Can anyone tell me where they order there boards and boxes in bulk, I have gotten them country kitchen, but they are smaller than the ones I can get at the local cake supply store. The owner has'nt been to forthcoming in tell me her supplier, (shes in business, why would she). Her !/2 sheet boards are 14 by 191/2 which is nice as it leaves room on the board for borders and such on side of cake.

Try looking at places that specialize in packaging, like uline.com . I know they carry a limited supply of cake boards and boxes, and are probably a little cheaper.
I actually just bought cake boxes and boards at my local sams club. I got 25 boxes for like $23 and 50 boards for $25. I'm not exactly sure the size..but I know they fit TWO 11x15s perfectly(full sheet) and they have half sheets and quarter sheets too. I hope this helps![]()
I got some from ULINE (www.uline.com). They sell the following:

along w/ that great question, does anyone have any tricks to carrying a 3-D cake in a reg. box? i'm doing my first cake (fingers crossed) and stupid me just assumed that the craft stores would have boxes to fit and my luck-no way
. it's not that tall, but def. won't fit in any of the reg. size boxes. as you can see, i need all the help i can get! ![]()

Do you have a UPS store near you? They sell all shapes of boxes that you could use. They are strong also.
If you use a box that isn't specifically for food handling/storage, I'd suggest covering the inside with plastic wrap or something. Never know where the box has been, who's stepped on it, what's crawlled in it, etc. Might just be a precaution I take. If I can manage to use a regular cake box but with the lid propped open, I just saran wrap the open part for dust, fur, etc.
If anyone would like to do a box/board swap, let me know!! I have a bulk box of 12" round cake circles and 12" cake boxes. I could use some 1/2 sheet boards and boxes!!
I forgot to add I used restockit.com when I purchased the circles and boxes.
Okay...I'm going to post the most garded secret I have. It's taken me 1 1/2 years to find this place. The downfall to some of you might be you have to be a verifiable business to order. These are TRUE wholesale prices and less than half the cost as what I have seen posted.

It took me a week to set up an account with them but OMG...it was so worth it!
Hope this helps someone!
If you live near the west coast www.papermart.com has great prices also!!
