When you don't change the subject to something other than the default<br>
digest subject and provide text you're referring to, we have no context. :)<br>

We've been working something out for the past month. Can't believe he's<br>
so enthusiastic about it. :P<br>

Idea for this:<br>
* Thermoformed 2-part blisterpack in shape of pristine cupcake. A similar<br>
geometry to the Buckycube packaging.<br>
* A partly sacrificial topping with the texture of coconut to protect the<br>
icing.<br>
* Pack suspended within package.<br>

A quick and easy alternative would be to wrap/seal the cupcake in plastic<br>
wrap and then use expanding foam to seal it in the box for shipment, but<br>
probably better to manufacture two halves of foam form fitting padding so<br>
they recipient can actually get it out without destroying or contaminating<br>
the cupcake. Suspension would still be possible if you used a relatively<br>
small box for the form.<br>
