Competition Win a Cupcake Courier @ Not Quite Nigella

NQN Competition: Win 1 of 2 Cupcake Couriers!

June 12, 2008 by Not Quite Nigella

**THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED, THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR ENTRIES!**

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR WINNERS!

Carolyn W.
Emma G.

Look out for our next competition to start very soon!

Yes for all of you Cupcake fans (and realistically, who isn’t a Cupcake fan) I have the ultimate competition for you. The lovely people at the Cupcake Courier Company, makers of the ultimate cupcake transporter is giving away a Cupcake Couriers to two lucky NQN readers.

For those of you who haven’t been near a television or the internet, the Cupcake Courier is a three layer stackable cupcake transporter that fits 12 cupcakes or muffins per tray that has Oprah, Rachael Ray, Jessica Alba and Jennie Garth swooning (and we know that Bree Van der Kamp probably has one of these in her cupboard, but you know she’s always politely but firmly ask for it back afterwards). Lady O called it one of the top 10 best Innovative products.

It will ensure that your hard work decorating these babies will not be ruined en route and can also be used for storage for up to one week. It also comes in 4 colours, Blue Sky, Lemongrass, Petal Pink and Saffron Yellow.

All you have to do is tell me (or show me via a photo) of what flavour of cupcake you’d want to make to put in your Cupcake Courier. Add your entry via a comment to this story. You can enter once daily.

The competition is for Australian residents only (sorry overseas readers but it’s due to the large size and costs of sending these overseas). But they are also available to purchase overseas so you won’t feel like you’re missing out!

The competition ends midnight AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time) on the 23rd of July.

OH MY GOD I need one of those pronto. Preferably pink. I’ll be entering every day.

Sorry for the caps, I just had my morning caffeine shot.

Today’s entry: banana cupcakes with cream cheese icing. And sprinkles, of course. Delish. http://www.flickr.com/photos/9632236@N08/2543679729/in/set-72157605255997013/

Hey darl,
Where do you buy the white one?? I can’t find where to buy the white one!!

competition entry:
Ultimately I would have a different flavour for each level!
But I would love to load it up with apple crumble cupcakes complete with dessicated coconut in the crumble, drizzled with a caramel sauce.
4. Sarah | June 12, 2008 at 9:46 am | #

has to be my favourite - chocolate cupcakes with marshmallow icing!
5. Nic | June 12, 2008 at 10:35 am | #

I am so pleased that these have finally arrived in Australia at last! They are the best invention since sliced bread

As for my entry, my tastebuds tell me Jaffa Mud Cupcakes are the order of the day. Slathered in chocolate ganache and topped off, of course, with a lovely, shiny, orange Jaffa!
6. Seb | June 12, 2008 at 10:57 am | #

I’d make maple pumpkin cupcakes - good for winter =)
7. Sally Bigmore | June 12, 2008 at 11:39 am | #

Pineapple upside-dpwn cupcakes with a caramel filling.
8. Shella | June 12, 2008 at 12:08 pm | #

oh oh
I’ve wanted one of these for ages. I usually make my own cupcake origami boxes to transport them in (to sit safely within a container or large box)- making each individual box can be tiring! (but I’m becoming a pro!)

Here are my cuppies:
They are:
-caramel filled chocolate cupcakes
-with caramel fudge icing
-and a macadamia butterscotch on top!

I’d make chocolate mint cupcakes… perfect for that afternoon pick me up!
10. KK | June 12, 2008 at 1:01 pm | #

I would make dark chocolate and coffee marble cupcakes and drizzled with a dark chocolate glaze and sprinkled with dark chocolate drops.

If only someone would make this for me cos i can’t bake, neither can my dysfunctional electric oven.
11. rachel bishop | June 12, 2008 at 1:05 pm | #

oh, im so hungry just looking at the pics of these cupcakes, i’ve got so many yummy recipes to choose from, but today i;m craving my sticky-date cupcakes with rich caramel fudge icing and a dollop of double cream on top..unfortunately no pics since they never last long enough..
12. SoRMuiJAi | June 12, 2008 at 1:06 pm | #

those are so cute! I want!

