1 per guest is enough.

I wouldnt dare ask for a second, i wouldn't ask for a second main course or starter.

They do look yummy.

That's a really good price Naf, is it from a cupcake company/bakery/someone you know?

My friends mum is making them for me - yes a very good price. Most bakerys were charging about £2.50 upwards when I got quotes. xx

Mine are £1.50 per cake plus £15 for a top 'cutting' cake!

At the moment ours are costing £3 (£3.50 with lacy cupcake holders), but I'm getting my own stand and Mum's making the top cake, so she isn't getting any other profit from the day. We haven't started negotiating yet though.

Ladies - those cupcakes are beautiful!

Can I just say though, to anyone who's going to have the acryllic (self-assembly) stands, to be very, very careful about where they're placed and how they're put together!

I went to a wedding recently and the mum was putting the last few cakes onto the stand, which was on a table next to the DJ, and she knocked the whole ruddy lot down! It was awful. Really awful! It all went down like a house of cards!

The bride was distraught and was on her hands and knees picking up squished cakes from the floor! So, please ensure that your stand is firmly put together - I would even use glue to make sure?? - and that it's away from any areas of high traffic and that you don't let anyone too young or too doddery near it!
