icon_confused.gif don't know if i would want to stack 4 dozen of my creations and then carry them over my shoulder - irrkkkk.

Lollll - i am a fast walker - my creations would end up swinging left to right and then end up looking like the inside of a cake ball - icon_rolleyes.gif

No, think i shall stick with what i use.. as it can be used for either cupcakes or just a cake.

This does not look stable. Notice the picture of her holding the tray in front....the cupcakes appear to be "hugged" !

I would go with the Cupcake Courier. I bought 2 at Costco less than 3 months ago for less than $20 each.

The newer version also has plastic sheets you can lay over the cupcake holes allowing you to carry cookies or a cake. It is very versatile.

I lay a pieces of faom core board that i have had cut to size - then place cut to size non skid mat on top of that - over the holes of my cupcake hole indentations - and lay my cookies on that - works a treat - and safe as.

I am wondering if cupcakes or cookies might sweat in the blow up carrier

Can you imagine that blow up carrier getting a pin hole and not realizing until your slaved over cupcakes are sitting on one another getting smashed in the seat next to you LOL..

I would not use that. I looks too unstable plus think about the heat build up in a plastic contraption. Forget it. I've never liked the courier either. I had a lady show up at an event and she had one of those. It isn't too stable and had tilted on the drive over. Her cupcakes were a mess!

Someone on cc had a link to a plastic piece with indentations for each cupcake. I use those so they are single layer and put them either on a non stick/slide surface in my car. Never had any trouble or tumbling cupcakes after that!

You must be joking - obviously she didn't have it sitting level to start with - more fool her -

"after that" icon_confused.gif - proves my point - i have never had a tumbling cupcake or cake thanks to the cupcake courier - and my biggest order was 420 cupcakes for a wedding plus a two tier cake which was also transported in seperate CCC (stacked on site) - perhaps you should invest in one of the food safe CCC - as not only are they safe but they look very proffessional when delivering an order... icon_smile.gif
No way would i have single layer containers floating around in my car uncovered when delievering cupcakes - or a cake for that matter... especially when delivering large orders.

That is the most ridiculous thing I've eve seen. I also use the CCC and LOVE it. I've never had a problem with cupcakes or cakes being disturbed at all in the CCC.

I totally agree, it looks very unstable, the CCC is so much better.

I ordered mine at Overstock.com and I can do nothing but sing the praises of them. Almost everyone who sees me with it goes out and buys one.

This blow up one, while an interesting idea, seems a little weird to me and a lot more work than nescessary. Here's another vote for the Cupcake Courier if you're looking for an excellent cupcake transportation solution!

Oh I could just cry everytime I see how much cheaper they are now. I bought mine when they first became available online. With the cost of the courier and shipping to my part of Canada, I paid a smidge under $74 bucks. *sigh*

As for the over the shoulder plastic cupcake sling, no thanks. To flimsy, no proper balance for the cupcakes, and too weird looking to ever trust.

Holy Cow warchild you paid a lot but then it was something new on the market and the price is always high when something brand new comes along.

I got mine from Amazon and I love it.....I have used it as a flower holder when I was making a lot of flowers and needed to be able to move them quickly when the family showed up...just filled the cups with cotton balls...placed the flowers in each one...put the lid back on and tranported them to another part of the house....oh how do I love thee thumbs_up.gif

WOW! I would definitely not invest in that inflatable thing... very unstable. I'd rather put them in a cardboard box before the inflatable thing. Go with the Cupcake Courier. I got mine for $20 on Amazon and it holds 36 cupcakes or a two tier cake! It's great and sturdy!

I got mine at JCPenny's for $19.00 it comes with two and I have another set that will snap to the other two and make it four high. it has little holders to hold a dozen but usually dont use the insert and I can fit one and a half dozen per box. My cupcakes stay fresh and the shape allows for an easier time of making room in the fridge.

My dad is an early adopter. I think we owned the first microwave ever made. And then we had that microwave long (long ... long...) after they were smaller/better/had more settings/etc., because he'd paid so much for it.

When I went to Overstock to look for a cupcake carrier this is the first thing that came up:

http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Fox-Run-Cupcake-to-Go-Carriers-Pack-of-3/5395375/product.html?rcmndsrc=2


Um, am I missing something or is it really a "pack of 3" for $22?

Yeah, that's not it, they have a rotating stock, so just don't have them right now.

The product name is Cupcake Courier here is a link to their website, it is awesome. I was lucky, there was a sale and I got two of them for $15 each at Overstock, one was intended to save for a gift, but I seriously loved it so much I kept both! icon_smile.gif
