The Cupcake Courier
September 5, 2006 · Print This Article
Well, someone’s done it. Someone has finally invented a way to transport cupcakes! No messy icing all over aluminum foil, and no smashing and smushing up all of your hard decorating work.
And wouldn’t you know it - the Cupcake Courier was invented by a mom. Jennifer Gunn, mother of two in southern Cali, invented the Cupcake Courier after getting fed up with all of the cupcake carrying caveats we all know and loathe.
I have to tell you, I do not actually have one of these in my hot little hands yet, but I’m on it. Look at the features the Cupcake Courier has to offer:
- Holds three stackable cupcake trays
- Each tray holds 12 cupcakes
- Made of rectangular, translucent plastic
- Comfortable handle
- Four bottom latches that hold the base securely
- Carry/store up to 36 cupcakes or muffins
- Trays are removeable, so the courier doubles as a cake holder
I hope to have one soon, so we can offer a more detailed product review, but the Cupcake Courier certainly looks like something to get excited about!
I got one the other day. I love it. I brought two dozen cupcakes to my son’s school and it was totally easy! No mess!
that’s awesome! i just KNEW it would work well. i can’t wait to get one. i still haven’t, thanks to budget restraints of stay-at-home-motherhood. heh
hey i’ve been trying to get my hands on one but the link in the post seems to be down. has it been shifted or just simply down?
i think the URL for the page i linked to may have changed. i updated the link, and it seems to be working now.
How much is the cupcake courier and how do I get one?
The cupcake courier is $32.99 and is available for online order here.
I wanted to know how long you’ve had these available/selling them? I’ve been looking forever for something like this.
Thanks
HI Rebecca. The cupcake courier isn’t ours - we just reported the find here. I wish it had been my idea!
This will sound bizarre, but I’m trying to track down the Jennifer Gunn who was my room mate at Centre College. If you are that Jennifer, please call me at 330.592.2955.
I just wanted to tell anyone who is looking for one, my Target had them! I saw them today on a display endcap for “Products on TV”. They were $24.99. They were located on an endcap near the rubbermaid storage containers….all I saw was the blue. I’m going back this weekend to buy one!!
Wow! I am in charge of the coffee club at our school and this makes transporting cupcakes neat and easy. Presentation is everything and who wants to eat cupcakes that the frosting is oozing all over the sides. To go through the time to make delicious looking cupcakes and once at there destination no one eats them because of how they look. This product solves the problem. Also it is easy to cover when there are left over cupcakes. Keeps them fresh. No more messy plastic wrap. Bought mine at Target for $24.99 Thinking of buying another one for those big partys!
Thanks so much with coming up with it.
