Mini Wedding Cakes

Can anyone recommend a bakery/pastry shop that can make 'reasonably' priced individual mini-wedding cakes? I've had a few quotes of about 13-15 dollars each and that is a bit too high for me considering I need anywhere from 300 to 350. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    Getting married in May and have opted for cupcakes, which I love and to keep the festivities a little fresh. Decided on the cupcake shoppe, Yonge and Egg. The buttermilk base is rich and yet light and absolutely delicious however I found the chocolate buttermilk ("James Brown") to be a bit over the top in richness and sweetness (never thought that would be possible). Certainly haven't sampled may flavours yet but adored the caramel topped buttermilk - quite the taste experience.

    Shoppe seems very responsive in terms of loaning a tiered tray for display and had scads of ideas for presentation. Prices were quite reasonable - e.g. can feed 90-100 for less than 250. Also had recommendations to mix it up in terms of standard size and mini so guests can enjoy more than one - great visual appeal - edible art!

    Cakes are an interesting sub-culture at social gatherings - keep us posted!

    Cheers,
    TKC

      Hi Joey - I am looking for the mini wedding cakes as well. What did you decide? Who did you decide to go with? Thanks in advance!

        You can get tiered mini-cakes at It's the Icing on the Cake on Queen East, but I don't know the price. They may be small, but they're a tremendous amount of work for their size, hence the expense. http://www.itstheicingonthecake.ca/

          I think what you're looking for is similar to a petite four. Try http://www.hellocakes.ca/cakes/index.... - they have individual mini-present box with bow for $3.5 each. They are not mini stack wedding cakes though!

            Sounds like you might want to go with specialty cupcakes. Kubo Radio on Queen Street East does quite fancy ones; there are cheaper places, too.
