For my sons birthday I have ellected to make cupcakes for everyone and a duck shaped cake. There will be approx 40 people at the party, so I was planning to make 50 cupcakes, plus the single cake for my son to mash up (it's his first b-day). I will not be able to bake and decorate them on location and I will have to trasnport them in our van, about a 30-45 min drive. Does anyone have any advice how to do this without spending a fortune on cupcake holder things, or know where I can get a huge holder for a somewhat reasonable price? Please help, im stressing this and would love to have a plan ahead of time. Thanks for your help!

Go to the aisle in the grocery store where they sell ziploc bags. They should also have foil pans there, with plastic lids. Sometimes they even have foil muffin pans! But, even if they don't, just pop the cupcakes in the pan, putting crumbled foil in between them for stability, if you think they need it. The bonus here is that you don't need to remember a pan when you leave the party! It can just go into recycling or trash.

Try signing up for the discussion forunm at the Wilton website. The forum is full of professional decorators who deal with these issues all the time.
A suggestion, use small boxes to transport the cupcakes in, like box lids that come on the Avon boxes. Place crumpled up paper towels around the cup cakes to keep them from slidiing into each other.

Well you can get silicone cupcake trays at the dollarama. that would be $7 for 42 cupcakes. They are kind of small though.
Otherwise if you just place them in a large flat box touching each other there may be some minor damage to the icing, but that's how the very expensive bakery I worked for shipped them. You may need to ball up some wax paper to make the box the right size to prevent them from slipping around.

Id get one of those under the bed storage plastic boxes. Then if you didnt want to have each cupcake next to eachother, you could get cardboard the length and width of the container. Cut slats in each to match the perimeter of the cupcake. Then put the slats togehter to make a matrix (think tic tac toe board) Youll see this kind of thing in who glasses or bottles of wine come in a box.
Drat - thought of this after I typed all that - an ornament box or boxes.

You can use box tops that are about two inches or more deep (like the ones that come from boxes of printer paper). Just fill with a couple of sheets of tissue paper to dress them up. You can also use cake pans. I have large Wilton cake pans that I use to transport things like that. You can also use jelly roll pans. Or just cut a box down to size. Aluminum cake pans are pretty cheap.

searching on what you intend to serve on,i might want to flow to the community end and flow and ask for some soda or beer apartments.The packing packing containers that are about 3" severe after which foil the bottom n facets sturdy.Then take and bake the cupcakes and placed them in there cover with foil or saran wrap.in simple terms bear in mind that you would possibly want to need to take a nicer plate to serve them from.I do it with all sorts of issues I take to cookouts or social gathering's.Then throw them away.Plus loose is a good looking good element.They keep on spills also.desire this enables.

my grand mother makes weding cakes and we had to help her move them into the minivan and to the weding verry carefully. if you can get some to ride along with you and atleast hold some part of it all in there lap. if not we simply used simple ruber maid plastic containers nothing fancy and wedged them in the back of the van carefully so they wouldnt slide all over and drove carefully. my grand ma also carries extra icing with her incase something does get bumped so that way she can fix it quickly on location.
