I have three different cupcake caddies, and this is by far the best. It has an easy and secure lock, wide and steady handle (I had an ugly cupcake spill in the school parking lot with another caddy), and plenty of head room for icing and decorations. The cupcakes are not as deep in their pockets as they are in the bake-n-carry caddies, but I've never had an incident. Also, this makes it easier to place them in there (and keep clean hands).

I do not recommend this for cupcakes. It is so big and bulky for only holding 12 regular cupcakes. Also cost too much money when you need 2 or 4. People usually make cupcakes in 2 dozens with the cake mix and this is not very practical. The holders are very shallow and the cupcakes especially the mini cupcakes spill all over the place I do not recommend this at all.
I think the Cupcake Courier sold at dillards and amazon seen on Rachael Ray is more practical.

This case is fine for protecting your baked goods in a home kitchen or refrigerator. It is almost useless for it's main selling point-transporting items between locations. As noted by other bakers, cupcakes do NOT stay put in the shallow cavities. My cupcakes (mini or full size) have not survived one trip in this disastrous design.

In addition, the case is not high enough to accommodate cakes with multiple layers or tall frosting creations.

I say we bring back cookies for classroom birthdays...

The tray that is supposed to hold cupcakes does not work, your cupcakes will spill all over the place inside of the container, even while holding it level by the carrier handle. Just bought this yesterday and didnt make it out of the house without the cupcakes spilling all over themselves and clumping together in one big mess in the middle. Not good at all for cupcakes- the slots for positioning them are so shallow it cannot possibly hold them in place. Wish I had known before ruining my son's birthday cupcakes for school that I spent hours on. I plan on returning this product today.

The first time I used this, I decided I would never use it for cupcakes again. The "lip" that holds each cupcake in place is so short that it doesn't keep the cupcakes from tipping. My pretty cupcakes were messed up!

I WOULD use this if I needed to transport a sheetcake, though. The handle is comfortable and the latches are VERY secure. It's a great carrier, just not for cupcakes.

This caddy is great for 9x13 cakes but cupcakes will tip over. The mini cupcakes I brought to my family Thanksgiving were ruined by the time we got to my sister's. The little edges aren't high enough to keep the cupcakes in place.

I used this to carry cupcakes to my son's Halloween party with disastrous results. I noticed that the rings were not very deep prior to placing the cupcakes in the caddy. However, I wrongly assumed all would be okay. This must have been tested prior to marketing I thought. WRONG!! My cupcakes tipped over before we even made it out of the driveway and the cupcakes I spent an hour decorating were ruined. I have since researched and found that this is a common complaint and the Cupcake Courier is the answer. I will be purchasing one.
If you need a cake carrier this caddy works great.

I picked up one of these because sometimes I need to transport 9x13 sheet cakes to work. This caddy will accommodate the sheet cake, but the holder overall is about half an inch too wide to fit into my side-by-side fridge!

If they'd de-emphasized the curve on the short sides, all would have been fine. I'm not sure how many side-by-side fridges have the same measurements, but be forewarned about it if you make a lot of cakes that need to be refrigerated (I like to use whipped cream frosting on a lot of cakes).

The cupcake holder is kind of silly as it only has spots for 12 cupcakes. Since when does anyone ever need to transport only 12 cupcakes? I picked up a different holder at the local outlet mall that holds 27 *and* will fit in the fridge, but I'll have to take some measurements before I buy a replacement holder for my 9x13 cakes...

I also had a cupcake spill due to the fact that the sides/holders for the cupcakes are not high enough. But, because they are low, I could cram some mini cupcakes onto the same area as the regular cupcakes. It is rather large and bulky, but it is easy to carry and I actually like how the sides clip to hold the lid. It would be great for a sheet cake, I think - mediocre for cupcakes.
