Save Money by Using Wedding Cupcakes

If you are a bride or groom and you have researched wedding cakes in your area, you probably found out that they can be very expensive! Especially in California, cakes can cost from $4 to $15 or more per person. But the cost doesnt end there. If you are having your wedding reception at a hotel or event center, or if you are using a private caterer, they will most likely charge you a cake-cutting fee ranging from $1 to $2.50 per person to cut your wedding cake and serve it. So if you have a modest wedding of 75 guests, expect to pay around $400 to $1200 for your cake (and that is not including delivery fees!).

Many brides are asking themselves why they need to spend so much on a wedding cake that most guests either wont eat or just nibble on?

With a cupcake wedding cake you can still have the gorgeous look of a wedding cake (view our cupcake photo gallery for beautiful examples of wedding cupcakes), but without the expensive price. And if guests dont feel like eating a cupcake at the reception, they can easily pick one up on their way out and enjoy it at home.

Cupcakes will save you money in your wedding budget:

- Professionally made cupcakes range in price from $2-4

- Caterers, hotels, event centers don't charge cake cutting fees for cupcakes because there is nothing to cut! (be sure to confirm this with your wedding planner or caterer)

- Deliver fees for cupcakes are often much cheaper because they are easier to transport than a large wedding cake

- You can make your cupcakes yourself or have a relative make them, which is much easier and less expensive than making a wedding cake