Entry:
Creme brulee cupcakes - Custard filled cupcakes topped with butter cream frosting and sugar which you then use a blow torch on to create the crunchy creme brulee topping.
13. chocolatesuze | June 12, 2008 at 1:13 pm | #

heh meatcakes! http://www.chocolatesuze.com/2008/03/18/meat-cupcake
14. Alison May | June 12, 2008 at 1:23 pm | #

These look devine! Even my cupcakes will look awesome if presented in a cupcake courier!

My ideal flavour would be…
Chocolate mud cupcakes with a hot fudge topping.
Oh, with chocolate sprinkles and chocolate chips (not the cheap ones, but chips of real dark chocolate). Mmmmmmmmm.
15. Jules | June 12, 2008 at 1:53 pm | #

I’d make black forest cup cakes to put in it
16. Keren | June 12, 2008 at 1:58 pm | #

Hi everyone

So so so glad you are loving The Cupcake Courier.

Someone above asked about the White ones hehehe aren’t they fabulous!!! They aren’t in Australia yet but…they will arrive with me next month so you will be able to purchase them from my website also.

Thanks to the lovely Lorraine aka Not Quite Nigella for the awesome blog!

Can’t wait to see the fabulous entries!

Keren aka The Cupcake Courier

17. Sue | June 12, 2008 at 2:13 pm | #

mmm, lemon meringue cupcakes with plenty of lemon curd!
18. Sharnee | June 12, 2008 at 2:18 pm | #

Oh, what a great idea! No more icing-stuck-to-the-top-of-the-container!

I don’t have a photo but I would make some passionfruit cupcakes with thick, buttery, passionfruit ice cream! Yum! They may not make the cupcake courier (because they’d probably be put in my mouth first!)
19. Terina | June 12, 2008 at 2:42 pm | #

Mmm white chocolate cupcakes with thick vanilla butter icing! Yummmmm!
20. Cindy | June 12, 2008 at 2:50 pm | #

Ohhhh, absolutely any of the sweet cupcakes you can find here : http://cupcakestakethecake.blogspot.com/

How could you choose just one ?? (unless it was one of each, of course )

*Some* of the savory ones look alright, but to me, a cupcake isn’t a cupcake unless it’s sweet and covered in frosting !
21. Carol | June 12, 2008 at 2:51 pm | #

I’d make mango coconut cupcakes - bit like a pina colada… Yummo!!!
22. Claire | June 12, 2008 at 3:07 pm | #

I adore making Black forest cupcakes with chocolate ringlets, smothered in blackforest ganouche and topped with fresh berrys.

And the fantastic and never fail, magnolia cupcakes with Buttercream frosting!
23. Monika Livingston | June 12, 2008 at 3:12 pm | #

Competion entry: I would make chocolate fudge cupcakes with squirts of caramel
24. Jessa | June 12, 2008 at 3:14 pm | #

25. Leah | June 12, 2008 at 4:07 pm | #

Great product - I think they’d befabulous for my girly friends Christmas this year. So I guess Christmas theme cupcakes - Nigella’s gingerbread muffins, with a cream cheese icing, and holly on top!
26. Eunice | June 12, 2008 at 4:20 pm | #

My one will be … Caramelised fig with mascarpone icing … OR
Chestnut with maple flavoured king island cream …
27. Jane Alanthwaite | June 12, 2008 at 4:24 pm | #

It’d have to be pink, we have two little girls and are always going to some party. Boys have to like pink or miss out!
28. Danielle | June 12, 2008 at 4:48 pm | #

I would make a purple Taro cupcake with special taro purple cream in the middle of the cupcake and as the icing–> Similiar to the sweet Chinese Taro birthday cakes from Breadtop etc. Delish!
29. Maria T | June 12, 2008 at 5:40 pm | #

Chocolate mint mud cupcakes with chocolate ganache sprinkled with broken up peppermint crisp!
Mmm. peppermint crisp in a cupcake!
30. Virginia Ung | June 12, 2008 at 6:35 pm | #

Oreo cupcakes. Vanilla cupcakes with an oreo inside.

