I found this at Wal*Mart...it is collapsible...can be used for up to 24 cupcakes or to transport a cake as well. 

I 2nd that jeartist, i buy the 6 count containers from global sugar art.
Snapware makes containers that snap together that have an insert in the middle where one side has spaces to hold 12 cupcakes and the other side is flat. I use these all the time as you can snap a bunch of them together and carry them all with one hand.
I just bought some fantastic, and cheap cardboard cupcake boxes from ebay that fold flatpack too.

One of these (or 2 twelves) in a box that it will fit in:
I can leave it behind or take it home.
