For a wedding rehearsal dinner or as chocolate edible favours on a small wedding table. For corporate client thank-yous where chocolate signals warmth more than vanilla can. The dozen is where each guest, colleague or family member gets their own little branded chocolate box, and that is the moment the gift photographs and shares itself on social media for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Story Behind the Chocolate Dozen\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Six Chocolate Cupcakes covered the half-dozen tier. Corporate buyers, event planners and milestone birthday hosts kept asking for the bigger format for the chocolate-loving crowd. So we landed on the dozen as the top of the chocolate cupcake ladder, mirroring our Twelve Vanilla Cupcakes. Twelve chocolate cupcakes, twelve branded boxes, baked the same morning, finished the same way, presented as a unified set. The per-cupcake price drops slightly versus the smaller chocolate packs, because at this volume the bakery runs more efficiently and we want the corporate buyer to feel the bulk benefit. You are paying for twelve hand-finished chocolate cupcakes, twelve real roses and twelve branded boxes, and the per-unit cost works in your favour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003eThe single chocolate cupcake is a love note. The dozen is a room full of chocolate people remembered.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery: Cape Town Same-Day Only\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Twelve Chocolate Cupcakes are freshly baked and perishable, so they deliver in Cape Town only, same-day on orders placed before 12pm Monday to Saturday. We deliver across Claremont, Sea Point, Camps Bay, Constantia, Newlands, Rondebosch, Green Point, the City Bowl, the Southern Suburbs, the Atlantic Seaboard and the wider Cape Town network. As fresh bakery items they do NOT ship by nationwide courier and are NOT available for Johannesburg same-day delivery, even though our flowers are. For an event in another province, the cupcake add-on is unfortunately not available on those orders, but our nationwide chocolate gift hampers, biltong gifts and Lindt sets ship across South Africa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow To Serve a Chocolate Dozen\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor best taste, serve the cupcakes the day they arrive. The real rose on top is decorative only and should be removed before eating. The icing sugar is food-safe and a soft finish, not a heavy frosting. If your event runs over more than one day, refrigerate the unopened boxes and bring each one back to room temperature about thirty minutes before serving so the chocolate buttercream softens. Each cupcake stays freshest sealed in its own box, which is the reason we pack a dozen as twelve individual boxes rather than one large tray. Set them out as a dessert centrepiece, place one at each guest seat, hand them out at the office, or build a small tiered chocolate display for a shower or rehearsal dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Order From Fabulous Flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFabulous Flowers and Gifts has been South Africa's go-to luxury florist and gifting house since 1999, with studios in Claremont and Sea Point.

Each cupcake is packed in its own Fabulous Flowers branded box with our gold crown emblem.

Twelve guests, twelve branded boxes, one beautiful chocolate cupcake each.

Same twelve individual branded boxes, same real rose on each one, same hand-baking process. The vanilla range uses a pink edible-glitter finish.
