cup cake's

We're having a cup cake tower as our wedding cake - ive bought individual cake boxes and have had round stickers done with our names and the wedding date on with a small picture of a cupcake on.

I want to put a card on the cake table saying to help yourself or take one home but a bit fancier than that - has any one any idea's of wording?

thanks for help!

    I'd maybe just do an Alice in Wonderland style notice saying 'EAT ME'.

    I think your guests would get the message!

  • I had cupcakes, bought an ornate frame at TK Maxx that was kind of on a pedestal. Downloaded some nice font, printed off something like:

    Vanilla Ice Cream Cupcakes,
    please help yourself,
    hand made by Maggie

    In our wedding colours on some nice card. The frame was kind of similar to this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-pedestal-floral-picture-frame-/190599810085?pt=UK_Photo_Frames_Display&hash=item2c60a24c25#ht_500wt_1287

    I left it at the venue though! :( Was gutted, wanted to keep it in the house.
  • When you har a cup cake tower do you still have a cutting cake? If not what do you do instead of cutting the cake?

  • How about keep calm and eat a cupcake? Or love is sweet please take a treat :)

    They have signs ready made on ebay if you search for 'candy buffet'. Theres also some that say a little yummy for your tummy x

  • Quite often I've noticed people have a tall 6" cake at the top of their cupcake tower so they can do a "cut", and I have seen people do them with large cupcakes.

    We didn't bother, I never fancied doing a cake-cutting pose.
  • Maybe ask one of your bridesmaids to pack some cupcakes for people and also have a sign saying FREE CUPCAKES.
    And have some boxes ready for people to take their own.

    Or do what people do at a birthday party. Have the cupcakes ready at the end of the night and pass them out to people when they leave!
    You could put them in a box, then in a party bag with a bit of confetti in.
