I wanted to purchase several of these to transport 12 doz cupcakes 4 hours for a friend’s wedding. However I wanted them to stack easily to stach in my small car. The curved top wasn’t going to work. I opted for Martha Stewart carriers I found at Macy’s Department store. They each carried two dozen cupcakes perfectly. and the containers stacked nicely in the car. Everything made it safe and sound to the wedding reception! My containers were slighly pricey, but worth every penny!!!!

The Cake Decorating Company in the UK sell the cupcake courier http://thecakedecoratingcompany.co.uk/catalog/ I would have loved if there were extra claps to buy in case one got broken.

I have one of these cupcake carriers, had to bid for it on ebay as Squires dont sell them anymore, they are brill though I am sometimes concerned that the clasps on the bottom may unclip and there would be squished icing and cakes all over the kerb!

Hi Louise,
Can I ask if you worked with a London company on these cupcakes & picture? Of course I doubt if you did but thought I better check first as they’re claiming they made the cupcakes & took the picture to sell this product….thanks.

does the fondant make the cupcake taste bad?

I too bought one from Costco last week and mine won’t latch either! Grr. Maybe a recall? I still have my stickers

By: Kristi

Side note- that was supposed to be “stickers” not stickes, and “hand” not and and:)

Please HELP! I just bought one of these from Costco in Canada. I have removed the packaging and stickes so I have nothing left, if there ever were any instructions for it. It seems so simple, put on the lid and snap it closed. Um, not for me!! I feel so foolish, not to mention frustrated that I can’t get the darn thing to latch! I have tried adding tiers, removing them, turning upside down(without cupcakes of course!), trying to stretch the lid over the base. But nothing will work! If I close the latches and lift the lid it comes up in my and and the base and cupcakes are on the counter. NOT good! Please, if anyone has any advice I would GREATLY appreciate it! And it’s ok to laugh at me, I realise how silly this is!! UGH!!!

Having struggled in to the office today with 2 huge corrugated boxes of 24 cupcakes, I need to get one of these! It’s the first time i’d ever made bc swirls and I would’ve died if they’d been squashed!

I’m quite new to baking and I have to know how you get such amazing dome shaped tops? Even if mine rise, they sink as soon as they’re out of the oven! I tried filling the cases more but they spread and spilled instead of rising. Any helpful tips would be amazing!

Tracy: BC=buttercream I ad a small amount of bc on the cupcake and with an angled spatular I spread/build it into a dome. Then I put them in the fridge for a few sec. while I roll out the fondant and cut out with a circle cutter.

I love these couriers! I have one torquoise blue and one pink. I found them in the clearance section at Target (U.S.) one day and at a bargain price of $10 each, I had to have both. Even though I already had carriers at at home, none of them carried 36 cupcakes nor were they as cute as these. Thanks for the idea of putting paper strips to prevent damage to the frosting when removing cupcakes from the carrier.

Hi Louise,

I did email cupcake courier but have not received any responses. I even tried the store i bought the courier from and she’s helping me contact the distributor as well. I guess I’ll just have to wait.. or try emailing again.

I’ve got one of these too – just bought it 10 days ago and used it on Friday – and several of my coworkers were eyeing it with envy!

I got mine from http://www.pictureyourcake.com, who is in Richmond, BC Canada (she also prints edible images for you to use on your cakes, cupcakes or cookies – very cool!)

Hey Gini,

Try placing some long strips of paper in the holes before you put in the cupcakes. Then you should be able to use the paper to pull out the cupcakes far enough to be able to grab the cupcake by its paper wrapper and not the icing. I’ve seen the trick used by chefs such as Bill Grainger when they use muffin tins for making individual frittata and dauphinoise potatos.

I have this one! I LOOOOVE it! I use to work at Dillards and once I saw it there I went banannas! I waitef for it to go on sale and it never did. So before I quit I bought one with my employee discount
The only thing I dont like about it is that sometimes I have a hard time getting them individually out without messing the frosting :/ But it holds great and I’ve used it many times. I love making cupcakes!

Seems like a lot of you are very happy with your CC couriers Great with the tips on how you use it besides carring it with cupcakes.

gabrielle: Well I think that I will leave them a little note, because I really like what you’ve come up with. Please scroll up to my comment #12 there are more info about the flowers (the pink ones) Thank you!

Let’s hope they get them in stock soon!!! Got all psyched and then all are listed as out of stock!!! I have no patience when it comes to cakey toys! LOL!

Louise, I hope the inventor is looking at this site and reads our comments. The other thing I would like them to bring out is a larger version for the professional cake decorators, and enthusiasts. One that is both higher and wider. The current one won’t take a cake with a baseboard wider than about 9 or 10 inches. I’ve had to trim cake boards to fit, if I wasn’t serving the cake on the courier’s tray.

I reckon if there was one made that was about 5 inches higher and 5 inches wider, it would accommodate the majority of cakes produced.

I absolutely love your site Louise. How did you do the flowers on the cupcakes?

I own four of these and not only use them for cupcakes, but I use the flat plastic liners for decorated cookies. I can buy them wholesale if anyone is interested.

I found mine at Williams Sonoma. I just love it, but the cost of $40.00 is keeping me from getting a second one!
