Welcome to the Packaging Clinic

Hi Shirley,

First off, let me say that your creations sound absolutely mouthwatering! I had to Google them just now, and I must admit, they’re quite impressive. Packaging these tall, delicate cakes can be challenging, but there are solutions that could work for you.

I’d recommend exploring bottle packaging options. While your cakes might not be as tall as wine bottles, they share a similar cylindrical shape. If you find standard bottle boxes too large, consider customizing them by cutting the dividers in half and adding a piece of sturdy cardboard between layers. This setup provides excellent stability and prevents the cakes from tipping over during transit. Additionally, the thick cardboard ensures durability, making it ideal for deliveries to multiple locations.

Another idea is to use reinforced gift boxes designed for taller items. These often come with foam inserts that cradle the product snugly, ensuring no movement occurs inside the box. You could even customize these inserts with slots tailored specifically for your cone-shaped cakes.

In either case, the key is to ensure that your cakes remain secure and protected throughout handling and shipping. Remember, presentation is crucial when it comes to specialty cakes—so don’t skimp on the packaging detail!

Feel free to reach out if you need further assistance or want to discuss specific materials. I’m happy to help!

Warm regards,
