    When I was out shopping on monday my son pointed out flavoured frosting in morrisons for £1.50 a tub and asked if he could have some to decorate cakes, He bought a pack of 12 plain fairy cakes for about £1.10 and just put the frosting on himself and I have to say they were delicious. You can get the frosting in other supermarkets too and it comes in lemon, strawberry and chocolate (may be others but they were all I saw) just thought I would share as these are great for anyone on a tight budget who cant afford £1.50 per cupcake which for 100 guests would cost £150 where as diy i would say roughly £9.90 for cakes and depending how much frosting you like roughly up to £15 for frosting meaning a big saving of £125 xxx

    I am thinking of making my own cup cakes for our wedding but buying plain ones to decorate is a great idea a lot less stress and more free time to relax!

    totally great idea! im making cup cake bouquets for the reception table (reference pic on my wall if you dont know what i mean) but im doing nealty everything else also so buying ready made cakes is a great idea will cut down my work load for the day before! i will still have to make my own frosting i think as its made up of two colours and streaks of pure food colouring to make them look like petals but i wouldnt have thought of buying the cupcake lol i love this site!! as we are having a cake the cupcakes really are for decoration more than anything so im sure no-one will comment !! thankyou!

    One BIG day will lead to lots of little happy days !!
