Space saving, holds cupcakes, amazing!
By Jenna Riane
I purchased this a few weeks ago because I’m always making cupcakes and never have an easy way to fetch them anywhere. Most cupcake holders hold 12 cupcakes or crush the frosting. The other problem is that most holders take up so much room when you need to store them that it’s not worth having them in the initial place. This holds 24 cupcakes and has sufficient headroom to prevent frosting mishaps. It also has an ingenuous collapsible design to grant it to take up less than half it is original height. I’ll break down the positives and negatives:
POSITIVES:
- Collapsible, space-saving design
- Holds 12-24 cupcakes – you choose! Use one tray for 12, 2 trays for 24.
- Included cupcake trays are nice to look at, easy to clean, and have finger-holes to concede having little impact remotion of person cupcakes
- Cupcakes have sufficient headroom on both levels for mounds of frosting or decorations
- Use it with cake rather of cupcakes if you want by just removing the trays altogether.
NEGATIVES:
- The included cupcake trays don’t interlock with the base in any way. They in truth slide around rather a bit until you put the cover on. This gives rise to a problem for loading and for unloading. If they had made a little groove that the tray could have sat in or a way to lock them in place without the cover, it would have increased the stability of the trays for loading and unloading. NOTE: They don’t move when you put the lid on, only with the lid off!
- I doubt the handle is going to be strong sufficient for keeping heavy cakes. I don’t frankly suppose to hold a cake caddy by the handle, altho – some cakes may weigh a lot and I’m not going to trust a handle with my time-consuming precious baked masterpiece. I always carry from the bottom. Still, the handle has the very primary occupation on this cake caddy of being capable to exaggerate the thing from collapsed to full.
- Requires a reasonable amount of strength to uncollapse.
- Kind of ugly. The red band is genuinely not a nice color. I would have preferent it in white. It actually goes with not one thing – it’s not Christmas red, it’s more of a maroon, but even then, it’s not REALLY maroon, either. It’s just not beauteous and it looks dated now, it’s going to look even more dated in a few more years.
- Cupcakes could flip sideways/over if you’re not careful. I had no mishaps bringing cupcakes where they necessitated to go because I was very careful, but bringing the cupcakes home I was less careful and a great deal of of the leftovers flipped on their sides.
Overall, I would unquestionably commend this. The trays are made of high-quality plastic that doesn’t stain (black feed coloring sat on it for 7 days and came right off without even any soap). The locks feel secure. The space-saving design sets it detached from each other cake caddy on the market. And it may hold 24 cupcakes without much trouble. Even even though it’s ugly and the trays slide around initially, I think it’s a pretty good product.

Clever design, cheap manufacture.
By F. Webb
If you buy this carrier, replace the handle even if you don’t plan to carry it by the handle. The provided handle is a tragic accident waiting to happen. Just make sure that the substitute handle is designed so it wont slide down into the carrier and drape in your frosting.
The carrier is cleverly designed, but it’s cheaply made. The raised cupcake tray stands on more or less wobbly stilts, attached to the lower cupcake tray. The lower cupcake tray doesn’t in truth attach to the base. As a another commenter pointed out, the circumstance is stabilized by the lid being in place, so it shouldn’t be a problem if you’re careful while loading it up.
The collapsing action is okay. The red rubber in the middle folds down so the carrier is only half height for storage, but it’s firm sufficient that it shouldn’t without advance planning fold down and crush your baked goods, altho you ought to not try to rest anything on top of the carrier. It would have been better if there were stabilizers to keep this from being an issue, but it’s a little risk. (I haven’t been using it long sufficient to know how much the rubber will soften with use.)
The only terrible feature for me was the one that left me standing in my driveway mourning ruined cupcakes when the cheap handle broke the introductory time I employed it. It wasn’t even full. There’s actually no pardon for this. The carrier is designed to be carried by the handle. With a substitute handle, the carrier is a good one. If not for the lousy handle, the carrier would have been worth another star or even two, but as it is, it is a product that has ruined a great deal of people’s days and will destruct a good deal of more.
I in all likelihood wont buy any more productions from Progressive. I wont trust that they don’t have any other critical and stupid flaws.

Not worth buying
By L. Taylor
I purchased this for a cake embellishing class I was taking. I applied it twice and when I was carrying my beautifully prettified cake out of class the second night the carrier handle broke and the cake dropped to the floor. If I would have known the handle was made so severely I wouldn’t have purchased this item. Don’t waste your money!
