Square cake boxes
There are 82 products.
Square cake boxes are the most versatile packaging for round and square cakes: the cake sits in the centre, the corners leave room for your hands, and the cake carton is stable to carry. Here you will find all square cake boxes from Cakelicious, sorted by height: from flat pastry boxes and the classic 15 cm high cake box to the tall 30 x 30 x 30 cm cake box.
Tall, classic or flat: the heights at a glance
Which box you need depends mainly on the height of your cake including decoration. The box should be at least 2 to 3 cm taller than the cake so that the lid does not touch anything:
- Tall cake boxes from 17 cm for tiered cakes, drip cakes and cakes with figures, sugar flowers or tall toppers, 20, 25, 30 and up to 40 cm high: Tall cake boxes (height 17 cm and up)
- Classic cake boxes 11 to 16 cm high, the standard for birthday cakes, cream cakes and cheesecakes up to about 12 cm: Classic cake boxes (height 11–16 cm)
- Flat boxes up to 10 cm for tarts, cream slices and cake slices: Pastry & tart boxes (height up to 10 cm)
The most popular sizes: 25 x 25 and 30 x 30 cm
The most frequently ordered bases are 25 x 25 cm and 30 x 30 cm. A 25 x 25 cm cake box suits cakes of 20 to 22 cm in diameter, a 30 x 30 cm cake box cakes of 25 to 26 cm. Both sizes come in several heights: the 25 x 25 x 15 cm and 30 x 30 x 15 cm cake boxes for standard cakes, and the 25 x 25 x 25 cm and 30 x 30 x 30 cm cake boxes for tall cakes. The range goes from 15 x 15 cm to over 40 x 40 cm. As a rule of thumb, choose a base 3 to 5 cm larger than the cake diameter; you will find the detailed table under Cake & pastry boxes.
If the cake should stay visible, choose a cake box with window or a transparent cake box up to 40 cm high. Tall boxes are also available with adjustable height. If you bake often, the value pack of 25 is worthwhile, and you will find sets of box and board under Cake boxes with cake board.
Frequently asked questions about square cake boxes
Why use a square box for a round cake?
The corners leave room to put the cake in on its board and lift it out again without damaging the edges.
Which height do I need for a 14 cm high cake?
Add 2 to 3 cm. The 15 cm high box is then too tight, so choose a tall cake box 20 cm high.
Are square cake boxes available in larger quantities?
Yes, the white 15 cm high cake boxes come in value packs of 25, from 20 x 20 x 15 cm to 35 x 35 x 15 cm.
