A friend of mine has just started a pie business from home. She likes to make the packaging of her pies a little extra special and wraps nice ribbons around them. She had said she would really like to find recycled brown corrugated boxes, but neither of us can find them anywhere. Brown boxes for cakes or pies just don't seem to be available anywhere! Does anyone know of a place that has these? Everyone uses the white ones and her idea is that since she is offering a homemade product that she would like the packaging to look more ummm I guess rustic would be a good word. If anyone can help me, please let me know!!

Could she use the regular ones and just fold them inside out? The ones I get are white on the outside and brown on the inside . . .

I found these adorable red-checked boxes, but pie size was not listed...it might be worth an e-mail to the company....

This may be one way... Looks like you have to have them made to your specific measurements.. Good Luck!
