I made 24 valentines cupcakes today. The icing was 1.50, cake mix was 98 cents. Walmart, baby! Add 3 eggs and half a cup of oil. Took 5 minutes to prep, 20 to cook, and about ten minutes to ice.

Seriously? Spend $10 on mix and frosting and have the kids help you make or decorate them. Playdate done, cupcakes done.

You offered, you buy! Don't forget the candles.

Ok will get cupcakes and will not tell others. I guess I thought she would bring since it is her child’s birthday.


+1 You're the host. You said"we can have cupcakes." Mini cupcakes are fine. Either way, they're cheap, so chill out.

You are cheap! You suggested the cupcakes and now you are wondering why the mother isn't bringing them.


Such a nasty response. OP just as asked for input. She said nothing about cost and even mentioned picking up paper goods.


Well, OP is on here crowdsourcing an answer.

Why not just pop over to the supermarket and buy some without needing to come on here for confirmation?

Typically if I am hosting a play date, then I provide the snack. You should provide cupcakes as the snack.

Why are you exaggerating this into saying it’s his birthday party? Are you putting up decorations? Buying him a gift? No paper goods needed other than the napkins or paper towels you’d normally have on hand. Is it the $4 for the cupcakes that’s bugging you?


+1 It was OP’s offer to have cupcakes.
