What is it with (rant sorry)      CakeCentral.com Forum Index » General Author Message mommicakes Forum Fanatic Joined: Feb 07, 2007 Posts: 1306 Birthday: Jun 08 Posted: Sat Nov 07, 2009 7:00 pm  stupid wilton boxes anyway???? I am so ticked I can't see straight. I bought the wilton sheet cake box at walmart yesterday to use for a delivery tomorrow, put the cakes on the board, tried to slide the board into the box, and the stupid sides are bowing out and not fitting the boards inside properly!!! WTH, don't these people know that they sell the boards and the boxes, and their sizes are not compatible?????? Sorry for the rant, now I'm off to find a box big enough to deliver in the morning. Oh yeah,to add to the issue, they are only tall enough for a single layer sheet cake. That just sucks!!! I'll go have an adult beverage and figure it all out after. Thanks for listening.

Have that drink and enjoy lady... sounds like you've earned it!

In Canada, we have a store called Bulk Barn and they sell them individually (much cheaper, too). Never had a problem with the board not fitting the box at all ... AND the boxes are very tall!

Me too! 6" high and perfect box to board fit. Love Bulk Barn for the small orders!! mommicakes Forum Fanatic Joined: Feb 07, 2007 Posts: 1306 Birthday: Jun 08 Posted: Sat Nov 07, 2009 7:34 pm  Thanks Melvira, it has been one heck of a weekend already, and it isn't over yet. I had a 90th celtic bday 3 tier cake this am, a quick bday cake for my nephew at noon, my son's 14th bday today for after dinner, baby shower for tomorrow am, and another bday for a client 40 min away tomorrow afternoon. I have had one toddie already, and am working on the second. (DH made it for me). Details By Dawn & Cutie Pie Cakes-Ontario: I am so close to jumping the border (only 2 hrs from here). Thanks for the words of encouragement ladies. ksmith1012 Junior Member Joined: Sep 05, 2009 Posts: 68 Location: Columbus, OH Posted: Sat Nov 07, 2009 8:02 pm  I had the same problem! I dont get it either. DetailsByDawn Junior Member Joined: Sep 02, 2009 Posts: 65 Location: Newmarket, Ontario, CANADA Posted: Sat Nov 07, 2009 8:05 pm  www.brpboxshop.com - Every box under the sun! (by the case - 100 per case) and great boards. Great prices, and based in the US, so no customs. You'll never have that prob again.

Are you using the plain regular cardboards, or the fancy dancy ones that look like they have a doily imprinted on it and the scalloped edgings? I stopped using the scalloped edges years ago because they just dont' fit any standard boxes. mommicakes Forum Fanatic Joined: Feb 07, 2007 Posts: 1306 Birthday: Jun 08 Posted: Sun Nov 08, 2009 5:55 am  indydebi wrote: First, the wilton boxes are so thin, I doubt they could hold cotton candy without collapsing under the weight.

I stopped using the scalloped edges years ago because they just dont' fit any standard boxes. I totally agree with the flimsy weight of them. I use the regular rectangle boards, I tried using the waxed ones and found that they didn't fit, (and had a fit myself)! This stupid issue kept me up most of the night. DH & I remanufactured the box this morning. We pulled apart a 10 X 14 box and taped the two of them together to make one large enough and safe enough for transport of this cake. What is wrong with wilton????? These guys have no clue. They aren't tall enough either. I am now in search of a decent box supplier. There is this company that sells 2pc boxes that are heavy and nice, but a little on the pricey side, but I am thinking that may be the only way to go to feel good about delivering product to a client. Okay off of my rant now. Thanks everyone. tootie0809 Frequent Member Joined: May 06, 2008 Posts: 424 Posted: Sun Nov 08, 2009 6:09 am  Not only are they flimsy, and maybe I'm just dumb here, but I can never easily figure how to put the darn things together and they don't come with even the most basic assembly instructions. Again, maybe I'm just dumb and it's a no-brainer how to put them together, but I struggle and get frustrated every single time I buy a set of boxes and end up spending way too much time trying to figure out which flap goes where and how they come together. A simple instruction sheet would be helpful. And don't even get me started on the Wilton gel color jars and why they continue to put them in the jars they do........
