BRONZE BUDGET BRIDE

I attended  a birthday party in January where a little mini cupcake tower cake was the cake of choice for the birthday girl. I thought it was cute and since I am planning of having cupcakes at my wedding, I wanted to see how others have been displaying their mini cupcakes and I hope you like what I found.

I've found a wonderful website where bronze budget brides like yourself can purchase sugar flowers for under 30¢ each that you can use to decorate your cakes or cupcakes. I am not talking about sugar flowers that just barely resembles a flower either, these look exactly like the ones you would see at a floral shop... just look at the ones I've added above.

You can get different types of flowers in varying sizes and in doing so it will help you to transform your DIY cupcakes or cakes into masterpieces. They are quite beautiful and as I've mentioned earlier, very affordable as well. I've only added four for you but there are so many you get to choose from here at wholesalesugarflowers.com. So be sure to visit them first if you are thinking of adding sugar flowers to any of your baked goods.

I've shown you these cupcakes wraps before from Bella Cupcake Couture that you can find at save-on-crafts.com for 70¢ each but if you like those, you'll love these wrappers because they are half the price and just as beautiful!



They are called Treat Wraps by Bakery Crafts and 48 of these cupcake wrappers sell for only $14.99. The best part is that they are reversible too so you get two designs for the price of one, both of which are just as cute as the other!


If you are interested in buying these to adorn your DIY cupcakes for your wedding, then you can find a few to choose from HERE at shopbakersnook.com!

I alerted you to these Bella Cupcake Couture cupcake wrappers here when they were fairly new to the market and being sold for about $0.97 each. However, today I have some great news to share since I found them now even cheaper HERE at save-on-crafts.com for just $0.70 each. You would have to buy them in bulks of 50 for $35.00 to get them at that fab price but if you are making cupcakes for your wedding, that should not be a problem.

I love pie, more than cake actually and that might be because of my egg allergy I couldn't eat it without getting a stomach ache till well into my teens. Actually, I must admit that as I type this, I'm reminding myself to put apples on the shopping list so that I can make an apple pie for our dessert on Sunday.

Apple pies are my favorite, there's not even a close second and I know there are plenty of you brides-to-be that just love yourself some pies too. So I say, what's wrong with serving pie, instead cake, at your wedding! Who'll complain about forking through that delicious goodness, and you don't even have to make them yourself. At my local supermarkets, I can buy 8" freshly baked pies for just $2.99. So 10 pies would be just $29.99! So I ask again, what's wrong with serving up some pie? Nothing....I say.... not a thing.

Just a look at those pies below from HostessBlog.com and tell me you are not thinking of changing your mind right now about that wedding cake... go on, take a look, they'll make your mouth water, (hehe).

 

On a recent trip to one of my local supermarkets, Food Lion, I noticed some mini cupcakes on display in the bakery section and decided to inquire about them. I was told that six (6) regular cupcakes sell for $2.99 and twelve (12) mini cupcakes sell for the same price. So that's about 25¢ for  each mini cupcake and 50¢ for the regular cupcakes. That's just $25.00 for 100 mini cupcakes that I can put on a stand and set out as wedding favors. That made me so excited because not only are they affordable they are delicious as well. Plus the baker would even throw in a discount if I ordered more than 100.
