You just spent hours in the kitchen baking and decorating your child’s birthday cake and now the only thing left is to transport it to the party location. You suddenly realize you have nothing to place the cake in to transport it so this is where the help of a cake box can be quite beneficial. Whether it is a birthday cake, anniversary cake or a wedding cake, cupcake and cake boxes are specifically designed to store and protect your cakes while transporting them to their final destination.

The boxes can be an inexpensive purchase depending on how fancy you want it to be.  A real fancy one may end up costing you around $50. Individual box prices can add up too depending on how many you need for the event.  Most of the boxes come in white or opaque and their size and shape will vary based on the dimensions of the cake itself. Wedding cake boxes come in two distinct categories which are individual cupcake boxes for wedding cakes made solely from a beautiful arrangement of cupcakes and cake slice boxes that are designed to hold one single cake slice from a traditional or tiered style of wedding cake.  Most wedding planners use such boxes because it enables them to prepackage and distribute cupcakes and cake slices much faster to a large amount of guests.  Some brides use the boxes as favors or gifts to their wedding guests.

If you are in search for a box to accommodate the wedding cake itself, make sure you have the correct dimensions before ordering.  Depending on the size and style of the wedding cake, the box may need to be custom ordered.  When shopping for boxes to distribute individual portions of cupcakes or wedding cake, you should definitely look for a company that sells bulk orders so you get the best price possible.  Bakery supply stores are a good place to start because most sell cake and cupcakes boxes wholesale to professional bakeries.

Whichever type of box you may prefer or need, keep in mind that the main purpose of the cake box is the protection and storage of the cake or cake portion within. You can purchase all kinds of boxes for cupcakes, regular cakes or wedding cakes.  You can even find many that are already decorated so all you have to do is fill them up.  Your final decision will likely be based on your budget but even then, use your creativity to make a plain box look like a million bucks.
