Cupcake Wars
After hours of researching, preparing, baking, cooling, frosting, and adding the perfect topper to each individual cupcake (that by now, you love more than your own flesh and blood)...you come to the realization that you have to transport these precious angels. But, how?! You cannot risk the frosting getting smudged or a cupcake accidentally toppling over while in commute to their final destination.
Welcome to the Cupcake War.
This longtime battle between beauty and commuting has led to many carriers (or should I say protectors) to be made that all claim to be efficient and convenient.
