So I had to deliver 900 mini cupcakes. packaged like this I was able to get roughly 150 cupcakes into one sheetcake box.

If I see another cupcake again, I might throw up!!!!!

I'm confused! You transported 900 cupcakes...but the subject line of your thread is "how to transport 144 cupcakes".

Oh, yeah, I explained it better the first time I tried to post the photos, and then had to re-type. I had 6 of these sheetcake boxes filled with 150 cupcakes. So 900 in 6 sheetcake boxes.

Did that explain it better????

Yep! Got it now! Your cupcakes looked wonderful btw!

oh my goodness. May I ask, in the second photo, it looks like you have two layers of the cupcakes. how did you separate the layers and not have them smash the bottom layer? Thank you, and WOW thats a lot of cupcakes. Great job!

That was the first photo. I cut a 2" wide strip and taped it to the bottom of the box so that I could put the top layer on. That's why it looks like there are 2 outside rows of cupcakes and then a square of cupcakes inside.

OK, thank you for clarifying. How long did it take you to bake and decorate the 900? I can not imagine doing that many I have done 100 but, wow, 900? Great job!

it takes about 18 hours total. I had the oven going at the same time as the mixer. It was nuts!!!! I actually decorated them in the box so that I wasn't trying to muck around with them with the icing.

Out of curiosity, what did you charge for all of these?

I would have charged about $500. But good friends and you know how it goes.... The girl getting married used to baby-sit my oldest.... So less than that, but I swore them to not tell anyone the real amount!!!

wow...my hands would be falling off right now!
those look good...you betta hope they don't tell anyone how much you charged. you know how people are, when they hear a good bargain.

WOW!! Thanks for the great idea! I'll definitely save this post
I would have to rent a van or truck to get all those boxes to the site (or make 6 trips)! Did you stack the boxes? Did you reinforce the bottom of each full sheet box?

I buy the better quality boxes, so they are more sturdy than the Wilton ones. You could probably stack them, but only ONE on top of another (I found that out the hard way one time!) if they are going the same way, but if you stagger them you can get about 3 or 4 high. I have a CRV, and the back is a split level, so I was able to get three boxes on the bottom shelf, and 3 on the top with the 2 stands for display, and I kept the cutting cake with me in the front.

I think I might have to retire my Honda Prelude from it's delivery career

cool idea! When I had to do this I used tissue paper rolls like pillars on the bottom layer to hold up the second layer. Lovely cupcakes! But yeah I can understand how you'd be *sick* of them for a while hehe. great job!

ugh! We did an event where we made 650 minis filled with ganache last year complete with 650 gumpaste luster dusted flowers - it was A LOT of work! And the event is coming up again in 2 weeks....I'm started to dread it now! LOL!

That's a lot of cuppies - good job!

I'm just finished baking 1000 mini cuppies for my niece wedding. Will upload here once it finished with decoration yah!

WOW! What the fastest way to fill that many paper cups with batter, in your experience? I use large ice cream scoops of different sizes for large cuppies and cookie doughs, but didn't know if it would be faster to pour batter, or maybe put through a funnel like funnel cakes?

NO!!!!! Use the meatball size scooper! It is PERFECT! And the baking time is exactly 13 min at 350. And one WASC recipe does over 100. I actually had 4 tins for 12 minis (my DD's play set, go figure) and then I bought 2 x 24 minis. I filled one set (so 48 goes into the oven at a time, I don't have a convection oven), and I got 2 oven times (so 96 cuppies) and then a small tray left over. It actually went really quickly! I just put on some TV shows that I had TVO'd, and away I went!

mommyle-Thanks so much for all your info!!!!!!!!!!!!

My pleasure! Glad I could help!

We use large disposable icing bags and fill them up with batter and cut a small hole in the end. It's perfect for filling those small mini cuppie holders!

I know I'm super late but geesh, even for $500 is underpriced I would say. That's alot of work. Kudos to you tho'
