Cupcake recommendations

katehabicht

Looking for a recommendation for cupcakes in the Dallas area. Will probably need aroound 250. Any places you loved and do you remember the cost per cupcake? Thanks!

I think D magazine rates Society Bakery's cupcakes as the best.  I've never had them, but I have had their cake and it is delicious.  Not sure of the cost.

Edited: actually, it isn't rated the best by D Magazine, but it is still super yummy.

Edited again: The Dallas Observer rated them best cupcake

I don't remember the cost but I know Panini Bakery makes them because that was my original idea to do cupcakes and I called them--but it ended up being to difficult to find a cupcake tower, so I went with a cake with Ruth Robbins.

Most cake people do cupcakes too, so don't limit yourself to cupcake bakeries, which can also be pricey. You can always do a cake tasting. Yums.

My baker, the Cake Guys does them.  Their website says "wedding cupcakes" are $3 each--but I wonder if you could get away with just saying they are for a party, in which case they are $2 each. It also says they offer discounts after 10 dozen.

They sell cupcakes for $1 M-F from 3-6 and all day on Saturday at the Uptown location.  That would be a good way to try them and see if you like them.  I've had them and thought they were delicious, better than Society.

I'm actually not a huge fan of Society (fighting words, I know).
I would do a regular baker, like the ones girls use for their cakes, and price them for cupcakes. I feel like a cupcake boutique will just overcharge.

Ditto this. While I love me some Sugar Box and Sprinkles- they are just so darn expensive. A regular baker might be able to give you a lower cost and do just as great work!

The Cupcakery in Uptown also in Frisco, I think is amazing! Edit: I forgot that punctuation doesn't work on mobile.

Society is by far my favorite. Sprinkles always seems too dry, like it's already 3 days old when I buy it.

</div><div>This.  I'm a huge cake/cupcake snob though so there's that.  Society wins in my book by a landslide.  I don't think Cake Guys charges much less than Society, but they are a good option as well.  Otherwise, check with Ruth Robbins.  We love our wedding cakes that she did for us!</div>

I've had many a wedding cupcake and my ABSOLUTE favorite is GiGis cupcakes.  They pack on the icing and they are all sooo moist.  It's phenomenal.

...And now I'm hungry for cupcakes.

Society is amazing-- they get my vote. It sounds like you need to schedule some taste testing just to be sure.

When I contacted Society, they are no longer doing weddings. I did find the most amazing place tho...Sugar Queen Cupcakes! They have locations in Plano, Frisco, Lake Dallas, and Denton. Her cupcakes are huge and 27.50/dozen. But if you order 5 doz you get a doz free! Check out her website & do a tasting. I promise you won't be disappointed! I don't even eat sweets & I am in love! Also, I have a coworker just starting out her business. She's on Facebook & it's called Classic Cravings. I plan on having her for my rehearsal. Good luck!

I love cupcakes cubed in Frisco and Gigi's. They are both amazing. In semi related news, did anyone hear Kidd Kraddick talking about cupcakes yesterday AM? I was craving one SO bad after driving to work!
