I need to transport about 60 cc in a sheet box or boxes; what's the most that can be put in a large box. I'm not sure about how they are sized, I haven't done anything larger than 9x13 sheet cake so I've only used a 11x15 box for cakes.

How many can I get in a 11 x 15 and the size after that and beyond.

I'm also thinking about using Khalstead's hot glue method; Khalstead if your out there I would like your input too! TIA

How is the stability when you put cupcakes in this big boxes? The boxes are so flimsy, I've always worried that it would smash the cupcakes when I put them in. Do you just use to hands and it works, or what?

I always place my cupcakes on a cake board, then in the box. I have done this several times and it works well. HTHicon_smile.gif

I can fit 35-40 cupcakes in a half-sheet-cake sized box (19x14) depending on how they are iced. Like vkat, I also put a cake board in the bottom, then I carefully load the cupcakes one at a time. The cake boxes feel flimsy at first, but putting the top down & taping the flaps really adds to the stability. When kept level and handled with care, the cupcakes sit there happily....I've never had a problem with this method!

Somewhere on these boards is a thread that a member started about how she cut plastic cups and glued them down onto a board to help her transport a large amount of cupcakes without them sliding or touching each other. I just don't know who or where as I go months without checking this site.

Sorry, I know that doesn't help but maybe someone knows what I am talking about. Maybe it's a sticky....LOL!!! Let me go look.



ETA: there are no sticky's in the cupcake section. Weird! If someone finds that thread I suggest we get our first sticky in the cupcake section. icon_smile.gif

I would do it this way. you can carry them with two hands without the board but I would think it was more sturdy this way.
