Good evening to all- during this time of the year we are all very busy, busy, and even more busy. I am going to put up some of my fliers on tommorrow after school. At my afterschool job(which is very popular) and at the grocery store. I am ready to take some holiday cake orders for some extra holiday cash. I also wanted to know where I could buy some boxes for my cakes I have been using clothes gift boxes but that does not look very professional. So if anyone has any ideas or things that they think I should know before I start that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and Blessings be to all.

As far as the boxes are you here in the USA or elsewhere?
You might want to be careful about putting flyers in a food store...they might not like you advertising cake for sale especially since they sell cake mix and icings themselves and they might call the local board of health to your house or the local inspector might see the flyers himself and shut you down. Flyers somewhere else would be a great idea.

thanks i am in sc, but where do you buy your boxes from?

One place you can buy them at is: www.papermart.com

Hi,

There are several sources online:

www.countrykitchensa.com
www.instawares.com
www.restockit.com
www.papermart.com

If you only need a few, check out Hobby Lobby, Michaels or whatever crafting or cake store you have nearby.

HTH,
Berta

You can also purchase cake boxes with or without windows at Hobby Lobby or Micheals.

I too use papermart but also check out Ebay. I've gotten some great deals there as well.

The boxes at Michaels are very flimsy..as well as the Wilton bake boards (I have to double them up) Do these places have higher quality boxes and boards?

Thanks!

loriemoms,
If you go to Raleigh, check out If Its Paper on Hillsborough Street. That where I used to get most of my boxes and boards. Family-owned, really nice people and lots of good supplies for us.
