Cupcakes

Marcia, on October 10, 2019 at 1:48 PM Posted in Planning 0 15
I’m having cupcakes instead of the standard wedding cake. Which would be better...mini cupcakes or standard size? I want to do a variety of flavors so I was thinking mini so people could try one of each. My mother said regular would be better.

    I would prefer standard size! I just think it would look nicer in my opinion. If people wanted to try different flavors, they could always go halfsies with their date Smiley smile

    Although I like the standard size cupcake, in terms of a dessert serving, I really like the idea of mini cupcakes in many different flavors, so guests can sample more than one!! Just remember you'll want to have two or three times as many minis, since they are so much smaller.

    I agree with Amber, standard size will look nicer. We are doing cupcakes too! What flavors are you having? We are having vanilla with blueberry filing, chocolate with mint, red velvet and carrot cake!

    I like mini ones so that they'd be in many flavors

    While the regular size cupcakes may look nicer I think the minis are more appropriate so that people can try more than one flavor

    Standard. We had 2.5 standard sized cupcakes per person at our wedding and had maybe 12 leftover at the end of the night.

    We’re doing both cake and cupcakes. We’re using regular size cupcakes.

    I forgot to add that we had 6 flavors, and looots of guests took and at 2 full cupcakes, or got a bunch for the table and shared to try them all. I would err on the side of too many (you can always take them home and freeze them!!!! yum!)

    If you’re doing multiple (4+) favors. I’d go for mini so, everyone can have at least 2 and come out with a whole. If you’re only doing 2 flavors, I’d go for regular.

    I would do mini and provide 2.5-3 bites per person. That's what we did with our dessert bar, we had mini cupcakes, brownies, cookies, and mini peach pies!
