Does anyone know a really good but cheap place to get little mini cakes as wedding favors. I live in NY and only have a limited amount of $ for favors so if anyone can help me please find a place that would be greatly appreciated. If it is not in NY that is Okay too as long as they are less expensive. Thank you.

If you’re talking mini-cakes as opposed to cupcakes… they were too pricey for us. I got quotes in Michigan around $7-$9 each for mini cakes (vs. $1.25-$2.50 for cupcakes). It takes a lot of work to frost them all (whereas cupcakes are only frosted on top), so you’re paying for their time.

Call around to the bakeries, but unfortunately, I think you’ll find this is one of the more expensive favors.

Good luck!!

I have a few ideas for wedding favors and I’m wondering how many people have given out for their weddings? Is there a usual number of favors that you give out?

You usually give at least one favor to each guest. Normally, the favor is placed on the tables where the guest will be seated. In addition, you may also opt for to other favors through out your wedding such as bubbles, bottled water, flip flops, and personalized trinkets.
