The most commonly available is the standard square white box with a lift off lid - these come in every size from 8" to 20". Bought flat packed, and made from thin card, it is inexpensive, and protects your cake hygienically during transportation, ensuring it arrives safely. Also available to use with this type of box are extension corners which will raise the lid up for the slightly taller, oversize cakes.
If your cake has an intricate or fragile design, or has to be transported a long way, then an extra strong box with lift off lid would solve the problem of making sure it has maximum protection, and minimise any damage in transit.
A very popular cake at present is the stacked wedding cake, which requires a taller, stronger box if being transported. Made especially for this purpose it has round and square cut out pieces in the base to prevent the bottom tier from moving inside the box, while a strengthened base allows for the increased weight.
Cupcakes have taken the world by storm in recent years, and continue to dominate, so it is only right that there should have evolved a huge range of cupcake boxes and carriers to choose from. The cupcake box comes with an insert to hold the cupcakes and a window to show off your creations. These are available in single or multi sizes and you can often match the design of the box to that of the baking cases and even complete the effect by finishing off with a matching ribbon.
Cupcake couriers are large, plastic, multi tray carriers, which can be adapted to carry a small number or many. These are ideal for transporting up to 36 cupcakes, say to a children's party. The cupcakes are kept separate from each other and arrive safely being well protected inside the plastic outer casing. These carriers come in different colours as well! With the interior trays removed a larger cake can also be transported. This makes them very popular because of their flexibility.
Cupcake Pods are exactly what they sound like, individual plastic pods for single cupcakes or muffins. Sold in packs of 10, they are ideal for gift cupcakes or even as wedding favours, something completely different.
As can be seen there are numerous different products available now to ensure that your 'precious' cake, whatever occasion it may be for, arrives at its destination safely and in one piece. By using the right packaging this is usually achieved, and once there, much appreciated by the recipient, and ensures it will have the 'Wow' factor!
