Send Cupcakes

Baking cupcakes at home from a box can be pretty easy, but let’s be honest, they aren’t always the prettiest or most exotic desserts in the world. Luckily for you, there is no reason to settle for mediocre cupcakes any longer! Probably the best part of the present cupcake era is mail order cupcakes. Yep, tons of companies will ship their super yummy, gourmet (and beautiful) cupcakes right to your door!

To help you navigate this growing field, we’ve compiled a list of the best mail order cupcake companies. Included are prices and per cupcake prices, so that in these trying economic times, you can make the most financially smart decision while still fulfilling that sweet tooth!

One of the cheapest sites that you can use is Crumbs (www.crumbs.com). If you order cupcakes individually, each is $3.75, but a dozen is only $18.00. (That’s only $1.50 per cupcake!!)

There is even a company out there that has cupcakes in a jar available for order! Bangerang Cupcakes (www.bangerangbakeshop.com) has cupcakes in a jar available for $5.50 — $7.50, with gift packages available. This might be more expensive than some of the other sites, but you also get a jar, and hey, it’s pretty sweet.

If jars aren’t your thing, maybe pictures of you or your family is?? Well, Mrs. Beasley’s (www.mrsbeasleys.com) can take a picture of you and put it on the cupcake’s frosting! You can get a dozen of these personalized cupcakes for $64.95 ($5.41 per cupcake). Not too much money for so much coolness!

And for those of you who are thinking, “Well, I have to make my own cupcakes, I’m vegan,” there’s even a company for you! BabyCakes NYC (www.babycakesnyc.com) sells vegan and vegan/gluten-free cupcakes for around $3-$4. Perfect for those who have special needs and still want a delicious and fancy snack!

Here is a table with the rest of the websites we found. Keep in mind that depending on the order size and type of cupcake (specialty, etc.), the order price and unit price may change a little.

Go ahead, test them all out and find out for yourself what’s the best deal. We know you want to.
