Urgent!!! What To Do And Where To Get Cake Boxes Big Enough?
Decorating By mushbug9 Updated 5 Jun 2006 , 11:10am by LittleLinda
I just made a cake for an order tomorrow and the two cake boxes I have aren't long OR tall enough for it. I don't know what to do. Its actually not the first time this has happened either. Is there a place I can get cake boxes any sizes or that are multiple sizes in one box or something? As far as the urgent part, this cake has no box. I have a rubbermaid container inverted over it right now. Its for my daughters preschool teacher so if I have to give it to her this way, she knows I am new to this so I do think she will be understanding, but I can't keep doing this and I wouldn't DREAM of doing it for anyone I didn't really know. Is there anything better I can do for this cake for the morning (I won't have time to go out anywhere so it has to be something around the house). Thanks. 
If you go to your local grocery store, they will let you buy boxes from them. I buy some from Publix (special sizes) and they don't say publix on them, so that's a good thing, and they are pretty good about pricing.
If I have a huge cake, and don't have a box available that fits it, I go to the local grocery and ask a stock dude for a box in the general size I need.
Doesn't matter what kind of box, or what it says. I just wrap the whole box--inside and out--in plain, cream colored packaging paper, after I've cut it to size!
Works great--costs next to nothing--what more could you ask for?
Hope this helps,

Go to the produce department of the grocery store. A mushroom box fits a 12x18 cake perfectly. cover the top with extra wide plastic wrap. The cluster tomato boxes and the strawberry boxes are perfect for the 11x15 cake. These boxes are free for the asking.
