Cupcakes

Is anyone having cupcakes at their wedding instead of a traditional wedding cake? Would you mind sharing who you are using and why you love them? We did our first cupcake tasting this weekend. I want to do a few more for comparison but I'm a bit overwhelmed by the choices. And I'd like to keep it to $3 or less per cupcake. Thanks in advance.

Re: Cupcakes

  • I am doing a dessert bar.  It's a cupcake tower, candy bar, and other desserts.  I'm really excited.  I love sweets and my friends used the same company and it was amazing.  I am working with Christine at Amazing Arrangements.  She's also my event planner and florist so I got a discount for using her for everything.  But her cupcakes were $2 a piece and they tasted AMAZING!!!!!!  She has a selection of cupcakes to choose from but you can also request any flavor and she'll make it.  We are having her make us a nutella chocolate cupcake.  I am adding fondant accents which were about .50 per cupcake more I believe. I would check her out.  www.amazingarrangements.com Tell her Kaylee sent you :)  Good Luck!

  • We used Big Sugar bakeshop for our cupcakes and they were amazing.

    They might be a little over $3 now? Our wedding was two years ago and people still talk about them. :)

    <div>Thanks, I actually saw a few recommendations for Big Sugar bakeshop that were posted a few years ago. I emailed them last week but have not heard back yet. Hopefully I will hear from them soon. I want to try a few places to see the difference in cupcakes. </div>

  • I had a tasting with them as well as My Delight Cupcakery.  They tasted great as well, but I liked the taste and personal attention of Amazing Arrangements a lot better and the price was better.  It's good to sample others and meet with several vendors to find out which one best suits you.
  • If you go on facebook to "  cakes, cupcakes and cakepops by Ilian " she does a great job, tasty and awesome cake pops as well!! Love her work. She is doing my bridal shower:)

    </div><div>Kaylee, I am meeting with Amazing Arrangements in two weeks. I am really excited because so far she has been super sweet and amazing (I guess her business name is appropriate) just in her emails. And her prices are outstanding!! Thanks again for the referral!!</div>

  • I am still too far our but am considering Vons "Forever in Love" cupcake tower (without the red gum paste flowers) for my black and white wedding.  It's 107 cupcakes + a small cake top for cutting and it costs $250.

  • I met with Christine from Amazing Arrangements on Saturday and her cupcakes were delicious. She made us  dulce de leche, pumpkin, and chocolate peanut butter cupcakes to sample. She also made a chocolate pumpkin cake at my request, which she had never made before, it turned out great!  She is super affordable, answers emails quickly and has great ideas! We are definitely hiring her and I am going to have her do my flowers as well!!
