2626.0. "Cake boxes?" by TLE::EIKENBERRY (A goal is a dream with a deadline) Fri Sep 21 1990 10:41

  I am going to be making decorative cakes for some of my co-workers (at cost,
not for profit), so I would like to get some cake boxes to put the cakes in
for transportation.  Does anyone know where these boxes can be purchases?  My
backup plan is to buy some from a local bakery....

  Thanks!

2626.1Places to get boxes in Nashua.SQM::MADDENFri Sep 21 1990 11:2613
    
    In the Nashua area you can buy boxes from Party Time over on West
    Hollis St. or from Rachel's cake decorating shop on Kinsley St.
    
    Rachel's rates are usually much more reasonable.
    
    Both places also sell cardboard cake bases, and other cake decorating
    supplies.
    
    You can also get boxes and cardboard bases at wholesale prices from 
    Nashua Tobacco and a few other places, but the minimum quantity is 
    something like 200 - 500.
    
2626.2in Arlington, MACURIE::LATVALLAFri Sep 21 1990 12:0012
    In Arlington on Mass. Ave. (on the right as you head west on Mass.
    Ave.) there is a store called Paper and More (it is a typical
    party/paper supply store).  Attached to this store is a warehouse (I
    can't remember the name, but it seems to be associated with Paper and
    More) that has all sorts of good stuff (at Discount Prices!!)
    including: cake boxes, aluminum pans, paper plates and cups (styrofoam,
    colored, paper, etc.), plastic glasses, restaurant supplies (large
    containes of pickles, ketchup, etc., condiment dispensers, etc.). I
    could go on and on.  A great place to go if you are going to be
    throwing a party for cheap (and in some instances bulk) supplies.

2626.3In Marlboro.. or NatickUSMFG::KMONAGHANMon Oct 01 1990 17:029
    You could try Paperama  in Natick. They carry all kinds of cake
    and candy making supplies.
    
    Also, there is a place in Marlboro called the Party Place and they
    also carry all types of cake and candy packaging materials.
    
    Good luck.

2626.5found 'em!TLE::EIKENBERRYA goal is a dream with a deadlineTue Oct 02 1990 18:017
      Thanks for the suggestions...I went to Party Time in Nashua, and was
    thrilled to discover that they had a pretty complete selection of 
    Wilton's cake decorating supplies!  And, of course, I had to pick up
    a copy of the Wilton 1991 Cake Decorating yearbook while I was there!

    you may laugh at this but when i make cakes for friends as gifts,
    I put them in decorative hat boxes. after the cake is done, they have
    a nice box to store things in....

2626.8Recycle tins...CCAD23::TANMy Teleport is Faulty!Wed May 26 1993 17:4710
Ovaltine or Milo tins are great for decorating.  (After you've used the
contents that is!)  I cover the sides and the top of the lid with pastel
fabric and tie a big bow around the base of the tin.  You can also insert
a small posy of flowers into the bow.  

They're suitable for storing small cup-cakes and cookies.

regards,

joyce

    Our Basement has a very large box of baby formula cans that I plan

    cookies....
