Does this situation sound familiar to you?
"Hello! I am having a birthday party, and I would like all of you to come. It should be ever so much! We’re having pizza, and going to sing my favorite songs, and then we’ll open presents! Oh, I’m practically bursting with excitement!
However… I must ask you this, and please, I hope I don’t cause offense. I know that every year, you like to bring cupcakes to my birthday party, and well, you see… Every year, you throw them in a bag, and they end up as a lumpy mess of cupcake. The frosting mixes with the smashed cake, and… Again, no offense… I hate you. I hate your cupcakes, and if you don’t do something to fix it, I will NEVER INVITE YOU TO MY BIRTHDAY PARTY AGAIN!"
No, it doesn’t? It was too specific? Okay, well, regardless, let’s assume that at some point you’ve had a Messy Cupcake Dilemma™. If so, I have two things that’ll help you deal with this treat disaster:
1) Turtle Pull A Part Cupcake Mold
[$15, Linens and Things]
This silicone mold, at least based on the picture above, magically turns twelve separate cupcakes into a fully iced and decorated cupcake turtle. This is not true! However, the part I want you take away from its product description is: “FDA approved food grade silicone is guaranteed oven safe to 500 degrees F. Quick release permanent non-stick surface. Refrigerator, freezer, microwave, oven and metal utensil safe.” So instead of scraping out burnt cupcake from a metal mold, you can squeeze ‘em out, and plop this baby in the old dishwasher. Twelve perfectly cooked cupcakes! Hoo-rah!
But Alex, you say, that still doesn’t solve my transportation problems. Check this out:
2) Oneida 24-Count Cupcake Carrying Case
[$20, Amazon]
That’s right: someone made a suitcase for your cupcakes. All you need to make two turtle mold-fulls, pack ‘em into your cupcake carrying case, and you’re on your way to becoming a successful birthday party going guest.
