Cupcake boxes!

*perplexed*

Some daring friend ordered cupcakes from me. And it's not in small amounts.

He ordered about 9 for his girlfriend, which he specially would bring to Kuching for her and another about 5 for his family.

I am not worried about the cupcakes. I am perplexed about the BOX to carry the cupcakes in. I have no box for them. I tried making one and I lacked the materials for it. I made some sort of a tray but it cannot hold even the weight of my handphone. I tried putting just one cupcake I still had frozen in the fridge and I placed it at the centre of the tray and it was okay. But I tried placing my handphone and the whole tray twisted causing my phone to slide to my lap in less than one second of letting go of the phone. ><

It is 2.10 am. I have 3 choices.
1) Buy a cake box from a bakery
2) Continue trying to make a box
3) Cancel the order. Which I am so not happy to do. ><

Since he will be flying that tray of cupcakes to Kuching, meaning taken here and there, up the plane and so on, it needs to cover the cupcakes and is solid enough to hold the cakes throughout the whole journey so that it doesn't topple over or anything. That is the most important thing. The thing about cupcakes is, its icing which is one of the important elements of the cupcake is the one which made cupcakes quite a messy thing to be delivering. ><

I'm gonna buy some mahjong paper to make somesort of like a paper bag like the big ones used by McD when we have takeouts. One last try. If not I will hunt for boxes. God, help!

So the only thing I need to develop now is the boxes/trays to use to pack and deliver my cupcakes in. Because the plastics shops in Sibu doesn't sell those plastic containers for cupcakes. SAD. This shows that there are not cupcake businesses so far in Sibu. Yays for me but no yays because no boxes. ><

  1. Do you watch DC cupcakes? Its a reality tv show on this shop that specializes in cupcakes. I noticed they have these cupcake boxes usually in the amount of 6 that allows their cupcake not to shift around and is covered so the cupcakes are protected.
