AC Moore and Michael's only have a few standard sizes. I have my first order this weekend and it is a 12" round 4 " high and I can't find a box icon_cry.gif Even a local supermarket said they don't make cakes that big. I guess I shouldn't have waited so long but I didnt' think it would be a problem. Where do you get yours from, do I still have time??? What if I can't find a big enough box icon_cry.gif

I buy mine through a mom & pop cake decorating store - check your phone book and see if there happen to be any in your area. The other thing you might try is moving supply company or food service supplier. I know some people order on line through papermart but my local place is just as competitive in price and I don't have to purchase huge volumes. Good luck!

If there is a Sam's Club in your area you will find a large assortment of boxes sold individually and by the case.

I buy my boxes at papermart and restockit but you have to buy in volumes of 50 or 100. I have in the past used a new brown shipping box to accomodate a large cake. Works great!

I have a Costco near me. They sell boxes in bulk or do you mean to ask the bakery section if I can buy one?

Great idea on the moving/packing boxes too. It won't look fancy but sure serves the purpose!

I just realized too that I am taking Toba's cookie class in NYC on Thursday so I am looking into cake supply places there too icon_biggrin.gif

Thanks everyone thumbs_up.gif

I buy mine from a local bakery that sells supplies and boxes. I've also heard that Sam's will sell them. You might also try a party supply store. We have a couple in our city that sells them.

I order my from Country Kitchen, but you will never get it in time. I would suggest a local bakery.

I found a local paper company about 10 miles from my home. I can get 100 10x10 boxes for $30. That is the best price I have found.
For other boxes I go to the local cake supply and buy 10 at a time.
