Have Cupcakes, Will Travel

Hope you enjoyed your Superbowl Sunday as much as I did.  We spent the day lounging at my friends’ three-story townhouse in Jersey City; what a luxury to us cramped New Yorkers.  She prepared a savory spread for us to nibble on while we awaited the big game.  And then we had dinner.  And then dessert.  Whew!

A few of the guests brought their own culinary goodies.  Which got me thinking- aren’t there cute, practical ways to transport a homemade dish to the party?  I did a little searching and came up with these good options:

A collapsible mixing bowl that you can use for chips or popcorn.

I love how this cheese platter is self-contained making it easy to carry and store.

Bright prints give a modern twist to the casserole carrier that I remember from my mom’s kitchen.

And this vintage-inspired cupcake carrier is just one more reason why you should ALWAYS bring cupcakes to a party.

I also found these great small plates that hold both your appetizers and wine glass.  Problem solved!

Tell me, Appleshiners, how do you take your treats to the party?