The key is in the decoration. Cookie Monster decoration as seen http://farm1.static.flickr.com/78/195728651_5b10d2d6c8.jpg?v=0
That’s what a cupcake courier is needed for! Protecting cookie monster!
31. joanne | June 12, 2008 at 6:55 pm | #

You can’t go past Chocolate cupcakes with choc frosting, best idea I’ve seen in ages.
32. Sascha | June 12, 2008 at 8:11 pm | #

These sweet delights I baked last week for a friends birthday would look perfect in a pink cupcake courier…
http://www.flickr.com/photos/27579534@N03/2572846840/
33. Jessica | June 12, 2008 at 8:29 pm | #

Oh my gosh! Anything with far too much icing. I can feel my food baby growing already…
34. Adrasteia | June 12, 2008 at 8:38 pm | #

I think that some lovely simple vanilla cupcakes with a hint of lemon and glossy white royal icing would look beautiful in the cupcake carrier.

35. Belinda McLeod | June 12, 2008 at 8:40 pm | #

I would love have vanilla cupcakes as I love vanilla
36. Adele Smith | June 12, 2008 at 8:42 pm | #

Vanilla Daisy Cupcakes
37. Anita | June 12, 2008 at 8:53 pm | #

I love this! I’ve seen the cupcake courier advertised and have hinted that I want one for my birthday.
I would love to make white chocolate butterfly cupcakes with raspberry cream. It would look fantastic in the pink or white containers and great to take to my cousins baby shower (she is having a girl).
38. Mel Mcneill | June 12, 2008 at 9:00 pm | #

I would like Kahlua flavoured cupcakes, with chocolate butter icing on top….mmmm, making me hungry now
39. Jo | June 12, 2008 at 10:03 pm | #

Yummy Choc Swirl cupcakes lightly dusted with icing sugar served with a dollop of cream, when you bite into them rich decadent chocolate oozes from the centre, Yum!!
40. Moya Lum | June 12, 2008 at 10:13 pm | #

Love your blog, I get to enjoy the food with none of the calories! My entry would be something quite simple yet luxurious on the tongue.
Saffron flavoured cupcakes with vanilla and a creamy butter icing decorated with little bits of preserved orange peel and crystalised pear, maybe even a tiny dice of the two in the cakemix itself, yum! Now I’ll have to really make up a recipe for this.
41. cheryl | June 12, 2008 at 10:59 pm | #

WOW a special container to take my delicious cup cakes to parties in.
I would make my special apricot jam and vegemite cup cakes, with orange cream cheese icing. One taste and you will be addicted too.
42. Kristy Sweeney | June 12, 2008 at 11:06 pm | #

When I saw the cupcake courier advertised , I wanted one desperately. I love to bake and cupcakes are hard to transport. I would make my Delicate Vanilla Cupcakes with butter cream icing decorated with sugar roses in pink and lavander.
43. steph | June 12, 2008 at 11:10 pm | #

Oh how I wished I lived in Australia! I must say though it’s on the top of my list for places I NEED to travel to some day. If I could play this game I would say I would put in the dark chocolate cupcakes I made recently… so tasty
http://stephchows.blogspot.com/2008/05/best-chocolate-cupcakes-ever.html
44. Kim | June 12, 2008 at 11:25 pm | #

I would have a orange icing with crushed violet crumble sprinkled on top.
45. Annie | June 12, 2008 at 11:34 pm | #

I’d make a beer cupcake with cream cheese fluffy frosting on top and a few peanuts sprinkled on top to go with the beer
46. L | June 13, 2008 at 7:45 am | #

Rich chocolate mud. dark chocolate ganache. ohhh myy god..
47. SydneyGal | June 13, 2008 at 8:22 am | #

Although these couldn’t be taken to school by my children, I’d love to make some snickers cupcakes with chocolate peanut butter swirl icing. Hmmm, chocolates and peanuts.
48. Amanda | June 13, 2008 at 9:09 am | #

My entry is my absolute all time favourite: Tiramisu Cupcakes with a mascarpone and Kahlua filling, a liquid coffee layer poured over the top, then finished with a cream cheese frosting. Noms.
49. sascha | June 13, 2008 at 11:38 am | #

These sweet delights I made for a friend’s birthday would look great in a pink cupcake courier…

50. sarz | June 13, 2008 at 12:14 pm | #

I am going to say the humble classic vanilla cupcake with lemon buttercream frosting. Now that I can say that I can successfully pipe the frosting I am taking orders from friends and family for birthdays so the cupcake courier is next on my list of must haves:)

http://bp3.blogger.com/_9U_Wi_xs69o/SFEZ8FtATjI/AAAAAAAAABI/4Hyr3X5NfRA/s1600-h/VanillaCupcakes.jpg
51. lisa | June 13, 2008 at 1:56 pm | #

What a fabulous invention!
I would put some Earl Grey infused Vanilla Cupcakes with a slightly lemon butter cream icing
52. Fifi la Cupcakes | June 13, 2008 at 2:12 pm | #

Oh Miss NQN, you read my wish list?! Have been eyeing these off - they sure beat carting cupcakes around in shoeboxes!

