For my boxes, boards and other paper goods I use the local paper company to buy them in bulk saving some money and gas.

I've gotten stuff from our local shops and it's cheaper than online because of shipping. But if you don't have access to many local stores then I've used

cakecenteral.com
Payless cake decor.com
into the oven.com
create a cake shop.com
cakes by sam.com

and I'm sure other people will tell you some more goodies. I'll deff check back to get a couple myself! icon_biggrin.gif

If you have a Hobby Lobby or Michaels near they both carry them.

If you have a Hobby Lobby or Michaels near they both carry the paper cups. that would probably be cheapest. Then I get my boxes from a local restaurant supply place, you may check you phone book and see if you have one locally.

Someone in a thread somewhere on here mentioned B&G paper products--bgpaper.com
They sell almost every paper type product a baker could need except parchment paper and rolls of wax paper.

Oh, I almost forgot Sam's Club. You can order boards, boxes and icing from their bakery by the case. I purchased a case of 1/2 sheet waxed scalloped boards from them for $9.23.

susanscakebabies,

Yes, boxes too! Pretty much every item that Sam's Club bakery has you can order from them but only by the case. Just call the bakery, placed the order then pick up & pay.
