Packaging, my weakness!

I love packaging. It's my american upbringing. In fact I would say really good packaging costs about as much as your product. But its' that clever packaging that gets me to buy their product and not the cheapskates. So naturally when I create something I want some nice packaging. This picture below has AMAZING colors. Just love it!

Here's what I've found for cupcakes.

DIFFERENT SIZES:
Cheapest is PlasticContainerCity.com. I like this website because you can buy individually and not just by the cases of like 5000. They carry all you need that's plastic. Jumbo, regular and mini cupcakes. Instead of the standard size cupcake, make mini ones. A recipe for 12 regular cupcakes will bake 24 mini. They're super cute and easier to eat.
For a fundraiser in our youth ministry we'll be making Mini Tasting Packs that will feature 6 different flavors. People love that.

WHERE IT DOESN'T BELONG:
Putting something where it doesn't belong is always a plus. Like I've placed cupcakes in chinese food boxes (Smart N Final about 25 cents a piece) or my new one is a Berry Box.
This will feature my Strawberry Skys cupcake for my friend Sarah's business.

BUT CARDBOARD IS THE BEST:
My favorite packaging for cupcakes is brown cardboard from BRPboxshop.com.


PERSONAL TOUCH:
Put a homemade sticker on the package and make it yours. Wrap a ribbon around it, glue a button. Whatever but just don't leave it alone.
CLASSY:

Whatever you place them in, make sure it's classy and clean. Sparkles Cupcakes in Sydney, Australia just look expensive because of the mirror inside the black box.
