I have a request for cupcakes for a wedding. The bride wants one 8" decorated cake and the the rest cupcake tower. Do you condsider one cupcake a serving?. She only wants to serve 50 guests so I want to make sure about the quantity. Also have never done cupcakes before so any advise on what to charge for this ensemble would be greatly appreciated. TIA
I include a 6" round for the top of the cake stand if they want a cutting cake. Frankly it's what fits the stand AND it's plenty of cake.
Then as for cupcakes, I always advise to order 125% of the RSVP "yessses."

And I think that if you have more than one flavor of cupcakes, you might need to make even more because people might want to taste each flavor. I made 12 different flavors for our kids' graduation party, and one relative ate nine cupcakes because he wanted to taste all of the flavors that he thought he would like out of the 12 flavors I made. But it was a casual event, and he loves cupcakes!
I figure 1.5 cupcakes per person. I just did cupcakes this past weekend for a party and personally observed one guest taking no less than 4 cupcakes at one time. Granted, there were a number of different flavors to choose, but cupcakes are that kind of thing that people feel free to have more than one!
Definitely average between 1.25 and 1.50 per guest and round up to the nearest dozen, if they're planning on multiple flavors.
