The choice of size depends on the shape and height of your creation. Round cake boxes are perfect for entremets, genoise, and classic tarts from 18 to 32 cm. Square and rectangular boxes are suitable for layer cakes, tall design cakes, and custom tiered cakes. For wedding cakes and tiered creations, opt for reinforced models with integrated cake drum, capable of supporting several kilos without deforming. Tall boxes (up to 30 cm high) are essential for modern cake design and decorated number cakes. Finally, for individual pastries — cupcakes, muffins, macarons, éclairs — compartmentalized cupcake boxes and specific macaron boxes offer perfect support.

Size tip: always add 2 to 3 cm to your cake’s dimensions to make boxing easier without damaging the decorations.

Kraft cardboard remains the reference choice: sturdy, recyclable, economical, and ideal for direct food contact. Its natural shade matches a rustic-chic presentation or artisanal branding. White cardboard offers a cleaner, more modern look, particularly suited for customizable cake boxes that you can personalize with stamps, stickers, or ribbons. Transparent cake boxes (made of food-grade PET) are perfect for presentations that highlight the visual: wedding boxes, baby showers, sweet tables, events where the pastry becomes the centerpiece. Finally, rigid plastic boxes provide superior sealing for long transports or pastries sensitive to condensation. All these materials are available at Patissland in various sizes and certified for food contact.

For pastry shops, tea rooms, and event caterers, we offer bulk cake box sets at discounted prices. Specific models for wedding cake transport are reinforced, with integrated handles and stiffened bases to support the heaviest pieces. Our cake transport boxes include models with removable trays that make extraction easier without damaging the decoration — a must for wedding cakes and haute couture cake design creations. For everyday use, individual pastry boxes for 1 or 2 portions allow single sales with a professional look. Also consider colorful oriental boxes for traditional pastries (Moroccan wedding cakes, Eid celebrations) — a segment where the box is an integral part of the product experience.

How to choose the right cake box size?
Measure the exact dimensions of your cake (diameter or length × width, and height), then add 2 to 3 cm to each dimension. This margin prevents contact between the cake edges and the box walls, preserving side decorations and making unmolding easier upon arrival.

Are cardboard boxes really suitable for food contact?
Yes, provided they are certified (mandatory mention "suitable for food contact"). All our cardboard cake boxes comply with CE standards and European regulation 1935/2004. For very greasy or soaked pastries, we recommend adding a cake card or parchment paper between the cake and the base.

How to transport a tiered wedding cake in a box?
Ideally, transport each tier separately in a dedicated cake transport box, then assemble on site. If assembly before departure is mandatory, choose a reinforced box with integrated cake drum, following the rule: box width ≥ diameter of the widest tier + 4 cm, height ≥ total height + 5 cm.

How long does a cake keep in its box?
It depends on the type of cake and temperature. At room temperature (18-22°C), a cake design covered with fondant keeps 2 to 3 days in its closed box. In the refrigerator, count 4 to 5 days for an entremet in an airtight box. Avoid condensation by taking the box out of the fridge 1 hour before opening.
