It seems that cupcakes are " the next big thing " icon_lol.gif in the cake world. I am going to be doing a cupcake wedding cake in september. I have been looking all over the net for different ideas. I think a cupcake category on here would be awesome. I would love to get input on servings for a wedding. I am thinking at least 1.5 cupcakes per person. Is that enough? Is it too much? This will be a cocktail party reception with only about 50% seating and 90% "pick up" foods. I love this site!!! thumbs_up.gif

I think that is too much. I would figure 1 cupcake per serveing. The point of a cake for a wedding is not really to server as a dessert as much as it is just something sweet to taste. If the bride wanted to order more i think that would be up to her but for wedding cupcakes I charge for the same as I do per serving for a wedding cake. I am acutally doing a cupcake wedding in august. It will be 400 cupcakes and 6" inch cake to cut.

I think a cupcake category would be great! I made a post a few days ago on what people charge per dozen...however I did not get any replies. I am getting more cupcake orders and never no what to charge per dozen. I had an order for 2 1/2 dozen cupcakes and an 8 in. square cake this weekend and ended up charging 35.00. But I would like to quote a price on what I charge per dozen on the cupcakes...any feedback would be great!!!! Thanks!!! icon_smile.gif

I just did a cupcake wedding yesterday and let me tell you it was fun but more time consuming than an actual cake! Start on Wednesday cooking and icing them, trust me!!!! There is a website from the UK that shows some wonderful cupcake weddings that might help out with the visual part. Good luck to you all on your wedding cupcakes!!! A cupcake category would be nice! Gingoodies here is the site i mentioned. http://www.cakes4fun.co.uk/

Tina.. thanks for that website.. those cupcake towers are awesome. I have already done large orders of cupcakes for Maidenform (we have one of their offices/factories here in our town) they ordered 250 cupcakes with a logo and flower on them and another order of 300 cupcakes. This will be my first cupcake wedding though.

since the trend is leaning towards cupcakes, a category for it would be great... Wilton's new yearbook has a lotta cupcake ideas too icon_smile.gif

I think a cupcake catagoy would be great. I have put a couple of my cupcake flowers in the gallery under wedding cakes, then go to mini cakes. It would be great for cupcakes to have their own place of "glory"

Here is a category for cupcake cakes. I don't see it as an option under galleries, but I do see it when uploading pics.
