Cupcake Gift Boxes You'll Love!

Cupcake Boxes are a fantastic finishing touch to make your cupcakes extra special. Whether you are making your cupcakes as a gift, sending cupcakes to school for a child's birthday or if you just want to show off your cupcakes, a cupcake box will set off your creations perfectly.

This page grew from my own hunt to find the perfect cupcake boxes for the cupcakes I had been creating. I have spent literally hours scouring the internet to find the perfect cupcake boxes for every occasion.

As well as disposable cupcake boxes I have also put together a collection of reusable Cupcake carriers. These are the absolute best way to transport cupcakes ensuring that they arrive just as perfect as when they left your home!

More about 'Cupcake Boxes '

The first choice when selecting cupcake boxes is how many cupcakes you want in each box. Individual cupcake boxes are great for taking home cupcakes at the end of a child's (or adults) party, for baby showers and even for take home wedding cupcakes.

Individual cupcake boxes come in a variety of shapes and sizes. One thing that my own children love is to be given individual plain cupcake boxes and sheets of stickers and allowed to create their own take home birthday cupcake boxes.

Christmas Cupcakes

A little white, red or green icing, a few sprinkles, perhaps a holly leaf and some berries and you have the perfect Christmas treat.

To top it all off why not package it up in a festive Christmas Cupcake Box? This makes a perfect Christmas treat for co-workers or for a child's teacher or soccer coach.

Easter Cupcakes

Easter cupcake boxes photo courtesy of Katiescrapbooklady on flickrCupcakes are a perfect treat for Easter and make a great gift for classmates or for an Easter picnic. There are endless variations: green grass, Easter bunnies, small eggs- the great thing about these is that you can make them as simple or elaborate as you like.

One popular option is to turn the cupcake into an Easter basket as pictured here. You can do this with any form of long sweet or licorice, and then top the cupcake with your choice of Easter topping.

These look great on a cupcake stand sprinkled with green sprinkles to represent grass..

The BEST buttercream icing/frosting recipe EVER

Buttercream icing photo by meledwardsphots on FlickrThis recipe gives thick, fluffy buttercream icing that looks fantastic on cupcakes and gives them a really professional look. It is great for piping out of an icing bag. I adapted it from a recipe from Wilton. Their recipe used a lot of vegetable shortening, which I substituted for butter because I preferred the taste and texture.

Ingredients:
One cup of butter or butter like margarine
One teaspoon of vanilla extract (if you want perfectly white icing you should use clear vanilla extract- I never bother and just use the regular one)
4 cups of confectioners (icing) sugar, seived/sifted
2 tablespoons of milk.

Method:

You need an electric hand mixer to make this recipe.

Firstly put the butter into a bowl and cream it with your electric mixer. This takes a little time but you need it to be really soft and fluffy. The lightness of the icing comes from this stage. Once you are happy that the butter is fully creamed add the vanilla extract and give another good mix.

Then add the sugar, slowly one cup at a time. After adding each cup you should thouroughly mix it using the electric mixer until all of the sugar is mixed into the butter. Add the sugar slowly, bit by bit so that it doesn't go everywhere when you put the mixer into the bowl!

When you have added all of the sugar check that it is fully mixed in. The mixture will feel very hard and dry at this point- don't panic because once you add the milk it will be perfect!

Add the milk, one spoon at a time and mix again with the electric mixer. Keep beating the mixture until it is really light and fluffy.

You then have perfect icing!

This makes quite a bit of icing, but don't panic because you can store it in the refrigerator for two weeks. Just put it into an airtight container to store. When you get it out it can feel a little hard at first so put it into a bowl and whip stored icing again before using. If necessary you can add a little more milk to bring back a softer texture.

Perfect frosting!

Cupcake Carriers

If you love to bake cupcakes, or if you have school or nursery age children then a Cupcake Carrier
may be about to transform the way you view cupcakes. Those days of frantically holding Tupperware boxes on your lap or car seat so as not to damage the frosting are over! Designed specifically for carrying cupcakes, cupcake carriers have individual cupcake slots that keep your cupcakes in one place.

With a huge number of cupcake carriers to choose from I have selected the ones that I think offer the best value and that work the best. When choosing it is worth calculating how many cupcakes you will need to carry. My first cupcake holder held only 20 cupcakes, which was fine until my daughter entered a school class with 27 children. Suddenly I needed a bigger cupcake carrier.

Some of the best designs allow you to use one, two or three layers to carry all of your cupcakes. This means that if you need to carry a few you don't have to cart around an enormous carrier. Similarly, some have inserts and sections that flip so that you can carry brownies, biscuits or other treats on a different layer.

    Original, I didn't know there was specially made boxes for these. When I bake cookies or cupcakes, I usually put them in tin boxes (recycled chocolate boxes and such).
