Supplies & Savoury Muffins

I am patiently (not really :P I'm not a patient person! BUY NOW! lol! ) awaiting the arrival of my cake pops stand from Sydney and my cupcake courier from LA! As the shipping gods would have it, the LA parcel although despatched later will probably arrive first.

I purchased my simple acrylic cake pop stand from cupcakeboxes.co.nz, figured it would arrive the quickest...not really happening   -_- There are some beautiful white wooden stands on Etsy which are tempting in future.  I also saw an acrylic/glass cake pop single layer stand within an acrylic/glass covered box on Kourtney Kardashian's kitchen bench during one episode but I've had no luck finding that - that would be my ultimate cake pop stand container!!!

Etsy has white versions similar to this
Cupcake carriers! I had to find one as it was a waste using my kraft gift boxes for J to ferry cupcakes to work if it was going to happen often enough. Also not that easy to balance 3-4 boxes! There are three 'main' options from my research and they all double up as cake carriers.

Wilton's 3-in-1 cake caddy,  it only holds a dozen cupcakes, too small for me.


Progressive Collapsible Cupcake Carrier, good option if you take public transport, collapse it once the goodies are gone. It holds 2 dozen. Although I've linked to the Homestore, you can usually find it heavily discounted elsewhere, it's even been on 1-day  website. I'm not a fan of the circular shape and design of the internal holder/stands but it is a cost effective solution.




So what did I choose? The Cupcake Courier in Petal Pink. I also love the Safron Yellow colour. Pity I can't have both :P It holds 3 dozen! And was quite a mission to source someone willing to courier to NZ. Can't wait to use it!



My black and red cupcake wrappers have finally been ordered through Homestore, I got sick of waiting two months with no sign of restocking so I threw a little tantrum after I emailed the distributor and found there was no supply shortage :P In the meantime, I got yellow and orange ones for emergency supply :)



Savoury muffins for this weekend~ Wasn't looking for a project so easy muffins, didn't even require using the mixer!
Milk and eggs to whisk

Add bacon, cheese, parsley and melted butter

Flour, baking powder, salt and sugar

Add together and stir!



Bake in tulip cups :) All done~
Did I mention little Ani likes to sample all the baking? Here are some random pics of her eyeing up sweet stuff.





And that's all for today!~
