I'm looking for ideas on packaging individual 4-in cakes at a fair. I looked into the clear plastic containers, but they are only 3 1/2in across! Cake boxes are either too small or to big. Grr! I want something that will show off the cake. Any ideas? icon_twisted.gif

You can get 6" window bakery boxes boxes. Also, you could consider the deli clamshell boxes.

I made 4" cakes for a bake sale and boxed them in these 5"x5"x5" box that I purchased at Michael's Arts and Crafts The boxes are in the same section as the other cake boxes and come in a package of either four or five.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I think I am going to place an order with them!

Michelle04, I tried Michaels, but they have been out! The Michaels out here is one of the only places with in an hour drive that we can find stuff in so I guess with all the weddings and graduations, they havent been keeping up with the demands! Thankd for the suggestion though!

Do you want clear or white boxes? I googled 5"x5" bakery boxes and came up with this in white boxes:
