This was my first ever cupcake cake! I was a little nervous about how the cupcakes would stick together with the icing, but was super easy. This is a 15 cupcake cake with 8 yellow cupcakes and 7 chocolate cupcakes all decorated in white, black, grey, and orange buttercream icing. It ended up being about the same size as a 9x13 cake, but this only fed 15 people whereas a 9x13 cake feeds many more depending on the size of the slices. Below is my final price:
These cupcakes were made for a
little boy’s third birthday who happens to LOVE superheroes! I made 12 of each
design and made half of each design chocolate cupcakes and the other half
yellow cupcakes in case a guest really wanted a Spiderman chocolate cupcake! The Spiderman cupcakes have red foils and are
decorated with solid red buttercream icing, drizzled black buttercream icing
resembling a web, and white and black buttercream icing making the eyes of the
mask. The Superman cupcakes have blue
foils and are decorated with solid blue buttercream icing with yellow and red buttercream
icing making the Superman logo on top. I
also specialized one of the Superman cupcakes with the little boy’s name and
special logo. The Batman cupcakes have
yellow foils and are decorated with solid yellow buttercream icing and the
black Batman symbol hand drawn with black buttercream icing. These were quite time consuming to make, but
I think they turned out splendid! 
Buttercream Icing per Batch: $2.55
x 3.25 = $8.29 (1 red, .5 black, .25 white, .5 blue, 1
yellow)
Labor: $6.00 per hour x 5 = $30
These cupcakes were made for a
client to use as end of the school year thank you gifts for her children’s
teachers. I made the cupcakes and the
rest of the presentation was all the creative energy of my client! The cupcakes are yellow cake and decorated
with pink, purple, and yellow buttercream icing to look like flowers. I even
found green foils to look like stems.
Adding the cost of the foils is not something I have done when making
cupcakes in the past, but as that side of my business grows I feel I must add it
as a cost. Thus, the cost of the
cupcakes is as follows: 
Buttercream Icing per Batch: $2.55 x
1.5 = $3.83 
This cake was made for three year
old twin boys who are in love with Thomas the Train! The engine is a chocolate cake while the
lumber car is yellow. Both are cut from
a 9x13 cake pan. They are decorated with
blue, gray, white, black, green, and yellow buttercream icing and linked
together by Twizzlers. The logs on top
of the lumber car are Twix candy. Below
is the final price for this cake that easily fed 35-40 people depending on how
large the pieces are cut. 
Total: $44.42
