Cooking Cup Cakes.. Help!! traveling

[pfishgirl]

DS is having an 18th *yes, 18th* Birthday Bash at a local Dance Club.. They are having Teen night that night so we reserved the Party room upstairs for him and his friends... Mom & Dad are paying the cover charged for all his friends as well as having a Bunch of Pizzas delivered to the room..

soo, He asks "Mommy" to bake him some of her delicious cupcakes for his party.. Now of course I will never refuse him cupcakes.. Then he tells me well I will need about 60 of them!! He figured 2 per person and he will have at least 30 people there..

My question is... How to I get them from Home to the Club without them getting destroyed? I can't cover them without the iceing to get ruined.. I don't want to send them with him cause they'll never make it in one piece.. But I'm at a loss.. I don't have big enough boxes or containers for that many.. Plus, I know the containers will get forgotten at the club so I don't want to use my good Tupperware..

Any ideas? Help?

I can go early and will to set up the room.. Some of his female friends and I are decorating the room ahead of time to surprise him..

Thanks in advance

Can you bring the cupcakes unfrosted and frost them when you get there? That is what I try to do when I have to move cupcakes. If the cupcakes tip over on the way, it just isn't a biggie.

Also - if you have a Michaels near you, they usually have cake boxes, in the cake decorating area, which are perfect for cakes/cupcakes. We also use the disposable aluminum pans, that we buy in bulk from Sams club, they are also sold in "party good" stores.

When I supply them for the school parties I use old ice cream tubs or old biscuit tins (the kind people give you at Christmas, or you buy with biscuits for cheese in and end up making a big mound in your cupboard before falling all over you when you're trying to get something else ) But our frosting sets and I know yours stays soft. So I'd go with the ice them on site route

Can you ask you local grocery store if you can get the cupcake containers they sell theirs in? Here, Publix does that.

I've done this a few times, you can move them frosted or unfrosted. I get some disposable aluminum cupcake pans at the store and then get cardboard flats from the grocery or soda store - you know, the inch to 2 inch high cardboard box bottom that the stores display cans in.

If you cannot get the boxes then I put them in my roasting pans (I have 3 of them) or oblong laundry baskets.

Thank you very much for your ideas.. I think just packing them unfrosted would be the best since there will be 60+ cupcakes.. I could even leave them on Cookie Sheets to travel and set up a table just for the cupcakes..

Thank you again so much

I always put them in the top of a computer paper box. WB Mason box tops work the best.
