I'd like to share a helpful tip that one of my readers sent to me recently. She found a useful reuse idea for the small tub butter containers. You know the ones that come two in a pack? She was packing a lunch for her child and she wanted to include a cupcake that was left over from dessert the previous evening. As most of us know a baggie doesn't work, foil is ok, but inevitably some of the frosting gets on it and there is potential for a real mess. There are a few specialized cupcake holders on the market, but why pay for something you can get for free?
Our reader suggests using the small tub butter container. After it's initial intended use, wash and instead of recycling, reuse! The cupcake fits perfectly! A handy way to transport a childs favorite lunch snack.
