Hey,

I know this may be a stupid question but what size cellophane bags would you recommend for a giant cupcake? I usually put them on a 10 inch cake board!

Thanks in advance to any one that answers (if anyone does! lol)

I guess I'd get a basket bag, if I wanted to put the giant cupcake in a bag.  But I'm not sure I'd want to do that anyway . . .

There's an example of what they look like when they come in a bag, a cake maker I know always wraps hers in these.

Thanks for your answer :)

That's an odd request, lol, but I would probably still put it on a drum, and then wrap it like they do a gift basket, using cellophane from a roll, and tying on top with a ribbon. I know Michael's sells a food safe one.

 

I wouldn't want to use an actual bag, since it would be awfully hard to get the cupcake in and out of it without damaging it.

It is really a good idea to use a large cellophane bag for that giant cup cake but make sure that it is transparent and had some printed designs to look cute.

AThat's super cute. I think it would be more cost effective to grab those rolls of cellphone. I would also put them on a drum and in a box-either way it's protected that's what's important! I'd also be afraid I'd make an icing mess on the cellophane. If someone in your area does it like that maybe you should try displaying it a bit differently so your products aren't confused.
