I’ve been on the lookout for a good cupcake carrier to replace the one I have. I’ve discovered that there are many new ones out there—and wondering if any of you have had any experience with them?
I’ve had this Oneida 24-Count Cupcake Carrier for over two years now. What I love about it is that you use the bottom as an actual pan to bake 12 cupcakes, and then slip a plastic shelf on top of it that holds another 12 for traveling. Though I give it nothing but good reviews, it has seen its share of cupcakes, and the plastic second shelf is now sagging a bit from all that cupcake-y weight it’s had to bear. Another thing about it is that there’s no way to really store it efficiently—it takes up a lot of room on the shelf.
I’ve been patiently trolling the Internets and found these interesting-looking options. So now, I bring you, the Super Awesome Big List Of Cool Cupcake Carriers. Which one should I get, you think?
Progressive International Collapsible Cupcake and Cake Carrier - $24.70 approx
Why I ♥ It: Dual use (round cakes and cupcakes), collapsible for easy storage
Martha Stewart Cupcake Carrier - $24.99 approx
Why I ♥ It: Dual use (cookies/cookie bars/brownies and cupcakes), looks sturdy
Baker’s Sto N’ Go Container - $24.95 approx
Why I ♥ It: Many uses (cookies/cookie bars/brownies and cupcakes, and even cereal and dry foodstuff when upright), though I’m not sure if the shelves would sag after a while. It even has trays for deviled eggs!
Cupcake Courier - $29.79 approx
Why I ♥ It: It’s the only one that carries 36 cupcakes at once; adjustable for smaller amount. Comes in blue sky, petal pink, lemongrass and saffron yellow.
Wilton Ultimate 3-In-1 Cake Caddy - $19.99 approx
Why I ♥ It: Triple use! A 9×13 cake, 12 cupcakes or 24 mini cupcakes.
These individual carriers are all kinds of cute, too! These have special grooves that hold each cupcake, so they stay in place even if the carrier is turned upside down. Perfect for lunch boxes!
Go Go Cupcake Holders - $6.99 approx for a twin pack
Cup-A-Cake Single Cupcake Carriers - $5.75 each approx
Are you having a sweet week so far? I hope so! If not, it’s going to get sweeter…come back tomorrow for some yummy, exciting news!

Who knew there were so many different cupcake carriers haha The Martha Stewart collapsible one looks nifty and a real space saver! I also have the cupcake/muffin trays with the plastic lids from Wilton, but I agree, they are a pain to store. I find those single cupcake holders are a little pricey, but I guess it’s the price you pay for cuteness

hi j!
luv your blogs and read them whenever i have time.
thought i’d leave you a comment because I LUUURRRVE cupcakes and I do have the blue sky one from cupcakecourier.com
i love how it can carry 36 cupcakes, it’s sturdy, the design is great ergonomically and everybody who is into baking who has seen it has asked me where i got it from and then got one of their own! even strangers have asked me where i got it from! the gaps in between also allow you more space if you go a bit over the top with the cupcake toppings!
the only glitch??? you do not really have much choice with the colors…i want one in purple!
luv u!
