Cupcake Towers

ok so I love Sprinkles cupcakes...never had them here but I have in NY.  I read a few reviews on here about them being dry?  Has anyone had any good experiences with Sprinkles in Scottsdale?  Anyone use them for their wedding? 

Also any other suggestions for cupcakes here in AZ?  I would love a cupcake tower as opposed to the traditional wedding cake.

Thanks!

    We did a tasting at Sugar Lips Cakery...  they were really good.  They had a cupcake design drawn up for us that was pretty cool!  We really were set on a teir cake though, so we didn't book them for the cupcakes, but they do them for sure.

    Piece of Cake Desserts also does cupcakes, although I don't think as often.  Their cake tasted WAY better than any other tasting that we had though, and we did like 5 or 6.

    There's a newer bakery in Phoenix called "cake cafe". Its on ray rd right off the 10 freeway. I stummbled in there one day and got a cupcake. It was very tasty. The lady that owns the place seemed really sweet. I also like "nothing bundt cakes" They are in LA too and i ended up passing buy right after i bought the cupcake i mentioned. They are in the same area. I think across the street from each other. They are good too.

    Honestly, I had a cake tasting at Sugar Lips Cakery yesterday and their cupcakes were dry, and just... bleh....

    Lots of cake decorators make cupcake towers.

    I am getting my cupcakes through Our Lady of Cupcakes.  They are a small business- and their cupcakes are AMAZING.  I wasn't originally planning on doing cupcakes, as I'm not a big fan- but after tasting these, well- I did a total 180.  Here's the website:



    They have their flavors, plus any customizing that you want.

    I did a cupcake tower and LOVED it. I got mine through Phoenix Cake Company who overall was very good. Our cupcakes were quite yummy!! She also made a surprise grooms cake for my husband which was fantastic. She was recommended to us by our venue and we found out she also did Rihanna's bday cake!

    The Wedding Gods may cringe at the thought but we are actually getting our cupcakes from Safeway and making our own cupcake tower out of wood! I just love Safeway's buttercream frosting...Mmmmm....and it came to about $80 for 7 dozen and a 8" cake for the top of the tower for me and FI to enjoy and save for our anniversary!

    Great idea @tarynmichelle. Nothing wrong with that at all. If it's what you love go for it

    Sprinkles - Good, but unfortunately, overrated.

    Piece of Cake Desserts - Great! We booked them for your cupcake tower and cake topper. They are going to have white fondant and clusters of pink fondant flowers. Fondant can taste gross really fast, but there's was GREAT and so was their cake!

    And for about the same price as Sprinkles, you get custom cupcakes and delivery & setup with Piece of Cake.

    Cupcake Tower / Tree:

    We ordered ours from here and I'm going to decorate it. You can give it to Piece of Cake and they will set it up for you and everything (if you don't want to rent a tower).

    Have a great time Cupcake Hunting!!
