BEST Cupcake Containers
I’m a home baker and I specialize in cupcakes. These were the first containers I ever bought. I didn’t have any experience and thought they were fine, but didn’t really have much experience to offer an opinion. It’s been a couple years now and I’ve tried some other brands so this is a real review. I have to mention that I hate leaving reviews so I only do them when I find a product that’s truly worth it and I want people to know how great it is from a real person. I use them constantly so I have a lot of experience. They are my absolute favorite!!I like how the tops and bottoms come separate. The plastic is at least twice as thick as other containers. The cone pieces in the top create a really sturdy structure. I stack these a few high and they don’t sag or sink in the middle. They are tall inside giving you lots of room to pile up your frosting and add toppers without them getting smashed and ruined. I pile my frosting high and add cookies or candy in the top of them and I’ve never had the top come close to smashing my cupcakes. The little grooved pattern on top may just seem like it’s aesthetics, but it actually works great to stack your containers on top of each other. That little line kind of locks them in and holds them in place more so than other brands that would slide right off if you stacked them. The price is fantastic for the quality. They snap together tightly and make for a beautiful presentation. People always think they came from a commercial bakery because of the presentation. Here’s a great tip to get the cupcakes in the container. Chill your cupcakes in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes and let the frosting firm up. Grab a LARGE fork with the longer tines and slide it between the outside of the cupcake wrapper and the muffin tin and lift it up so it’s easy to grab the bottom. The frosting won’t get damaged and will be much more forgiving if it does tip or get knocked by your hand. I use one hand to balance the cupcakes and the fork in the other hand to help slide it into the correct place. These are really great and have become my favorite to use. If you aren’t sure what the differences are between containers or you don’t know what you should be looking for, I hope this helps! Buy them. :)
