Have you got a cake making shop near you? They'd probably have the big cardboard ones for sale. Amazon have them in various sizes.

If you have a Works near you I got mine from there.

Most supermarkets sell cake boxes. As you're making a giant cupcake, you'll need to make the height taller. Get some card, and add extra height to the sides of the bottom box. Cut the card to the size of the sides of the box, and staple them in place. My friend who has a cake business does this when she makes tall cakes.

If you have a cake decorating shop near you you will be able to get the right size box from there.
