question about cake boxes

mssweetie24 · #1 (**permalink**) December10th, 2007

I was wondering if the store is going to get any cake boxes that are sizes 10 x 10 x6" and the 12x12x 6" anytime soon or if any at all? I have been looking into trying to order some but the sites I had look into have a high shipping cost plus additional handling charges that are $12 for the handling. By the time a person places an order the shipping and handling is almost as much as the boxes. If I knew the store was going to be stocking with the boxes I would much rather order from into the oven then going somewhere else.

I ran into that same problem. I think I probably spent a couple of months searching the internet for good shipping rates on boxes. Every once in a while there would be a place that would offer free shipping, but I'd have to spend a ton of $ to get it. I finally decided that I just wouldn't do boxes. I would have to charge more per cake, and it just wasn't worth the trouble. Most people that order from me don't even notice. If I'm doing a sheet cake I will occasionally get a box from Hobby Lobby, but really it isn't that often.

We currently have the following cake box sizes in the warehouse:

12 x 12 x 6
14 x 14 x 6
16 x 16 x 6
19 x 14 x 4.5

We just haven't had time to break them into smaller bundles, we did a large bulk order for a customer and I ordered some extras to break down and sell in smaller quantities.

Let me know what sizes exactly you would be interested in and I will try and get those posted first in the next week or so.

Ask and you shall receive!
