Transporting cupcakes

This is going to be the cheesiest idea ever... but ask for a cardboard cupholder every time you go through a drive through?

I have a side business of making alcohol infused cupcakes. You can buy the bakery boxes from a supply store that way they will be transported without any issues. Otherwise, you can use tupperware that are large enough. I do mini cupcakes so I can fit a lot more in a containers.

Also, you can decorate them ahead of time and freeze for a month. My leftovers are kept frozen for up to two months and my friends still rave over them.

They have cupcake carriers... You'd need several, but having at least one in normal life is actually pretty helpful. I have the third one and I love it!

Thanks Kristen i have the 2nd one. I cant afford to buy a bunch of them but thank you for the links

Heather thank you i will call around to local bakeries. I had heard that i can freeze the cupcakes with no dryness but i didnt know i could frost them too. I will try that this month and let you know how they taste nxt month

Jennifer that is a cute ideaa but i dont think i would be able to stack them. thanks though

Take a shirt box like you would get for christmas. Cut a cross in 12 places on the top of the box. Fold them in and put your cupcakes in them. Google shirt box cupcake holder.

MJ - that's great! Most bakery sections of grocery stores will sell you cake boxes - that way you don't have to pay for shipping from on online source or find a supply store.

Oh my gosh MJ that is super cleaver!!

Good answer MJ

Love that you asked this question. i am having the same idea and problem. but i am curious as to how Heather A stored the frosted cupcakes without messing up the frosting.

Make sure the container is DEEP enough to put the cover on without any problems. So, measure the cupcake AFTER it's decorated.

You have no idea how many stores I went to with a tape measure trying to find ones for MINI cupcakes. I needed them to be the right size for perfect storage in my freezer (to save space!)

Just remember, when storing in the freezer your containers must be fairly airtight. So, cardboard boxes will only be good for transporting.

In boxes with cupcake inserts, like these: http://www.brpboxshop.com/cupcake-boxes.html

I can't really take credit. My mom made wedding cakes etc for years. Everytime we got a pair of pants at the store we had to ask for a gift box so she would never have to pay for them.

Heather. I was going to wrap them in plastic wrap....would that still work or would the frosting get freezer burned?

Put them in plastic wrap and then a box. If you box your meat it wont get freezer burn. We make sure to always brown bag ice cream too. It sure helps.
