I am going to patent a tightly rolled piece of paper, shaped like a small twig and a plastic version as well, so you fools will have to pay me to put your cake globs and Cake Chuters on them! And candy. 

ALolz. Congratulations mrsprinkles for creating another niche of stupid food. Your "invention" will go the way of the stuffed strawberries patent.

I have given this a lot more thought and I am going to Patent Cake Sh*t Chuters®.There will be a baby version that is chunks of yellow cake in Tapioca pudding®, a toddler version that is chunks of rainbow cake in chocolate pudding®, for remembering when they ate the crayons, then the standard one with chocolate cake and chocolate pudding and whole peanuts with caramel sauce®. Bunny Balls, with a bunch of tiny rolled chocolate covered cake balls bouncing around in the container®. And then the health food one, a long cake dough snake, rolled in granola and coiled in the tube®.

 Should sell like hot cakes!

Oh gag...that was nasty!

AnnieCahill, what was the strawberry patent? I have a vague recollection but I can't remember the details.

ASorry! I find cake balls nastier than poop, maybe my iron stomach after having 4 kids, with twins who always got stomach viruses. I will edit it to be hidden. ;-)

The thread discusses the now defunct Eminger Berries, who gained national fame with their very original, never-heard-of-before stuffed strawberry.

Guys, I am in the works on patenting a "cupcake cannon" which propels these useless pastries at a high rate of speed into one's gullet.  Don't try to copy me.  But when the patent goes through, please feel free to use the below link to create your own cupcake launcher for home use only.  You can't call it a cannon after it's been patented, though.

AYou mean the cake pops like the push up ice creams oh, yeah you could find them at Michaels crafts

I think that will be the best invention yet! It can be the next stupid human trick at rowdy receptions and bachelor parties.

Wow what reactions. I was only trying to be helpful.

2 1/2 years ago there were about 40,000 of the push up containers imported int the U.S. per year for use strictly for ice cream.  After my idea receive much publicity, many people started making them.  I will restate the fact that they have every right to do so, for now.  Many of you have expressed the opinion that cake shooters are a terrible idea.  To the best of my knowledge, the quantity of the containers that are currently being imported is in excess of 100,000 per month.  As some of you have noted, even at that rate, they are still hard to get.  Admittedly, from a bakery's point of view they are hard to make.  However, from a customer's point of view they seem to be very desirable, as is evidenced  by the consistently growing demand.

It is one of of the American dreams to come up with a great idea for which there is a big demand.  The patent laws on the books are there to give people protection of a good idea.  Just applying for a patent does not give one protection unless it is approved. And even if the patent is approved there is no guarantee of financial success. The fact that I didn't invent the container made the approval of a patent an iffy proposition.  Nevertheless, I took a chance, invested about $4,000.00 and applied for the patent.

I have to admit that I am completely baffled by all the derisive reaction to my post.  I don't question anybodies right to an opinion, but I am very puzzled by the motivation behind it.

i think if one were to comment 'get a life' to another poster that could be a potential key to unlock the puzzlement

then pretend it didn't happen/ wasn't said/ so innocent

not that derision is endorsed -- just having a little fun -- letting off steam

edited to say and i recognize in advance that i have 7958 posts at this point

Further discussion about the patent nonsense has been deleted and further comments will be deleted on the grounds that it's completely off topic.  The question by the OP was "where" can I buy the containers, not "can I sell cake push up pops".
