  • Why don't you ask your local bakery who their muffin boxes suppliers are explain that you are in need of them for craft related not for baking maybe they will sell you some?

    I already have ages ago. The only cake shop we have is a professional bakers that make birthday/ wedding cakes etc they have tones of suppiles mostly for pros and serious cake makers and they are quite expensive. All their boxes are also too deep really.

    Thanks...I got an order for the sock cupcakes! a friend called and seen it and wanted it in blue for a friend at work who just had a grandson! she said its a token gift and that there is nothing around a fiver to give! I called into the packaging store it was the wrong box that was on offer for a tenner (it was a smaller one and he gave me few samples to play with)but he gave me a sleeve of 160 of the boxes for 14 quid which works out at 9 pence per box so i bought it here is the piccy of finished box the bow needs adjusting.

    I managed to get some white cake boxes from my local bakers but they had no inserts and even with tissue the cakes fell over :( :rotfl:
  • Thanks giggle 7x 7 cm should be big enough to fit the cupcakes and muffins i think. Just going through all the sites working out which is cheaper.
    I did some sock jam the other day as i got a load of socks really cheap. I must post a pic soon when i have done the label.

  • Here is my most recent order, finished it last night. It is a new mum pamper and new baby nappy cake made to order in neutral. I had to knock it together quite quickly but I think it looks ok?!

    These are so cute I am going to have a go making one for my cousin who is due in Nov- just one question though- how do you get the blanket to stay fastened around the nappies?

    Also I have seen cardboard cupcake boxes in hobbycraft - don't know if they will be any good.
