How do you guys store you cake boxes? I have shelves but they are to short and the boxes hang over the end. So I was trying to think of another way to store them. I thought of a paper cart but they are $600. So since that is out of the question I though of asking you guys.
Thanks!
Jen...
I second this request! I have tons still sitting in the boxes they came in just leaning against the wall. I don't know what else to do with them. Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks! 
Well, my way may not be the best, but it works for me until something better comes along.
I have all my boxes, ranging in size from 2# candy up to 14x20 in a giant 50 gallon plastic storage container. There's a block of styrofoam in the back and my oversized cooling racks in the front to prevent the boxes from sliding down.
Whenever I get new boxes, I always write the size on the bottom in black marker before storing them. That way, I can just flip through - like a file cabinet - until I find the size I need.
I have plastic shelves set up. All my cake boxes and cake boards fit on the shelves. Except for my half sheet boxes, I don't have any problems. My shelves are 36" wide by 24" deep and I keep them in my garage. I take my boxes out of the box they come in so it is easier to access them.
I'm glad this question came up! I have my boxes in big plastic bags leaning against the wall in my cake supply/guest room closet and just not happy with that. But I haven't room for a huge tub in there. Will have to do some figuring and find something better. It's just my few big ones, I have the smaller ones in a drawer.
Thanks for asking this!
we made a check out counter in the front.....it is open in the back....and we made a big shelf on the bottom of the inside that holds them all....it is really handy
I also have this problem. I currently store them on wire rack shelves, but the larger ones hang over and to get to the other sizes is tough. I am not that strong! it is a chore to get ONE full size cake box that is under the 14's and 12's and 10's!
I think I am going to build in my attic (so it won't be movable) where I get 2x4's and make a frame. Slap a piece of plywood (nail). Then make a 3 sided frame of 2x4's that are sitting on their side so I get the max height out of it and slap plywood on that. repeat.... I'll make a flap for the front out of fabric or something.....
I would love a better idea though!
I am not sure if it would work with all the individual needs I am reading....but the only thing I can think of would be a box that is used to ship print/art work that would be narrow and long for the boxes to be store flat. This box could fit in the bottom the a closet, in between your washer/dryer, etc. it is tall and narrow. You can probably find them at a shipping store.....just a thought!!!

well, a garbage bag would work just as well. The problem is the number of boxes that you want easy access to. I have 4x4, 7x7, 10x10, 12x12, 14x14, 16x16, quarter, half and full sheet....
