wrap an iced cupcake to sell? I have some that a manager wants to try but I don't know how to wrap them, so they still look nice. I can wrap with saran wrap but it doesn't look good. I could buy poly bags for them to fit into, but I need something else to make do until I can order the poly bags.
are you looking to do them individually?? If so.......why not a chinese take out container you can get them at party supply and craft stores in just about every color of the rainbow you could put some matching tissue paper in the bottom and it would keep the cupcake covered though not air tight! You could decorate them with stamp or stickers or anything!! Or if you could find little candy boxes that would fit a cupcake that would be cute too. But I think the little chinese take out containers would fit one cupcake just perfectly!! You wouldn't be able to see the cupcake though until you open it
I wrapped some small decorated cakes as gifts once, kind of like wrapping a gift basket - it may work for you too. Cut a circle of cardboard out, larger in diameter than the cupcake, then set on a square of clear plastic - plastic wrap or the clear plastic you use for gift baskets would be even better. Bring up the sides of the plastic and tie with ribbon above the cupcake. It should minimize the contact with the frosting and you can control your costs a little.
Good luck!
I've got it........here are little boxes and they're clear.........you could definitely sell a cupcake in it for about a dollar.......they come out to about less than .30 cents each depending on what size you choose!

If you are only giving one cupcake out at a time you could wrap it with cello wrap and tie with a bow. If you are giving out mulitple cupcakes I would purchase one of the small cake boxes from JoAnnes or Michaels and place them in that.

You can wrap them in cellophane bags, but you would have to icing the c-cakes 2 or 3 days before you can put in bags and the icing would not stick to the bags. I did a baby shower using the mini c-cakes and they turned out great. I also put the bags in a box that I bought at the dollars store. I bought 12 pk of boxes for $1.00 Great Buy and they came out great.
...............Happy baking!!!!!!!!!!
