Cake Boxes, Cake Packaging and Bakery Supplies

We sell a range of cake packaging, perfect for birthday cakes, wedding cake, and treat boxes. Our white cake boxes come in a range of different sizes to suit small or large cakes or cupcakes are environmentally friendly as they are recyclable and made in the UK and available for next day delivery.

Our most popular sized cake box is the 6 hole cupcake box, and all sizes come with windowed cupcake boxes, which are ideal for displaying the beautifully adorned cupcakes. They arrive flat and pop up into the shape of the box, with the insert sliding in easily. Our consumers adore the overall quality of these cupcake boxes because the card is thick. We recently received some feedback from customers regarding the inserts which were sold as a pack alongside the cupcake boxes, most found that they weren’t using the cupcake inserts when using the cake boxes as afternoon tea or ploughman’s takeaway lunches. So we listened, and removed the inserts from the packs which we now sell separately, giving you the choice of whether to purchase the inserts. Our cupcake boxes also come in a range of different pack sizes, depending on your outgoing baked goods.

Customers have recently began selling these boxes as cupcake bouquet boxes. End-users have been buying delectable cupcakes as bouquet boxes instead of buying a bouquet of flowers for a loved one or acquaintance. A nice alternative to half a dozen 6 or 12 roses in a floral arrangement is 6 or 12 cupcakes in a flower arrangement. Allow your cake-decorating creativity to go wild. Always strive for a volume of 4, 6, or 12 cupcakes rather than individual cupcake boxes to achieve the most return on your cake sales. Don't think the variety ends with cupcakes; these boxes may also be used as muffin boxes, mince pies, with or without inserts.

What is the purpose of cake boxes?

Cake boxes are a great tool for any catering food business looking to keep their baked goods fresh and safe from potential contaminations and makes them easierto transport from the business to customer. Our cake boxes are made in the United Kingdom making them carbon friendy and are commercially recyclable, meaning that you will be able to recycle these boxes at recycling plants across the United Kingdom. Our standard cupcake boxes is approximately 242x165x75mm making them the perfect size whilst still leaving room if you wanted to add the insert to the box.

How to fold cake boxes easily

Cake boxes are really easy to assemble using ready made flaps and inserts. Our cake boxes come flat packed which is great for those who’s space is limited. When you take the cake box out of it’s outer packaging, apply a little pressure and the cake box shape will start to form. The sides contain slits and flaps which come together to secure the sides of the cake boxes. The cake box lid is attached to the bottom and will fall nicely over the bottom of the cake box.

How to make the perfect Victoria Sponge Cake recipe

Ingredients

160g Self Raising Flour

160g Caster Sugar

160g Butter

3 Eggs

1 tsp Vanilla Essence

Method

1. Sift the self raising flour.

2. Combine the caster sugar and butter and beat together until fluffy and light.

3. Slowly start to add the eggs one at a time (if the mixture starts to curdle, just add a tablespoon of flour).

4. Start to fold in the flour until the mixture comes together.

5. Share the mixture between two tins and place in a preheated oven at 180c for 18-20minutes.

   To check whether the sponge is baked, place a skewer in the centre, if it comes out clean, it’s done. If not, stick the sponge back in the oven for another 5 minutes and repeat the process.

6. Leave to cool on a rack

7. Sandwich the cakes together with whipped double cream and jam, or whatever takes your fancy.
