One of my favourite parts of cake making is presenting the finished cake to its intended recipient. The look on their face, as they see the cakes, makes all the hard work worthwhile. Presentation is key, and a significant part of that is how the cake is packaged.
Let me introduce you to the Olbaa cake boxes. If you haven’t heard of them yet, Olbaa creates beautiful cake boxes that provide ample space for your cakes. I’ve been using them for my own creations, and they’ve quickly become a staple in my kitchen. Keep reading for a special 10% discount code for the Olbaa website. #AD
First Impressions Matter
Making a great first impression is so important. Think about a time that you visited a place that wowed you on that first visit, or when you received something beautifully wrapped. You want the first time someone sees your cake to be just as memorable.
If you’ve been thinking about elevating your cake packaging you need to check out Olbaa’s cake boxes. You may have seen them in some of my recent cupcake and bento cake tutorials. They not only look amazing but are also incredibly well-designed.
Rachel and Haf from Olbaa have crafted beautiful boxes for cakes, cupcakes and sweet treats with cake makers in mind. Rachel is a cake maker herself and she knows exactly what we need from a cake box.
Tall Cake Boxes
Single-tier cakes have grown taller over the last few years, and let’s not even talk about trying to package a two-tier cake. If you’ve ever tried to stick corner extensions into your boxes with Sellotape, balancing the lid on the top, and wrapping the middle with cling film, you’ll definitely appreciate Olbaa’s tall cake boxes. Rachel and Haf have created tall boxes that slide easily over your cake, and they even have a window in the front so everyone can get a little sneak peak of your cake before its unwrapped.
Olbaa offers a range of sizes perfect for single-tier cakes, and their 51cm (20-inch) high box is ideal for two-tier cakes.
Now I haven’t even mentioned the best part, their boxes come in pink! Yes they have white and blue too, but the pink is just so pretty and you all know I love pink.
Cupcake Boxes
For those of you who bake cupcakes or mini cupcakes, Olbaa has you covered. Their cupcake boxes are well spaced and deep. No more holding your breath as you close the box, just in case the lid closes on your beautiful buttercream swirl. The boxes are easy to assemble and look amazing for showcasing your cupcakes in your Instagram photos.
These boxes are also fantastic for bento cakes. Check out my bento cake tutorial to see how I modified the Olbaa 6 cupcake box to fit this pretty 5 inch bento cake!
Treat Boxes
Rachel and Haf haven’t just thought about cakes and cupcakes, they have boxes for macarons, donuts, cookies, cakesicles, and treat boxes. I absolutely love that all your packaging can match, no mater what you’re baking.
Masonite Cake Boards
One thing that I talk about in a lot of my videos is using a really sturdy cake board, this is is essential for lifting and transporting cakes. Olbaa’s white Masonite boards are perfect for this. Available in 8, 10, and 12 inches, they fit their boxes perfectly.
They have a really lovely glossy white finish which means you can leave them white if you like instead of having to cover them in fondant. Personally I love these boards when I’m making buttercream cakes.
The best thing is if you’re baking just for your family at home once your cake has been eaten, you can just clean them off and use them again (just don’t submerge them in water).