I would put dulce de leche soaked vanilla cupcakes with vanilla bean buttercream frosting drizzled with MORE dulce de leche on top in these carriers on the first day!

Yum! Fiona
53. Nerida | June 13, 2008 at 3:08 pm | #

Icecream cupcakes!

54. Mildred | June 13, 2008 at 4:32 pm | #

Vanilla butter cupcake with lemon cream cheese icing with passionfruit pulp on top.

Just thinking about it i’m getting the urge to go bake them!
55. GD | June 13, 2008 at 7:19 pm | #

Vanilla flavoured with vanilla beans, fluffy pink icing and decorated with marshmallows.
56. sidanmum | June 13, 2008 at 7:20 pm | #

I’ve need a caffine fix, so how about mocha/vanilla swirl cupcakes with coffee glace icing topped with shaved dark chocolate?
57. Phillip Cunningham | June 13, 2008 at 7:28 pm | #

I would have chocolate on the bottom half of the cupcake, strawberry as the top half and coffee flavoured sprinkles on the very top of the cupcake.
58. cyn | June 13, 2008 at 10:38 pm | #

mmm. give me a tray of hazelnutty cupcakes with armagnac soaked prunes pretty please!
59. thecoffeesnob | June 14, 2008 at 4:59 am | #

Ooh what a ingenious product! Mine would be filled with these vanilla babies topped with smooth, glossy royal icing.

60. sormuijai | June 14, 2008 at 10:39 am | #

apple crumble cupcake. Chunks of apple in the cupcake, icing, topped with apple crumble crumble!
61. Adrasteia | June 14, 2008 at 12:27 pm | #

Today I want little semolina cupcakes made with ricotta and almond meal (diabetic friendly and low GI!) with a little pot of berry compote to top them with after taking them from the cupcake carrier
62. stacey | June 14, 2008 at 2:58 pm | #

i made these cupcakes last month for my friend’s birthday and i still dream of the frosting….
champagne cupcakes with marshmallow frosting and flaked coconut.
YUM!!!!!

The Cupcake Courier would have been really handy when my family helped me make 6 dozen cupcakes for my wedding cake (although we only iced about half that amount) and then transported them for my cupcake tier (and fruitcake top)

Here’s a pic of them on the trolley in the handmade origami boxes my bridesmaid and I folded and folded and folded….

Choc and Vanilla Cupcakes with Pink Bakers Frosting (like the artifical cream in a jam donut) - my parents in law are bakers so we made this at home with the special bakers margarine!

I would like to carry vanilla cupcakes with rose flavoured pink icing. My daughters favourite.
65. Janet | June 14, 2008 at 6:51 pm | #

I love lemon cupcakes with the tops cut off. Chocolate icing and the top put back on as wings. Mmmmmm my mouth is watering.
66. SydneyGal | June 14, 2008 at 7:04 pm | #

Today’s cupcakes (and I actually made these today, so they really are today’s cupcakes): coconut and lemon cupcakes with lemon icing, topped with toasted coconut.

They’re getting two thumbs up from my children - if only I had an appropriate container I could handily carry them into work and share the joy amongst my colleagues …
67. Eunice | June 14, 2008 at 9:51 pm | #

My entry for today …

Buttery rose cupcake with rosewater icing

68. Emma | June 14, 2008 at 10:12 pm | #

mmmm… Banana Walnut cup cakes. I didnt take a photo when I made them but this is the recipe
http://www.cupcakerecipes.com/bananarecipe.htm
Some I assembled as per the recipe (cut in half horizontally)and some I kind of scooped out a cone shape from the top and then jammed in the filling and bananas and cream.
Either way absolutely delish but impossible to transport conventionally!
69. Anita | June 14, 2008 at 10:56 pm | #

A great idea for a small picnic would be to have three different types of cupcakes/muffins – one for each layer of the cupcake courier.
I would choose pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese icing for a starter; cheese, bacon and chive muffins for a main; and chocolate hazelnut cupcakes covered in chocolate ganache for the desert.
70. melissah | June 14, 2008 at 11:23 pm | #

The Cupcake Couriers are gorgeous!

