I have recently been asked to provide two cakes a week for a local caffe' and was wondering how I should deliver the cakes. I have cake boxes but I really want some of the black base/clear top cake holders like they use at Wal-Mart or Sams. Does anyone know where I can purchase these and about how much they are?
Thanks!

My local cake supply carries them - as does the Party City near me. I've not bought them, so I can't help you with pricing.

I am in houstonm and the walmart here carries those, you may want to ask someone in the bakery in walmart, they will point you to them.
Thanks!

Have you tried a GFS (Gordon Food Service). I have seen them there. Not sure on how much they cost. Or even a Party store possibly.

JoyDawn:

Since you are a private operation I would continue to use the personal touch of cakes boxes. The black bottom clear top containers are very commercial.

I would try to keep it as orginal and personable as possible. Would even try to incorporate my business name onto the boxes.

Just my thoughts.

You can purchase the containers from the bakery at Walmart or even your local grcoery store. I have done this for their muffin containers. Although I agree with Ladivacrj about the way the look so commercial. But whatever you like you should do.

I agree with Ladiva. I remember getting a cake from a small bakery 10 years ago and what impressed me was the cake was put in a box, tied with a ribbon and she even put some inexpensive fresh buds on top. Just one or two.
