"Not super mom related but I have a question. How much would you spend on cupcakes from a venue for a birthday party? Like you book the venue and you can use their cupcakes and cakes, how much would you be willing to spend on custom desserts?

I spend a lot of money on everything birthday related. Cake/cupcakes included 
I’m cheap lol. My ex sister in law does all mine and they are super cute. Kids really do not remember all that stuff. My kids remember things like the volcanoes we did one year in the backyard- they were “huge”. If you ask them what the cake looked like you will get a blank stare.
I spend way more than I would like to admit on birthdays however cupcakes should not cost anymore than $2.50-$3.50 per cupcake roughly.
It would really depend on how many cupcakes and how simple or complex the design was.
If I needed 2 dozen and they were all the same flavor cupcake, same flavor icing with sprinkles, on a tray, I wouldn’t expect to pay or be willing to pay an astronomical amount.
If I needed 200 and they were various flavors and designs, arranged like a princess castle or a fire truck, I would both expect and plan to pay more.
Either way though, keep in mind that you’re not only paying for the cupcakes, you’re paying for the convenience of someone else’s time and talent.
I spent (I think it was) $120 for 2 dozen cupcakes
But you have to remember that your not just paying for the ingredients, your paying for their time and if you want them to be complex then you’ll be paying for that too
