How are you able to transport the cupcake from your home to the party without destroying it?

Very carefully.I use buttercream or frosting to 'stick' the cake to the cake board and so far I've had no issues at all and I've made and transported several of these. On one occasion I wasn't too sure since I had a lot of topping so I inserted long wooden kebab sticks through the cake from top to bottom, once I'd reached the party I pulled them out and stuck sugarpaste flowers over the holes, if the topping allows this then its a good way to put your mind at ease I also buy a cardboard cake box the same size as the cake board so there's no movement there.Like I say, fingers crossed I've had no issues so far.

Super easy! Just like any other cake! I buy these colorful plastic plates at Wal-Mart so I don't have to worry about getting them back. I decorate around the cupcake with confetti, ribbons and any other things I can think of! This cupcake is a big hit with anyone, no matter what the age. I made one for a 90 year old!

I don't think I tried to transport it before, but I would suggest trying a 8" round box with a cardboard insert for the bottom, so that it won't slide around.

You can use a cake box (they come in various sizes) also using icing (think of "glue") to secure cupcake to plate, board, etc may help. I hope this helps

I bought cupcakes from a bakery and they fit perfectly. The wrappers are delicate so give yourself plenty of time to wrap them around the cupcakes. I made the mistake of trying to do it last minute and they I ripped a couple of the wrappers.

They work best for parties. Easy to transport and easy to get out. You can also put some water in it ahead of time and freeze it. Then it will keep your eggs cool enough to leave out.

Use regular cake mixes and reduce cooking times to that of mini cupcakes. Coat the pans well otherwise the cakes will stick.

Perhaps it can be done if you put the biggest plates nearest the bottom for weight. And only if connected securely and only layering cupcakes which don't have a lot of weight. Can you do a test run before the event to be sure? If too weak, someone is liable to bump the table or rush past the tiers and they will not be steady. The higher you go, the weaker it becomes...

The train will be way too heavy for your cake. I would look for a plastic one.

Yes, you can also remove the cupcake holder to carry something else like a pie, so its pretty versatile.

Sorry, not sure. I only make them once in a while for school events. Its just nice to have so I don't have to worry about anyone not returning my cupcake holders.

Yes it can be put together without all of the tires. I would say you can get about 70 regular cupcakes on it. I have no complaints with this product.

The ball can support the cupcakes. But think about using another type of stick other than toothpicks. You can use candy apple sticks or Wooden kabob sticks and cut those to length they are more sturdy then tooth picks.

I made a chocolate cake "mountain" (one full batch of cake batter, similar in size to a cake mix) for the cake board and made the train lemon bundt cake. For some people, half a train car will be plenty and some people will eat an entire car.. Making an extra cake of some kind will be necessary for that many party goers unless you plan on making multiple trains. Good luck and have fun!

A pickup would be best to transport it but you can do it with a car as long as your back seat/s can fold down OR if they don't fold down you can shove it in far enough to have most of the weight away from the back end of the car. It's heavy, I needed an Ikea guy to help me get it in the trunk.Make sure you have some padding because any protruding latch hardware on the trunk will scratch the table through the cardboard. You need a long length of FIRM padding.

I dont see why you can't but I haven't tried it. I would just make sure the bottom is fitted really well to avoid leaking (since cake mix is not as thick as Cheesecake) and i would avoid to much batter inside. Hope this helps :)

It sits very firmly in its slot. It doesn't latch, but it takes effort to make it come out again. It should not fall out on its own while you are transporting the cake plate.

Yes. You could push them down into the cupcake and that might work. If you had a cake they would work better. Good luck.

I would suggest the regular size cupcakes, the small plate that they sit on is not that big and the jumbo cupcakes may stay on

This is a fairly heavy-duty corer. Depending on the density of the cupcake after baking, this corer might just tear through the cupcake rather than taking a nice, neat hole out of the center. I would prefer using a thin, sharp knife to cut the center out of a cupcake. The rounded edge of this corer is thick and serrated, which will probably damage the cupcake, especially if it's warm.
