I made up batches of these, then bought styrofoam take out containers from our wholesale store. Put about 16 muffins in the container, put a cute label on the top of container with name and info. Then included a letter with the following information. Took one day around lunch and went to area businesses and asked if they'd like to top off their lunch with a little dessert. I got 3 bookings last year doing this, as well as a catalog show that ended up being over $700.00. Plus, I have had orders from people in these offices that have placed orders. I had my documents made up in Publisher, and I know some can't open, so I just put the info here.