The cupcakes I would like to carry in them are raspberry cheesecake cupcakes with a decadent white chocolate ganache and raspberries on top!
71. sparklygreenknickers | June 15, 2008 at 12:33 am | #

Yum, so many delicious suggestions already. My first answer would be hummingbird cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, but like someone else suggested - I’d like different flavours for each layer! How about lemon yoghurt for the second layer, and rhubarb for a third. Mmmm, making me hungry just thinking about it!
72. Julia Oberhardt | June 15, 2008 at 9:56 am | #

I saw these months ago, & was wondering how I was going to get one in Australia! How exciting it is to know it is possible. My choices now would be for each layer:
Pistachio Zinger
Carrot cupcakes with Cream cheese frosting
Pecan Coffee Crunch…
hmmm yummmmm!..Julia
73. Sascha | June 15, 2008 at 10:08 am | #

These sweet delights I baked for a friends birthday would have looked perfect in a pink cupcake courier…

74. SydneyGal | June 15, 2008 at 11:43 am | #

Today’s cupcake choice for me is the 4 dozen vanilla cupcakes and 1 dozen chocolate cupcakes I’ll have to make in a few weeks time for my daughter’s cupcake decorating 8th birthday party.

I’ll use Nigella’s recipe, of course. There’ll be about 8 different coloured fondants, cutters, dusts, sprinkles and icing roses, enough for 8 children to make an enormous mess with. I’m expecting the carpet will be edible by the time it’s done.

Imagine how lovely they’d look in the cupcake courier ….
75. Marcia | June 15, 2008 at 12:09 pm | #

My children voted for the cupcake courier to be filled with Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting and topped with shavings of white chocolate!
76. Adrasteia | June 15, 2008 at 3:08 pm | #

Something a little fancier today: some Gateau Surprise Chocolat Pistache made from a recipe posted by Heidi at 101 Cookbooks.

http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/000143.html

I love these cupcakes, chocolate and pistachio go so beautifully together, just like cupcakes and the cupcake carrier
77. Narelle Steckyj | June 15, 2008 at 8:05 pm | #

NQN, You have the best competitions. I love food and love your website. My favorite cupcake would have to be - Tiramisu….a rich chocolate cupcake with Belgian milk chocolate icing with a shot of expresso and garnished with mascaphone and a curl of chocolate. Yummo!
78. Carolyn | June 15, 2008 at 10:30 pm | #

I only just found your site, and loving it!!!

My 1st entry will have to be:
Fragrant cinnamon cupcake with chocolate bits, topped with fresh cream and chocolate honeycomb.
http://s279.photobucket.com/albums/kk126/atouchoftaste/?action=view&current=178_9080.jpg
79. Fiona | June 15, 2008 at 10:54 pm | #

How have I only found this now?!?

Currently, I’m going through a nuts phase. I would put almond and orange cupcakes with vanilla buttercream icing in these cute-as-a-cupcake courier. They sure as heck beat transporting cupcakes in shoe boxes ala me-right-now. Plus I’m running out of shoe boxes…I guess I could just buy more shoes
80. the airy fairy | June 16, 2008 at 4:45 am | #

boo hoo…i can’t enter :’(
my cupcakes are not worth eating without the joy of transportation in the cupcake courier…i can hear them from here shedding drips of icing in the kitchen at the thought if it all…
81. Lily&Cino | June 16, 2008 at 8:56 am | #

Wow, my knees just went week at the sight of this cupcake lovers’ dream!

