I just make a tiny tape loop from Scotch tape and stick them to the bottom of the box.

I make sure to tell the people getting them to carefully pull them out.

P. S: My cake supply has cupcake carriers made of clear plastic. They're like 1.00 for a 6 carrier.

There are various cupcake transporters you can buy at different stores. I'll try to find a link for you.

This works great, if you can find one in your area. HTH

kitchenkraft make cupcake inserts that fit directly into the box. Each insert holds 12 cupcakes and they have boxes that fit the inserts perfectly.

Otherwise you can get domed clam cupcake shells from lots of suppliers in the US

Or you can also use the cup holders they give with drinks at fast food restaurants... you would have to eat several times to get enough though... icon_confused.gif

Wow! I'm getting those inserts! In the meantime, here's a picture of how I've transported cupcakes that would be ruined if they touched the sides or each other. It's just toothpics pushed into a block of styrofoam. The cupcakes are impaled onto the toothpicks. A bit time-consuming, but it works great!

Thank you all for your suggestions. I will definitely look around. Especially in the states, I guess is the way to go. Thank you all again!! Nicole
