Need between 10 and 20 cake boxes for a cake stall - large enough for 8' or 9' cakes. Anyone know of a cheap supplier please? Daisy |

Do you have a friendly bakers that might sell them to you on the cheap (or even donate them)? |

Daisy, Ask Fitzbilly's if they would let you buy some of theirs - or any local bakery. I'm someone in a smaller shop would sell you a few, but probably not a supermarket. That's why I keep boxes from hairdryers, etc!!! LOL CB >|< |

Do you have a shop that sells cake tins, cake decerations, icing, marsipan etc... Locally? They often sell cake boxes. If not try googleing cake boxes and you should find something. |

Just occurred to me - Wendy would know. She's out today, but if she rings me, I'll ask her to let you know later on, Daisy. CB >|< |

There are a couple of specialist shops in MK that do cake decorations etc, and I know they do these (went in there a while back looking for a bits and bobs for a party (they also do balloons etc). Maybe there's somewhere similar near you ? Alternatively have you tried the larger supermarkets ? They generally have a bakery in store and I sure you could charm them into giving you a few boxes. |

Thanks guys. Would obviously rather get them free so these suggestions very helpful. Paul - I scrounged several off Waitrose a couple of months ago and am already asking them for help with something else so don't want to push my luck, even if I do spend half our money in there! Think I'll try Sainsbury's and Tescos though and the suggestions of smaller bakeries is a good idea too. Daisy |

Hi I make cakes for fundraising. I get my boxes over the internet from Almond Art (think it's a (,) co (.) uk. All their supplies are really reasonable and there isn't a mimimum order. Alternatively, if you live near any cake decorating shops you could try there, or chat up your local baker! GP |
