We'll also be feeding parents too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-regular-or-mini-for-bday-party#post-2471428 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 14:25:37 +0000 Adira 2471428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always do regular sized cupcakes for our birthday parties at home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-regular-or-mini-for-bday-party#post-2471427 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 14:25:33 +0000 lawbee11 2471427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do regular for the party since presumably parents will be eating them, too (or you could do a combo of regular and mini). I said mini for daycare since it'll only be the kids eating them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-regular-or-mini-for-bday-party#post-2471423 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 14:24:09 +0000 Smurfette 2471423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: if we bring in anything for bday, it has to be during snack time. So they can eat the cupcake/whatever you bring in or the school snack. </p> <p>I vote regular. This way you have some for the parents too. My DH would eat like 3 mini cupcakes if he was hungry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-regular-or-mini-for-bday-party#post-2471416 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 14:23:10 +0000 Freckles 2471416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mini. I find that the frosting/cake ratio is too high and prefer mini ones. If kids want another, it's still less cake than one regular sized cupcake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-regular-or-mini-for-bday-party#post-2471415 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 14:22:35 +0000 Mamaof2 2471415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted mini for a classroom mainly because they would eat it in addition to the PM snack</p> <p>For a birthday party - full size! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/so-regular-or-mini-for-bday-party#post-2471407 Tue, 23 Feb 2016 14:19:29 +0000 regberadaisy 2471407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, I'm curious now. Spin off of @adira's post. </p> <p>All along I was planning on ordering all regular sized cupcakes for DD1's 4th birthday party at the zoo. The mini ones are tiny! See below.</p> <p>Their parents will be with them so they can always scrape off the frosting. Which is what I do. :P</p> <p>Primarily 3-4 yo with a few young toddlers.<br /> Regular or Mini?</p> <p>[attach=1325/16/o30loh.600x450.image.jpeg] </p>
