Sometimes. It's not unusual to have just the top layer of a wedding cake with the wedding cupcakes.

Yes, but you would have to use a substitute ingredient or esle the cake would be too dry and floury to eat.

You can substitute with margarine, but other then that no.
The cupcakes will be over cooked. Ovens cook from the outside in and the diameter of a cupcake is much less than a cake so the cupcakes cook faster. This answer is based on years of baking cakes and cupcakes.
I would ask your friends and family for recommendations. Someone may offer to help you by baking your cake for you. Another idea would be to do several tiers of cupcakes arranged to look like a single cake! That would give you lots of options for frosting and even different cake flavors, and it would be much cheaper than finding a professionally done wedding cake.
Yes, and cake batter for cupcakes as well.
The bride doesn't have to have a wedding cake at the reception if she doesn't want one and can serve other desserts, but it's tradition and the first cut of a wedding cake is made by the bride with the groom's hand over hers to cut the first slice. If it's a matter of money a two to three tiered cake can be made (most wedding cakes are anywhere from chocolate cake; white cakes; carrot cakes, etc. and wedding cake stands for each tier can be bought at Michael Crafts or any craft store) and then taken to a bakery for the icing. To save more money the cake can be decorated by the person who baked it once iced with some fresh flowers instead of flowers made from icing. In fact, if the bride's mother or any relative is good at baking they can make the cake, ice it and then decorate it with the flowers.
My grandmother told me I can omit the oil called for in cake mixes if I sift the cake mix. I tried this when making cupcakes in an ice cream cone. It worked very well and the cones did not get soggy the next day like they did when I used the oil.
She loves cupcakes, I guess I can consider that as cake.
For Goodness Cake!
Cupcakes are made with a plain or fancy cake recipe. What makes them cupcakes is the pan that they're baked in, called a cupcake (or muffin) pan. The only difference between cake and cupcakes is the size and shape of the cake and the difference in baking time (the smaller units bake faster than a full size cake). See the links below for some basic recipes.
