Are there any PHers out there with knowledge of bakery packaging? I'm looking for a wholesaler of cake boxes that hold 6 12 and 24 individual cupcakes. Something with an inner tray to stop them moving about.

Plain boxes with or without windows, not that bothered. Probably mostly without windows.

I've found places that sell them, but not in large enough quantities which makes me think I can get them cheaper elsewhere.

I'm at my wits end with all of this at the moment :|


Thanks smile (and would rather use a PHer where possible)

ETA something like this: http://www.cakeboxesdirect.com/Cupcake-Boxes/24-Cu...

I'd hate to think what a triple-layer choco-deluxe raspberry meringue cake with extra cream and a Flake looks like after three days bouncing off the walls in a Porcelfarce van...

Unfortunately you're oooop north; if you were dahn sahf we could swap links, what with being in the same industry an' all.

You aren't by any chance based in Harrogate?

If you get stuck with packaging, let me know. Used to run my mums bakery and still have all the details on packaging companies.

I'll email you them tomorrow once rooted through my contact book.

The reason I asked if you were in Harrogate was because of someone I contacted today on Match.com also has a cupcake business. Which would have been slightly crazy if you were her.

I don't have a shop in Sheffield (and don't just do cupcakes!) but I'm having one in Swindon once I've found a good location (about Bath should do it hehe) Will be working from home to start with supplying farmers markets, a few cafes but mostly the individual wedding and birthday cakes. I've already got 6 wedding cakes for later in the year so I'm feeling a bit more confident that it'll work out smile

Thanks for having a look for me!

I can only find the supplier for my packaging film reels, which is Thorpe Packaging.

However if you call them they were very helpful when we set up.

You will get better rates negotiating direct with a local packaging supplier where you are moving to.
