How Many Cupcakes for a Wedding
A simple count before you order a wedding box or a tier.
Count guests who will eat dessert, not the whole invitation list. Children usually take one. A lot of adults take one and leave half.
The numbers
If there is a cutting cake as well, order one cupcake a guest. If cupcakes are the only dessert, order one and a half. Mini cupcakes are smaller, so use two minis where you would have used one full cupcake.
A box of 12 is a starting order, not a wedding. A full tier is quoted to the guest count, the colours and the date. Weddings need about a week, not a next-day slot.
Stands
We do not sell cupcake stands. Hire the stand, and we deliver the cupcakes. They need to be eaten the day they arrive.
