FOUND: Guess Who Ships Cupcakes?
Posted by GoodLuckDeluxe under Food and Beverages , Sweet Sunday , Nationwide Eats
I deserve some sort of reward for sleuthing this one out for all of you cupcake enthusiasts. I have finally found a bakery that ships frosted cupcakes!
Yes, I’m a genius, I know. 
You’d think this would be a simple proposition: You like cupcakes. You see some
frosted ones that you’d like to inhale. You order. They’re shipped to you. BUT NO!
Not even Sprinkles cupcakes will ship!
Introducing Mrs. Beasley’s Shippable Cupcakes!
Per the Mrs. Beasley’s site:
“Each Beasley shippable cupcake is handmade, weighs approximately 4.5 ounces, and has ½ inch of frosting evenly distributed on the cupcake. Each Beasley shippable cupcake is topped with a special goody or ornament.
The Beasley shippable cupcakes are available in special 6 or 12 packs and in a variety of seasonal and themed boxes and towers. They are packed in dry ice so that the frosting arrives cold and firm. The cupcakes should be refrigerated upon receipt and brought to room temperature for consumption. For a special treat, place the cupcake in the microwave for 5-7 seconds and you’ll have a restaurant quality dessert.
Please note that this product is shipped with dry ice and therefore special shipping rules apply. Due to the hot weather, Overnight Shipping is only available. Overnight shipping can be done anytime Monday through Thursday. Please see our disclaimer for more details. Cupcakes cannot be shipped to P.O. Boxes.”
But it’s THESE unshippable mamma-jammas that I want!
Sorry Strawberry Colossal cupcake with bits of strawberry, perhaps in another lifetime…
Some of you might think I’m being facetious, but this was a REAL problem for a lot of us. The answer to the age-old question of, “Who ships cupcakes?” has been found, right here, on my wonderful blog. I told you I’m a wealth of information!
In other cupcake news…
Many of you cupcake addicts already know about CUP-A-CAKE, the revolutionary plastic cupcake shipping device. From reading various reviews online, CUP-A-CAKE actually works without smooshing the cupcakes’ frosting. Your cupcakes arrive intact!
But you can’t withhold vital information such as this. E-mail this article to all of your friends!

Where do they get the dry ice? Is it expensive?

Catarah,
I have no idea where they get the dry ice, but that’s a good question! I wouldn’t imagine that dry ice would be all that costly.
I’ve had chocolate-dipped strawberries sent to me that were packed on dry ice packs. There were like four ice packs in the shipment.
The day someone can figure out a way to create an AFFORDABLE device that will ship a large volume of frosted cupcakes (not just one or two!), that person will be a gazillionaire.
No bakery or baker has figured out how to do it yet.
So all you ergonomically-minded folks - hop to it! Hungry mouths are waiting.
