Ask-A-Zontee: How to Transport Mini-Cupcakes Without a Carrier

My friends and I often joke that I’m the person they call randomly when they need a good recommendation of a place to take out-of-town guests or advice on around-the-house projects. With that in mind, I’m sharing my answers every once in awhile, here on my blog. It’s Ask-a-Zontee, so named by my friend Liz.

Dear Ask-a-Zontee,

I have to transport a bunch of mini cupcakes to a baby shower Friday afternoon. How should I transport them?

Dear Liz,

I’d recommend that you put your mini cupcakes in a metal pan that’s deep enough so that you can cover it with a piece of cardboard (or if you want to get Macguyver-esque and you have a 13 x 9 baking pan, you could balance a dinner plate that’s flat and 10 inches in diameter over it), and then put a second layer of cupcakes on that. If your cupcakes are too tall, I’d consider putting them in a clean shoe box or two (so they can be stacked).
