Wedding Cakes in Cabo

[YLANMUI]

I adore cupcakes! In fact, they are my favorite dessert. Frequently I get cupcake cravings at night and have to go to one of the local bakeries here and get them!

 

I was also totally set for getting cupcakes for my wedding ... BUT when I asked the hotel how much it would be, they said it would be MORE expensive than the cake!!!! I was in disbelief. I tried to negotiate them down but no luck. (I don't even remember the number now, it was so long ago.) But I was really disappointed and am just going ot have a regular cake b/c it's cheaper.

has anyone been to the Costco in Cabo to see if they have cupcakes... I wonder if they do. I'm sure they would be reasonably priced and it sounds like they would be pretty delicious too!

kashmira,

 

have you thought of having a small cake just for symbolic reasons to make your dad happy...so you can cut it and do whatever but then give out cupcakes to guests...

I think we're doing cupcakes, as well as petit fours, and mini cheesecakes.

 

Jennifer Hatton quoted me $3 each for the cupcakes, and $4 each for the cheesecakes.

$3 a cupcake seems very reasonable! If you have a chance could you send me her contact info? You can post it here, send me a private message or send it to my username at hotmail dot com. That would be wonderful!

Ylan, will they let you bring cupcakes in from the outside?

i love cupcakes too...before the wedding i was "dieting" and working out like a maniac..BUT not losing any weight...i started fraking out at my trainer about how i was always starving but not losing any weight so he had me write down everything i was eating...

i would complain to my hubby as well...when steve saw the list he totally started laughing....he said i ate dessert with everymeal thats why i wasnt losing any weight. he also told me he found the chocolate cupcake wrappers in the car...he totally busted me...this bakery near my work has the yummiest black tie cupcakes...chocolate w/ cream cheese frosting...yummy....

I love the idea Kashmira! And the example posted is beautiful with the tray & the flower embelishment.

 

You are totally right - nobody ever eats the cake at weddings! I'll admit I only ever have a bite just to be polite

Here is the list of petit fours that Jennifer Hatton sent to me:

 

*lemon squares

*Chocolate bomb brownie squares

*cheesecake bites

*chocolate encased strawberries

*Profiterolls filled with most any flavour

 

I am not sure of the price per piece, but presume it's somewhere between $2-$4 per piece.
