Petal Box 2.0

June 9, 2009
I was emailing back and forth with ISLY reader, Cathy, who gave me such a great idea. She had been looking for a box template that she could use for packaging 1 cupcake. I thought I could really use one of those, too, especially since I had also been thinking up a crazy cupcake recipe that used molded chocolate as the cupcake cup. MMM. Chocolate. Seriously, no better time to make a cupcake box than when I'm dying to make cupcakes. _dsc0696sm The template is great, the box is fabulous (not just for cupcakes, mind you), the only problem with this template is that you have to print it on either two sheets of 8.5x11 paper and tape the two parts together, OR you have to go somewhere to get it printed on 11x17 paper. While that might be a little inconvenient, it still only takes a few minutes to make the boxes anyway. If I had any parties coming up anytime soon, I would definitely use this idea for favor boxes. _dsc0717sm Seriously I'm on a party/wedding kick. I never really satiated my hearty party cravings with Penelope's birthday. Now that my sister is getting married and I'm helping her out with invitations and inspiration, I'm GOING CRAZY. I want to party! Maybe I should just have a random party anyway. This could also serve some purpose for Father's day. Oh gosh, it's coming so quickly.

I'm really happy with this little box. It fits cupcakes perfectly with plenty of room for greedy fingers to take a cupcake out and for the cupcake to be piled high with sugary, sweet frosting. Give it a try! Also, stay tuned as I will be sharing an amazing, almost-better-than-sex, mind-exploding cupcake recipe soon!!
