FAQs
Are these boxes suitable for extremely tall cakes?
These are 'tall' cake boxes designed for cakes with taller decorations or toppers. The internal height will depend on the specific model's dimensions, but the lid provides approximately 2 inches of depth, in addition to the base height. Always measure your cake and decorations to ensure they fit.
Do I need glue or tape to assemble these boxes?
No, these boxes are designed for easy assembly using a fold-and-clip mechanism. No additional glue, tape, or tools are required.
Can I buy matching cake boards?
Yes, Simply Making also sells matching cake boards in various sizes and shapes that are designed to fit these boxes precisely.
Are these boxes greaseproof?
The boxes are made of food-grade materials, which are suitable for direct contact with cakes. However, they are not explicitly advertised as greaseproof, so excessive moisture or oily residues might affect the cardboard over time.
How are the boxes shipped?
The boxes are shipped flat-packed in two parts (lid and base) for efficient storage and transport.
Can I write or add stickers to the boxes?
Yes, the plain white exterior is ideal for customization. You can easily add your own branding stickers, labels, or write directly on the boxes.
What is the recommended weight capacity for these boxes?
The product information does not specify a weight capacity. However, they are designed for standard cakes and should be handled with care during transport, especially for very large or heavy cakes.
Troubleshooting
Box lid does not close properly
Ensure the cake and its decorations do not exceed the internal height of the box. Check that the cake board is the correct size and that the box sides are fully clipped together.
Box feels flimsy during assembly
Ensure all the fold-and-clip tabs are securely fastened. Verify that you are using the correct lid and base for the chosen box size.
Cake shifts inside the box during transport
Use a matching Simply Making cake board that fits the box precisely. Consider adding a small amount of double-sided tape between the cake and the board, or between the board and the box base, for extra security.
Slight size variation in received boxes
Measure your cake and decorations carefully before assembly. Account for the potential 0.75" width variation noted in the product description. If exact dimensions are critical, contact customer service to inquire about batch specifications.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides excellent protection for tall cakes and delicate decorations.
- Quick and tool-free assembly saves time during busy events.
- Made from hygienic, food-grade materials.
- Offers a professional and customizable presentation.
- Designed for secure transport when paired with matching boards.
Cons
- Box dimensions may vary slightly up to 0.75 inches wider than stated, requiring users to be aware of potential size discrepancies.
- Matching cake boards are sold separately.
- Lid depth is only approximately 2 inches, which may limit very tall decorations if the cake itself is also very tall.
- While durable, they are still cardboard and may not withstand significant moisture or rough handling.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The boxes ship flat-packed in two pieces: a base and a lid. To assemble, unfold the base and fold up the sides, securing them by clipping the tabs. Similarly, unfold the lid and clip the sides. The lid is designed to slide over the assembled base.
Compatibility: These boxes are designed to fit snugly with Simply Making cake boards of the same width (e.g., a 12" box fits a 12" board). Using a matching board is recommended for optimal stability during transport. Always ensure the box size chosen is appropriate for your cake dimensions, including any decorations.
Care: These boxes are intended for single use transport. Store them in a dry environment to maintain their structural integrity. Avoid exposure to moisture, as this can weaken the cardboard. Clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary, but do not saturate the material.
