Cupcakes

in Illinois-Chicago
Instead of the traditional wedding cake we are aiming to do cupcakes. The problem is that many bakeries only do the standard flavors: chocolate, vanilla, marble, red velvet, etc. We want some different & delicious cupcake flavors/frostings. 

Here is the problem. I only found one cupcake lady that has different flavors. We did like everything she had but the price was $1 per mini cupcake and since we need 400+ that is just more then a wedding cake would cost. 

Does anyone know of any good bakeries or at home bakers that have done weddings previously that can help me out. I want to find a better deal!!!

Thanks!!!

    A friend of mine who lives in Chicago and went to pastry school in Paris has just begun her own cafe after years of working for everyone else. Her sweeties are unbelievable and tell her that I recommended you and you may be favored upon! Good Luck:

    I'm sure they'd be way too expensive, but they'd give you good flavor ideas: Sprinkles Cupcakes. Their banana chocolate is incredible, so is their cinnamon :)
