Hi everyone,

I've got my first catering event coming up next week. I cater desserts served in mini disposable cups coming in a variety of different types such as cheesecake, pannacotta, trifles and so on.

I have an issue though such as my cheesecake in a shooter cup. Are there any ways to efficiently transport the dessert cups in some sort of special tray or holder/container so it reduces the amount of movement in the car for either myself or my clients who pick it up. I currently have them stored in a large cake box and it still moves during car rides. Also, I would like the desserts to still remain cold but that is optional if such tray/containers even exist.

I have attached photos and samples of my dessert cups. and my large cake box that it is currently stored in.

Kind regards,

Joanne

the picture doesn't seem to have come through -- but one way is to cut holes the size of the desserts in a foodsafe cardboard the same overal size of the box -- suspend the board in the cake box so each dessert will have it's own surrounding nest to rest in -- suspend it in there by hot gluing in about six 3/4 inch dowel -- one in each corner then one or two in the mid section -- maybe one would do if it's a small box -- you could also cut off the tops of clean coke bottles as the 'dowel' -- the client will not see this as it's under the board --

lots of extra work but...

or you could wrap the bottom of each dessert in a napkin or paper towel as you place it in the box -- a friend of mine used bathroom tissue in hers -- certainly cheaper than paper towels but as a customer i would be slightly horrified -- but she used hers for transporting delicate gum paste flowers not desserts -- 

if i did much work like this i would fire up my foam cutter and get a one inch sheet of foam and cut the holes out and set the cups in there without suspending it --
