Rojak's Guide to Wedding Preparation Part 2 - cupcakes

My wedding is finally over and I am glad that everything (almost) had went well.

Since I love anything that is cute, I was really hoping to have loads of custom-made cutesie cup cakes. As I was compiling cup cakes quotation, I was really aghast on how expensive this silly cup cakes can be.

Still I am very amazed how creative they can be.

Cup cakes from bunsintheoven:

I am not sure how much exactly these are because when I enquired, here is what they responded:

Hi Elle,
Thanks for your enquiry, it's great to hear from you.

Congratulations on your big day and thank you for considering BITO as your vendor.

Unfortunately I am not able to take your order as my schedule for that period is already full.

Sincere apologies.

Cheers,

Besides Bunsintheoven, I also checked with the more popular Cupcake Chic.

I have asked for the quotation of 100pcs, rental of a tier stand and favor boxes.

Design 1 - customisable plate, replace Mcd logo with your own design

Design 2 & 3

(photos which I took from Delectable by Su @ The Garden  

They are selling 3 cupcakes at RM28 o.O

This was the quotation that I got:

33 x RM5.50 = RM 181.50 (Design 1 -customised logo)

34 x RM6 = RM204 (Design 2 - heart shape)

33 x RM8 = RM 264 (Design 3 - ribbon)

100 x RM1.40 = RM140 (Favor boxes)

1 (7-tier stand) x RM100 = RM100 (Rental)
Total = RM889.50! exclusive delivery charges summore

I have even checked another home based cake shop that my friend recommended but the price is only slightly cheaper.

Here's the contacts:

doreen's house no: 03-7710 2580

Here's the design that I really wanted to do but couldn't find anyone that can replicate:

Well, that's all for now. All the info just for cupcakes. At the end, I have decided to scrap the idea cuz I think it's not worth it. All the money just to "syok sendiri" because guests in general won't appreciate this, I think. Imagine if half of your guests left your cupcakes/favor on the table

Though the cup cakes are not cheap, I think it would still be really sweet to send a box of customised cup cakes to your friends on their wedding or special occassions. :)
