Single & double cupcake boxes
There are 7 products.
A single cupcake box or a double cupcake box turns one cupcake into a small gift with a big impact. Whether as a wedding favour, a thank-you for birthday guests, a sweet Valentine's treat or for selling single cupcakes in a café: these little boxes protect the cupcake, hold it upright with an insert on the models that have one, and look lovely too. In this category you will find single cupcake boxes in white and kraft, a set of 3 pink single cupcake boxes and 2-cupcake boxes in white and kraft.
Ideas for single and double cupcakes
Precisely because they only hold one or two cupcakes, these boxes feel especially personal. Popular uses include:
- Wedding favours: one cupcake per guest in a white single box at every place setting replaces the classic sugared almonds and doubles as a place card with a little name tag.
- Valentine's Day and anniversaries: the 2-cupcake box is made for two: two cupcakes with heart decorations, one for each of you.
- Birthdays at the office or school: every colleague and every child gets their own little box. Everything stays hygienic and can be eaten later.
- Baby showers and christenings: the set of 3 pink single cupcake boxes is perfect for a baby shower or as a small thank-you for the godmother and grandparents.
The range: single and duo boxes
The white single cupcake box with insert is a popular choice for favours because it suits every colour scheme. There are also the white single cupcake box and the white cupcake box with insert in further versions. For a natural look, the kraft cupcake box with insert is ideal, and it goes particularly well with boho or country-style weddings and with chocolate or caramel cupcakes. The set of 3 pink single cupcake boxes adds a splash of colour. For two cupcakes, there are the white 2-cupcake box and the kraft 2-cupcake box.
Small boxes have another advantage: every cupcake stays separate, flavours do not mix, and guests with allergies or preferences recognise their flavour at once if you label the box. For buffets with many flavours, this is a simple way to keep things organised while still looking beautiful.
Tips for favours and single sales
- Plan early: with 80 or 100 guests, it is worth assembling the boxes a few days in advance. On the day, you only need to fill them.
- Consistent decoration: decorate all the cupcakes in the same style, matched to the colours of the wedding or party. The result is a harmonious look on the table.
- Personalise: a sticker with a name, date or initials turns the box into a personal keepsake.
- In the café: offer cupcakes to take away in the single box. Customers can carry their cupcake home safely and your bake arrives intact.
- Keep cool: store filled boxes in a cool place until they are handed out so the frosting keeps its shape.
Combinations and creative uses
Single boxes can be combined in many ways. For a sweet Advent calendar, fill 24 small boxes with mini surprises or cupcakes for the weekends and number them with stickers. At a party, set them out as candy bar favours. At a bake sale, single and double boxes complement the larger formats: anyone buying one cupcake gets a small box, anyone buying for the family a larger one, which you will find in Cupcake boxes. Pair pink boxes with berry cupcakes and kraft boxes with nut and chocolate flavours, while white boxes go with everything.
What to look for in single and double cupcake boxes
- Insert: even a single cupcake can tip over in the box. A box with an insert keeps it securely upright.
- Quantity: for weddings and parties you usually need many boxes at once. Plan a few spare boxes.
- Colour: white looks elegant, kraft natural, pink playful and festive.
- Single or double: the single box is the typical favour, the double box suits couples, small gifts and selling in pairs.
