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:
Buttercream Icing per Batch: $2.55 x 2.25 = $5.74 (1 white, .5 gray, .5 black, .25 orange)
15 Yellow and Chocolate Cupcakes Mixed: $1.20
Foils and Plating: $2.50
Labor: $6.00 per hour x 3 = $18
Total: $27.44
