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.
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 8.5×11 paper and tape the two parts together, OR you have to go somewhere to get it printed on 11×17 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.
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!!

Super cute! What size is the box? I need to make for cupcakes, but need a 4x4x4 box. thanks!
It’s 2x2x2 – A 4x4x4 inch box would require an 18″ square sheet of paper. You could certainly download and blow up the pattern to use on larger sheets of paper, but at that point, the large sheets of paper would end up costing you more than the cost of just buying them. Check out papermart.com, they have some 4 inch boxes here.
Hmm it seems like your site ate my first remark (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum
it up what I had written and say, I’m carefully enjoying your blog.
I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing.
Do you have any points for first-time blog writers? I’d really love it.
The Best advice is to just keep writing! Writing has been a weakness of mine for years and I’m finally getting to the point where I don’t dread the writing part.
