I've had inquiries from someone about doing a cupcake "tower" with the anniversary cake on top. well i don't have a stand and i know i can buy one but here's my question.... How do i pass on my cost? I mean i can't just straight charge her an extra $100 for a stand that i didn't have just cause she wants it and then i can use it for everyone else can i??? Or do i just have to suck up the cost. first time with this situation so just wondering!

Thanks!!!! ruby

Well how much are you charging for the cake and cupcakes? Is it worth putting the money out? In my opinion, I would do it! Everyone who see's my cupcake tree loves it and would like to have it.

What kind of tree are you looking at? I love the cupcake trees at www.cupcaketree.com. They have to different sizes of tree, the most expensive is $39.95. You can reuse them and redecorate to match the theme.

I ask for a deposit when customers use my stands. I ask for the total cost( the cost of the stand and the shipping). They get it back when its brought back undamaged.
