings. Concerned with the waste created by more traditional weddings, these brides are using “mindful indulgence” as their guide in choosing more eco-friendly products. One product that appeals to this green wedding movement is the corrugated cardboard cupcake stand manufactured by Cupcaketree.com (http://www.cupcaketree.com)
“Our original Cupcaketree already is the cupcake stand of choice,” says Cupcaketree.com co-owner Judy Truesdell, who with her daughter Meg Truesdell, started the business in 2001. Sold under the trade name The Cupcaketree, the cupcake stand is completely recyclable, convenient and affordable – all important eco-friendly features for the green wedding movement, according to Truesdell.
The Michigan-based company made a business decision early on to use corrugated cardboard for environmental purposes. “We knew that the corrugated industry insisted on reforestation and recycling in order to be responsible stewards of the environment,” says Truesdell. An added benefit is the stand’s light weight, which helps keep delivery costs down, according to Truesdell. Along with designing this innovative cupcake stand for wedding cupcakes, the company is one of the first manufacturers of this unique product. Cupcaketrees have been shipped to every state and internationally to 15 countries.
Premiering Spring 2009 Cupcaketree.com will introduce the square cupcaketree. “Our brides are always looking for something different and we have had many requests for a square cupcaketree,” Truesdell said. “While the round cupcake stands have been extremely popular, the square cupcaketree brings a fresh approach to cupcake stands.” They will be offered in two sizes, the large that holds up to 300 cupcakes and the mini that holds up to 100 cupcakes.
Although the corporate office of Cupcaketree.com is located in Niles, MI, the actual “trees” are manufactured in Sturgis, MI. The company has had several offers to expand its production offshore, but Truesdell says that local manufacturing in the USA is central to the company philosophy. “Using local sources to manufacture our products is just good business sense,” says Truesdell. “Not only does it help stimulate the economy, it helps keep jobs right here in Michigan.