Now the prefect cupcake to make for this carrier? Well it would have to be a picnic cupcake (to be toted in my carrier to an idyllic under-tree setting) like a banana walnut cupcake with cinnamon cream cheese frosting! Yum!
82. Adrasteia | June 16, 2008 at 8:59 am | #

For coffee fans, today I want to put short black cupcakes into the cupcake carrier.

http://bp2.blogger.com/_KgprOF8rDy8/R518V2J0ekI/AAAAAAAAARY/GKq3qYPJJ24/s1600-h/IMG_1570.JPG

The recipe comes from JenJen’s blog, Milk and Cookies and is really really good!
83. Sara-May | June 16, 2008 at 9:34 am | #

I made the cupcakes to go in it, but they all got eaten before I could take a photo! They were delicious dark chocolate and coconut mud cupcakes with raspberries mixed through, with a raspberry glace icing and a dark chocolate curl as a garnish….. sooooo yummy!
84. choc lover | June 16, 2008 at 10:06 am | #

I LOVE chocolate and therefore a chocolate theme is a must.
White chocolate cupcakes, milk chocolate cupcakes and dark chocolate cupcakes each with their matching chocolate ganche and chocolate curls from the two other chocolates.
85. elenia | June 16, 2008 at 2:48 pm | #

To begin I would have a pistachio and rosewater cupcake. Then I would want to place red velvet cupcakes. And lastly i would make simple vanilla cupcakes.
86. elenia | June 16, 2008 at 2:49 pm | #

To begin I would have a pistachio and rosewater cupcake.Nice and subtle flavours
87. Melissa Joy | June 16, 2008 at 5:23 pm | #

I’d have to go with three layers of pink! Vanilla/White choc cuppies, with various pink icings - see here for examples http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=954652&id=546520142
88. melissah | June 16, 2008 at 7:44 pm | #

I love this competition - it has given me some great ideas of different cupcake flavours to make at a later date!

My entry today is Rocky Road Cupcakes! A chocolate flavoured cupcaked drizzled with a mix of milk chocolate, marshmallows, turkish delight and peanuts, sprinkled with coconut on top. Yum!
89. Suze | June 16, 2008 at 8:09 pm | #

YUM! I would make s’more cupcakes with melted marshmallows, chocolate, peanut butter and biscuit crumbs on top
90. PumpkinEater | June 16, 2008 at 9:46 pm | #

I liked Anita’s idea of one cupcake type for each layer. So I’ve chosen:
Layer 1: Orange and Poppy Seed Cupcakes, with orange icing
Layer 2: Carrot Cake Cupcakes, with a cream-cheese icing
Layer 3: Spiced Sweet Pumpkin Cupcakes with caramelised ginger icing
91. Maria | June 17, 2008 at 12:05 am | #

Wow, I have arrived here at *83 comments*!! How does one follow all of these?

97. pea & pear | June 17, 2008 at 9:50 pm | #

I know this is terribly boring but what I really want to put in my cupcake courier is vanilla cupcakes with pink frosting. Oh the joy of childhood cupcakes before things got so complicated.
(Even though I was salivating over all of the above suggestions)

On the first layer I’d have Sweet Potato cupcakes with vanilla icing.
On the second layer I’d have German chocolate cupcake with chocolate nut icing
Last but not least on the third is simple lemon cupcakes with lemon icing.

I’m sure my fiance will be happy that I will stop talking about cupcakes non-stop (as I have been for the last 1-2 weeks)
Hope you enjoy your trip, NQN, look forward to hearing about all the exciting food!
121. SydneyGal | June 23, 2008 at 6:38 pm | #

Oh geez I’ve forgotten about this and haven’t been doing a daily entry.

In honour of the cake I made yesterday, I’m going to say that today’s entry would have to be the classic, never out of style or taste, chocolate on chocolate. Maybe with extra chocolate added.
122. pea & pear | June 23, 2008 at 10:22 pm | #

My entry for today (as requested by a colleague) is vegan banana cupcakes with peanut butter-cream icing. Yes, you use smooth peanut butter instead of butter in the buttercream icing. Sounds interesting, no?

155. Leash | July 3, 2008 at 9:43 am | #

The Cupcake Courier would be perfect for my Carrot and Walnut cupcakes with cream cheese icing. I like to pile the icing on but I always end up losing half of it to the bottom of another muffin (or the lid of a container!). This would be PERFECT to transport my creations!!!!!
156. Diane | July 3, 2008 at 10:12 am | #

I will enter my fruit mince and brandy cupcakes - perfect for Christmas in July parties!
