How would you ship cupcakes?

Question

My nephew wants "aunt seeny" to make him some cupcakes.

I live in Illinois and he lives in Texas. How would I ship them safely to my little man?

Sorry just trying different categories to get a good answer.

Answer 1

There is a great thing called a cupcake courier (link at bottom)... it keeps cupcakes from getting squished and from moving around... it is usually for transporting and storing cupcakes yourself but I'll bet you could put the whole thing in a box and mail it that way!

Answer 2

wrap them tightley in a container and ship overnight mail...i have my mom send me food all the time from back home and she packs it in a little cooler, and it gets here the next day.

make sure you put fragile in on it lol, i know there cupcakes, just so they will take extra care...good luck and hope he likes the cupcakes!!

Answer 3

just send the ingredients and let him make them himself failing that just take a picture of them and send it to him alot less fattening

Answer 4

Leave them in the cupcake pan.

Put toothpicks straight up in the middle of each cupcake to prevent them from moving.  Put a piece of cardboard ontop of the toothpicks.  Then fill any remaining space in the box with packing material.

That prevents them from moving about during shipping.  They arrive perfect.  Unlike in a tupperware container where they are in contact with each other.

Answer 5

Cupcakes would be very difficult to ship.  If you do ship them, I would ship the icing separately.  Why not try decorated cookies?  Cookies are MUCH easier to ship.  Also... if he is planning on taking these to school make sure they don't have any rules about homebaked goods.  I know at my elementary school, you cannot serve any homebaked foods for health reasons.  It is school board policy.

Answer 6

Uhh...try putting them into a tuperware containter and put that into a box....and then ship it off to the "little man"

And i'm not sure but you could tell the place that you s**+[ it off to whats inside and ask them to tell the delivery man to be carefull!!!!!

Good luck!

Answer 7

Make the cupcakes, ship them overnight, but I think the key would be to ship them unfrosted, Put the frosting in a separate container. Of course ship the container with the cupcakes, but you know what I mean. Mom can microwave the frosting so that it is right for spreading when they arrive.
