Cupcakes

120 cupcakes

hi all, I need some advice (again!) from anyone who has done cupcake orders this big before…..
How did you set them up? Were they all on one stand or something else? Did you make your own stand, or rent one? Any advice for me at all lol?

Thanks in advance for your help!!

The most I’ve done have been 50 Karen. You can make your own stand/stands many ideas on Pinterest. Usually the bride has ideas for the set up. Whatever you decide, making your own, rental, you will have to pass the expense onto your price. If it’s rental, make sure you have a deposit for the full amount. Know stories where the rental stands weren’t returned and decorator was out $$$. Also, you really need to check out the venue and see where you will be setting up, and how they can accommodate your cupcakes.

Hi Karen, I have made that many cupcakes at a time. I just made over 150 for a swim team banquet. I always display them on a cupcake stand. Here is one that the bride purchased, and gave to me after the wedding. I now use it all the time, and just change out the scrapbook paper that I attach to the back with double sided sticky tape. You can also remove each of the tiers for when you are serving smaller amounts of cupcakes.

Here is a picture of the same cupcake stand with the large bottom tier removed, and the background paper and ribbon changed.

Thanks June and Tony for the reply! June- I havent yet checked out the venue, will def do that this weekend!!!

Tony- would you be able to tell me the diameter of each tier? And how many cupcakes were in the first pic in total (sorry to be a pain!!)

Hi Karen, I think this is the tower that Toni is showing you. I have one and it is a great stand. The site tells you dimensions and how many cupcakes fit on each configuration.

Karen, I had about 120 cupcakes on the stand, but if you use the top tier, and the below the bottom of the last tier, you could easily fit many more. The tier measurements are 10 inch, 16 inch, 22 inch, and 28 inch.

Hi Karen I’ve also done large cupcake orders. my cupcake stand can hold approx. 75 cupcakes, the balance are kept in boxes and the stand is replenished as needed..HTH :)

Hi Karen, you can also build your own using iced and ribboned cake drums and cake pillars. I’ve done it a few times and you can customise to your requirements. Easy to work out exactly what you need too by fiddling at home with various board sizes and cupcake cases til you have the configuration that suits. I secure the pillars and boards together using royal icing x
