About Cupcake Weddings
Believe it or not, cupcake towers can take as much, if not more, time to prepare as a traditional wedding cake. There are also more parts to cupcake weddings- the stand, liners, sprinkles, decorations, sometimes even boxes or ribbons. Because your wedding cupcakes will be customized to your specifications, many parts are not on hand and must be ordered. Cupcake weddings must be booked as far in advance as a tiered wedding cake, usually 4-6 months depending on the time of year.Delivery and Setup
Delivery for cupcake weddings starts at $60 within 15 miles of the bakery, with an additional per mile fee from there. This fee includes all set up.We rent clear acrylic round or square stands. They are $50 to rent, with a $200 security deposit that is returned once the stand is back at the bakery. These stands hold around 70-140 cupcakes, depending on the number of tiers you want to use.
You are welcome to provide your own stand or use one from your caterer or venue. In these instances, since we will not be responsible for set up of the cupcake and cake, the normal neighborhood delivery charges apply- usually from $7-$20.
Additional Decorations
There are many design options and flavor possibilities for cupcakes. We recommend having 3-5 flavors so you provide variety while not sending your guests into a panic of indecision. These can all be decorated differently so your guests know the difference, or we can have one flavor per tier of the stand. We include colored wrappers, colored frosting, and sprinkles as part of the base price for cupcakes. There are various add ons to make your cupcakes more customized.Fondant flowers or other edible decorations- they are an additional $4-$20 per dozen depending on the complexity of the design.
Smooth iced and decorated cupcake start at $3.25 each ($40 per dozen). This includes cupcakes with smooth fondant tops.
Any additional ideas or add ons you want will be discussed at your tasting.
You may want a small cake to act as the top tier of the cupcake stand. This cake usually serves 6 people and mainly acts as something to cut during the reception, or to save for your 1 year anniversary. It is normally around $30.
