Party Food Question

I'm going to a potluck bbq this weekend, and I signed up to take cupcakes.

So, there will be about 20 - 25 adults and 10 or so kids from baby to 5 years old attending.  (Most kids are in the 1 - 3 y.o. range.)

My cupcake recipe makes 24 cupcakes.  Do you think I should double it and take a huge amount of cupcakes?  Another gal said she's bringing cookies, and as far as I know the hostess isn't planning on another dessert.  I am planning to make some of the cupcakes mini for the kiddos, but. . .??

Re: Party Food Question

  • I'd take just the 24.  Its a potluck, which, to me, means that everyone brings a good serving but not enough to feed the whole group.  Sounds like fun!
  • I think you'll be ok with 24 - if you run out, people will just have to deal with the cookies. ;)

  • I agree with pp ... 24 is enough!
  • My first instinct is to double it (b/c I am crazy like that), but the others are probably right that 24 is enough.

    I am crazy like that, too!  Stick out tongue

    Thanks for the advice, ladies!  I think I'll just fill the cups a little less than I normally might in case I can squeeze a few extra cupcakes out of the batch.

  • I'd bring 3 dozen. so up the recipe by 50%

    I wouldn't even bother making mini cupcakes b/c the kids will go for the regular ones :)

     Ditto.  I'd rather have too much than not enough but that might just be me
