As an avid cake decorator and baker, I couldn't wait to have this carrier, especially for school events! I love the ability to carry 2 dozen cupcakes but was dissappointed in the design. As the bottom tray is intended to cook in, it has standard-sized baking cups. Therefore, when you place a decorated cupcake in it it sinks down and you have to smudge the frosting to get it out! The top tray is shallow so doesn't do that. I have placed marbles in the lower tray cups to elevate the cupcakes which works.

I was very excited to get this carrier in the mail, as I've gotten somewhat obsessed with baking cupcakes lately. Overall, I think it's great. Easy to use, seals the cakes up well, can be stuck in the fridge (if you have room!) so that they keep longer, etc. However, there are some negative aspects of the product, which is why I've deducted one star. Like others have said, the bottom pan is a real cupcake pan, so once your cakes are decorated and put in there, they're a bear to get out without smudging frosting or getting your hands all goopy. I've tried the advice of others about putting something in the bottom of the cups to raise them just a bit, but then I found that the weight of the cupcakes on top caused the top rack to bow a little and smoosh into the bottom cupcakes. I've opted for goopy hands from now on and removed the "risers" on the bottom, but I'm worried what will happen if I decide to do anything more creative than just smoothing frosting on top. I wish they made one of these carriers that still held 24 cupcakes, but the bottom was a little less of a cupcake pan and more like the top rack. Also, they should put a stabilizer in the middle between the two holders because of that bowing problem with the weight of the cupcakes. But overall, it does it's job and gets my cupcakes places safely! The foil-lined box just wasn't cutting it anymore!

This looks like a good idea, but it doesn't work, for two reasons: 1) The top tray is made of a soft plastic that sags down, making a mess of the surface of the cupcakes below. 2) The bottom tray is a real muffin pan (full depth), so once you put decorated cupcakes in it, you can't get them out without getting frosting on your fingers. I do not recommend this product.

The cupcake carrier seems great but I would recommend using a different pan to bake them in or else line the pan. The top carrier is plastic but it was a great idea using a metal pan for the bottom so that it does not sag when you carry it. I did not use it for baking to keep it new looking for the next use.

This is a great cupcake carrier, but I don't bake in the bottom pan that is intended for baking. If you're making 24 cupcakes, you need to put two baking pans in the oven. This pan cannot be turned lengthwise to fit another pan next to it, because the rounded end (which the top part snaps onto) sticks out too far to fit in a conventional oven. Don't think they had any cupcake bakers on the design committee!

I was given this as a Christmas present and was initially quite excited. I like to make cupcakes for my office and for my son's daycare. I'm really disappointed with this product, however. First of all, the spacing between the two tiers is very, very narrow, causing the lower tier to become smooshed - all frosting smeared and if you have any sort of height and/or topping, decorative add-on, etc, it's going to get ruined. Secondly, the plastic second layer - the black upper level shown in the photo - is very weak and bows considerably under the weight of 12 cupcakes, which only adds to the smooshing in of the lower level. (Sadly, this plastic tray even looks bowed on the photo on the box!) I hate returning gifts, especially those that I'm so excited to have, but this is useless. Whoever engineered it did not think things through.

I received this as a gift but I use it if I only have to transport 1 doz cupcakes. I've found that the upper tray is not tall enough to fit most of my frosting efforts and it sags under the weight of a full load of cupcakes squishing into the bottom row.

I love the idea of being able to carry 24 cupcakes in one carrier, but the cupcakes in the lower tray will get smooshed if you are decorating them with anything but regular frosting. You still need to be careful carring them since they can bounce around oin the container.

If you have school age children, this is a must. It is great for school functions. I am very happy I made this purchase.
I do put marbles in the bottom pan to raise the cupcakes and make it easier to take out.

I received the Oneida Platinum cupcake pan, tray and cover for Christmas 2009. Because of medical reasons I was not able to open and use the product until Easter 2010. What a disappointment! I tried baking the cupcakes in the provided pan and also in one of my own.
1st problem the cupcakes fit too low inside the holders and you must dig or fork to get them out.
2nd problem the plastic second level that fits over the baking tray is too weak and bends down on the lower cakes destroying all frosting and decorations.
This product would have worked if only the second tier had more support.
3rd I could not return the item for something else because I didn't get the chance to open and test the product sooner.
