Custom Cake Boxes UK
Bakers spend hours on a cake; the box should get it to the table looking perfect. Our custom cake boxes are made from food-grade board, sized to your cakes and printed with your bakery’s branding. We supply bakeries, home bakers, cafés, patisseries and wedding cake makers across the UK, from 50 boxes.
Cake Box Styles
Lid and base cake boxes
A separate lid lifts straight up, so tall or delicately decorated cakes can be placed and removed without damage.
Window cake boxes
A clear window shows off decoration and lets customers check the order without opening the box.
Cupcake and muffin boxes
Boxes with inserts holding 1, 2, 4, 6, 12 or 24 cupcakes upright so frosting stays intact.
Slice, brownie and macaron boxes
Small boxes and sleeves for single portions, brownies, cookies and macarons.
Tall and tiered cake boxes
Extra-height boxes for tiered and celebration cakes, often with a front-opening panel for easy loading.
Food Safety and Freshness
Cake boxes touch food directly, so we use food-grade board and coatings. Greaseproof coatings stop butter and oils from marking the box, and windows use food-safe film. For cream and fresh-fruit cakes, a sturdy base and a snug fit stop the cake sliding during transport. Pair your boxes with cake boards and keep chilled cakes in the fridge until collection.
Sizing Your Cake Box
Measure your cake board, not just the cake, and add at least 2 to 3 cm of height above the tallest decoration. Common sizes are 6, 8, 10 and 12 inch squares, but we make any size, including long boxes for traybakes and slim boxes for single slices.
Branding Your Bakery
A printed cake box is free advertising every time a customer carries it home or posts a photo. Print your logo on the lid, your website and social handles on the side, and a thank-you or reheating note inside. Many bakeries choose kraft board with a one-colour logo for a handmade feel, or white board with full-colour print for a modern look. See kraft boxes and our printing options.
Boxes for Online Cake Delivery
If you post brownies, cookies or letterbox cakes, choose a sturdy corrugated mailer that fits through the letterbox. See custom shipping boxes and our wider food packaging range.
Seasonal and Celebration Cake Boxes
Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and wedding season are the busiest times for bakers. A short run of themed boxes, or a printed sleeve over your standard box, makes seasonal bakes feel special and helps them sell. Wedding cake makers often order a small batch of boxes for slices to give to guests, printed with the couple’s names and date. Gift-ready cupcake boxes with a window and ribbon are popular for corporate orders and hampers.
