Colossal, Versatile Cupcake Carrier

Do you hate to transport cupcakes and cake as much as I do?  It seems like the frosting always gets messed up.  You feel like you need to cover whatever you're bringing, but plastic wrap and toothpicks isn't a very efficient or attractive way to keep the frosting intact.

Look what I bought for ten bucks at Costco the other day!  Problem solved!



This has enough room for 3 layers of 12 cupcakes each--a whopping 36 cupcakes total!


I wish I had owned this when my kids still had birthday parties at school and belonged to Scouts, etc. where we often brought snacks.  Regardless, this is still a useful container because in addition to transporting cupcakes and muffins, it can be used as a cake carrier (2-layer or up to 9x13" rectangle) and even a cookie carrier.


There are three plastic sheets that go over the cupcake wells to create a more "solid" layer.


I think this is going to get a lot of use when I bring food elsewhere, which is quite often!  This could, of course, also be used to carry things other than sweets: side dishes or appetizers, for example.  This unit is very well designed, so there shouldn't be any unpleasant spills.

 Do you have any tips for transporting food neatly and/or creatively?

Kristin, this was $10 at Costco! I couldn't believe it because I've been looking at them for awhile. And yes, everything I showed comes with it.
