I am getting married @ COF on April 12, 2013 I am wanting to have my reception at the Aria buffet but their cupcakes pp is $8.90 for my reception. I am not paying $9 for cupcakes. I was wondering if anyone knows of any buffet places that you can bring in outside food such as cakes. I dont want it catered by Masterpiece Cuisine they quoted me over $1k for 32 people.

I doubt there's any buffets that let you bring your own food....

We're going back to the room for cupcakes after dinner. Easier and cheaper that way for us!

Say ARIA buffet charges you $25 per person, which is a guess because I have no idea how much they really charge.  That's $800 per person without gratuity and tax, but another $144 for gratuity and another $64 for tax.  So you're over $1K either way and the Aria buffet doesn't have the best reviews on Yelp as far as taste goes.

Masterpiece's quote is a little more than $31 per person without having to worry about tax and gratuity.  The food will probably be better I can almost guarantee.

That said, some venues will let you bring in your own food for a service charge or cake cutting fee if you don't go with their preferred vendor.  So after paying that it might put you back up there for $9 a slice of cake/cupcake.
