Where can I buy cardboard box for my homemade birthday cake?

[HawtLeak]

Okay in Toronto, I could get those from Bulk Barn..

but in Montreal, where are they? My bf tried buying it from a regular cake store at chinatown, but they wouldnt sell it for like $1 or something.. so he had to argue with them until they finally gave it to him...

Is there a specific store where I can buy those cake boxes? I love to make birthday sized cake for fun and give it out but I can't cos I don't have the box.

Or, use an inverted salad spinner atop a dish, and voilà, cake box (well depends on your cake's dimensions, I suppose) :-)

I am not sure if you mean sheet cakes by birthday cakes, but if you;re talking about regular sized cakes in 8 and 9 inch round pans, i tend to make lots of those for gifts. I usually buy antique plates and nice looking serving dishes from second hand stores (salvation army type places) and tell the people to keep the dish. Usually costs the same as a cardboard box but looks nicer. You should see the cake stand i recently got for 3 dollars. That does not work as well if you transport the cake by public transportation unless you have a good cake carrier and you plate on arrival.

Most cake supply stores would carry them. Since you are looking for only 1 box, i would call before going to make sure they have the dimentions you need. .

Try Ares kitchen supply store - there is one on the West Island, one in Centre Laval, and maybe one on the South Shore. I saw some white cake boxes (stored flat) a couple of months ago (Laval location) - there were many different sizes. There are also some great re-usable plastic (black) containers that caterers often use - not sure if there is a size for cakes, but I found one perfect for cupcakes.

If they carry them at all Bulk Barns, then go check out the Bulk Barn in Marche de L'Ouest in the West Island.

Definitely at Ares...all sizes on both boxes & boards. I buy them there all the time!
