ABSTRACT:
A food storage and transportation device primarily including a container, a plurality of removable inserts, and a lid is described. The inner surface of the container has a plurality of support members disposed on and extending from the inner surface. The removable inserts have a plurality of grooves, a set of handles, and a plurality of openings for receiving a plurality of cupcakes. In one embodiment, the support member includes first and second shoulder portions for supporting the inserts. In another embodiment, the support member has a substantially uniformly increasing profile distance from the inner surface of the container as the support member extends downwardly from the upper portion to the lower portion of the container. The inserts are provided with grooves that frictionally engage the support member. In operation, the cupcakes are placed into the respective openings with the base of the cupcakes extending through the opening, whereas the top of the cupcake is retained above a top surface of the removable insert. The removable inserts and cupcakes are then loaded into the container. At no time does any cupcake come into contact with any other cupcakes. To remove the cupcakes, the removable insert is removed from the container and placed on a flat surface, whereupon the cupcakes are conveniently dislodged from their respective openings.
