Where Do You Purchase Your Boards And Boxes?
Decorating By Jean1 Updated 31 May 2009 , 7:46am by Rylan
I get mine at Sam's Club. I'll never forget the look on my husband's face when I said "I'll meet you at the checkout, I want to get some cake boxes" and he saw me pulling a palette full of boxes and boards up to the cash register.
Do you get that at the Sams Bakery? Or is that in one if the aisles?
I go to a local shipping store called "The Box Store". Fitting, I guess. The boxes are super thick and wonderful, plus they have every size that I've ever needed. Try checking a local shipping store because they may have some. I called this place on a fluke one day and have been thankful ever since.
I had to ask at the Bakery at Sam's club and they gave me a price sheet and I just went from there. I thought they were just as thick as the ones I was getting at Michaell's. I can post the price list if anyone wants it?
Yes please!!
I also asked them about the inserts and boxes that held 30 cupcakes and got different answers from two different stores. One gave me a flat "no" we don't sell them, and the second took 15 minutes to scroll through some pricing thing on the scale and didn't give it to me when it printed out....
Thanks for the info!
Jean1...check out BRP Big River Packaging. I've been buying plastic cupcake boxes from them. They have a big list of boxes and items - I think cake boards too. They are great because you can order small quantities - nice for a hobby baker like me!

I haven't tried asking for hi ratio shortening, but when the bakery clerk was getting my order for boxes, I asked if she sold their icing and other things and she said "Oh yes, we sell everything." Since I was only interested in the boxes though, I didn't ask about anything else.
Here is the pricing information they gave me:
25 Full sheet boxes (no window) $23.86
50 Full pads $23.66
50 1/2 sheet pads $9.33
50 1/2 sheet window lids $17.48
50 1/2 sheet boxes $16.36
Cupcake inserts - $14.00 (Fit inside 1/2 sheet boxes)
(100) 10 inch Dome & lid sets $41.06
(250) 12 inch circles $26.31
Buttercream "tub" (I have no idea how much) $26.00
Whipped Icing "tub" $16.00
Although the prices for the full sheet boxes say "no window," the box they gave me at that price DOES include the window. They are all one piece with a window on top.
Amymnn, Oh yes I would love to know how much. Btw, have you also tried asking for hi ratio shortening?
I asked at both Sam's in our area, BJ's, and every grocery store chain bakery for high ratio shortening but no luck. All said they don't mix their own frosting, they get it pre-mixed in buckets.
Kitagirl, do you think Sysco will sell to non-businesses?
Thanks
