Cupcake Flavors- few or many

We need a total of 10dz cupcakes.

we are deciding between doing 4dz each of two flavors (one chocolate based, one vanilla based) and 2dz of a fun flavor, or doing 2dz each of 5 different flavors for variety. none would be weird or outlandish, all should appeal to a large variety of people.

which is typically preferred? i’m trying to keep our bias out of it since we’re not eating any (we have a small cutting cake).

I would ask your vendor what their most popular flavors are. If you are making them on your own then keep it simple.

Personally I like the idea of the 4dz of the basic flavors along with the 2dz of the fun flavors. Wouldn't that just be 6 dz? Maybe to half in basic flavors and half in fun flavors?

Sorry- 4dz chocolate based, 4dz vanilla based, 2dz fun

right now it’s choclate peanut butter, boston cream, and then raspberry lemonade.

the problem is in order to do an “out of season” flavor, we have to do 4dz minimum.

I love a variety of flavors, but the problem is, the more flavors the more cupcakes needed because people will want to try several flavors. H and I share the different flavors, but sometimes we'll still try three between the two of us.

Are there enough fun flavors that are in season? Honestly the chocolate PB and Boston Cream sound the best. I think my FH would like raspberry lemonade but I am not sure I would be brave enough to try it.

We are doing five different flavors at ours so our guests have a variety to choose from. We also allotted 2 per person so they could try two kinds or take one home.

Yes, two regular size. Mostly because FH has quite a few people on his side who would eat more than their two andothers will only eat one so it will work out. Then we’ll have boxes for people to take home if they want to.

Thanks for all the input! after chatting with the cupcakery about their top flavors, we went with:

4dz Neopolitan (best seller)
4dz Pink Champagne (most popular wedding flavor)
2dz Raspberry Lemonade (my fiancé wont marry me unless he has this one)

they all have some sort of pink so will go together nicely. can’t wait!

I went to a wedding where the couple had four different flavors to choose from. It was awesome. We are actually thinking about doing it too. Our caterer said that we may need to order more cupcakes as people may want to try more than one cupcake.
